Ocean Faith combines several activities into one private boat experience.

Instead of booking a snorkeling excursion and a separate water activity, your group can enjoy snorkeling alongside the vessel's advertised waterslide and rope swing.

The four-hour duration also provides more time on the water than many shorter Aruba boat excursions.

The private format means the charter is reserved for your booking rather than sold as a standard shared excursion.

The exact vessel, maximum passenger capacity and departure location aren't specified in the supplied listing.

Arrive at the Departure Point

The advertised charter runs from 10 AM until 2 PM.

Guests must arrange their own transportation to the departure point because private transportation is excluded.

The supplied listing doesn't identify the exact marina or boarding location.

Confirm your meeting point and arrival instructions before departure.

Enjoy a Private Cruise

Once aboard, your group can enjoy the sea breeze and coastal scenery during the four-hour experience.

The operator describes the activity as a sailing trip, although the specific vessel type isn't identified in the supplied listing.

The route and sightseeing stops aren't specified.

Snorkeling in Aruba

Snorkeling equipment is included.

The operator advertises sanitized equipment for guests to use during the charter.

However, the description doesn't name particular snorkeling locations or guarantee stops at sites such as Boca Catalina, Malmok or the Antilla shipwreck.

If you want to visit a particular snorkeling location, confirm the itinerary before booking.

Waterslide and Rope Swing

Two of the charter's most distinctive features are its advertised waterslide and rope swing.

These activities can add variety for groups interested in more than swimming and snorkeling.

Use of the equipment will depend on crew instructions and safe conditions.

The listing doesn't specify age, swimming ability or other participation requirements for these activities.

Snacks and Drinks

Snacks are included in the formal booking inclusions.

The operator also advertises an open bar on its sailing trips.

However, the open bar isn't separately listed among this product's formal inclusions.

Before booking, confirm the drinks package, whether alcoholic beverages are included and whether any restrictions apply.

The private format may appeal to travelers planning:

• Family outings
• Birthday celebrations
• Groups of friends
• Bachelor or bachelorette outings
• Pre- or post-wedding group activities
• Small private celebrations

These are possible uses of the charter, not confirmed event packages.

The listing doesn't identify the vessel's passenger capacity or advertise special event services.

If you're planning a celebration, confirm the number of permitted guests and any rules about decorations, food or music.

The advertised starting price is $1,650.

The listing doesn't explicitly confirm whether this is the total charter price or a per-person price.

If $1,650 is the total group price, the cost per person would depend on how many guests are permitted.

These are hypothetical calculations, not confirmed booking options or vessel capacities.

Verify the maximum number of passengers and final charter price before booking.

The formal inclusions are:

• Snacks
• Use of snorkeling equipment

The experience description additionally advertises:

• Private four-hour charter
• Waterslide
• Rope swing
• Open bar

Because some advertised features aren't repeated in the formal inclusions, confirm that they apply to your selected booking.

What's Not Included?

Private transportation to the departure point is explicitly excluded.

The listing doesn't confirm meals beyond snacks, special event arrangements or additional purchases.

Consider bringing:

• Swimwear
• A towel
• Sunscreen
• Sunglasses
• A hat
• A waterproof phone pouch
• Any necessary personal medication
• Transportation arrangements to and from the departure point

Confirm whether food or drinks beyond the advertised package can be brought aboard.

The listing advises that this experience isn't recommended for:

• Pregnant travelers
• Travelers with spinal injuries
• Travelers with poor cardiovascular health

Infants are required to sit on an adult's lap.

The listing also describes the activity as suitable for all physical fitness levels, but that general statement shouldn't override the specific health restrictions.

Ask the operator about snorkeling, waterslide and rope swing requirements if you're traveling with children or non-swimmers.

This charter displays a 3.3/5 rating based on 24 Viator reviews.

The visible rating breakdown is:

• 13 five-star reviews
• 1 four-star review
• 0 three-star reviews
• 1 two-star review
• 9 one-star reviews

All 24 reported reviews are accounted for.

The distribution is notably divided: more than half of reviewers gave five stars, but more than a third gave one star.

That makes recent written reviews especially important.

Before booking, check for recurring feedback about:

• Communication and organization
• Vessel condition
• Crew service
• Whether advertised amenities were available
• Snorkeling stops
• Drinks and refreshments
• Overall value for money

The rating doesn't establish why individual guests were dissatisfied, so it's important to read their comments rather than assume the cause.

The advertised policy allows a full refund for cancellations made at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure, subject to terms.

Weather-related cancellation provisions are also listed.

Ocean Faith offers an appealing combination of features for a private group: four hours on the water, snorkeling equipment, snacks, an advertised open bar, a waterslide and a rope swing.

These amenities may be particularly attractive to families and groups looking for an activity-focused boat charter.

However, the relatively low overall review rating is an important consideration, especially at a starting price of $1,650.

This charter is worth comparing with other private Aruba catamarans and boat excursions before making a reservation.

Confirm the vessel capacity, departure location, included drinks and snorkeling itinerary, and review recent customer feedback.
