I originally planned for this trip as a surprise anniversary gift for my husband. However, Katrin was traveling and closed on the day of our anniversary, so I decided to include the entire family as an alternative to booking a separate Sunset or Snorkeling cruise for the rest of the family on a different night. And I'm SO glad I... More

My wife and I chartered the Morningstar with Katrin and JJ for an sunset sail with dinner. I could go on for hours about the incredible food, great conversation, and breathtaking views on the water. Simply put, this was the best experience of our week in Aruba. The dinner rivaled any of the local restaurants. You MUST take the opportunity... More

My wife and I and 2 young sons (8 and 4) had a wonderful day snorkeling at spanish lagoon and lunching at Nikki beach. Katrin and JJ were wonderful hosts. We felt very safe, and we had a wonderful time being shown the island by them. The snorkeling at spanish lagoon was amazing and not to be missed. Katrin entertained... More

Our family travels with anywhere from 15-25 people each year when we visit Aruba. The morning star will take a maximum of 12 so often times we charter the whole boat multiple times. For roughly $80/person you will be taken on a personalized tour for snorkeling or sunset cruises. Katrin (prounounced "Katherine") welcomes you with hugs and even sometimes remembers... More

My girl got this for me as a Valentines Day gift, and we could not have been happier. Katrin and JJ make the experience feel so warm and personal, and the evening flew by. We had a private sunset dinner cruise with a menu prepared for us built by Katrin and my girlfriend, and everything was stellar. Learned about the... More

I should have written this review 2 years ago, as we (6 couples) charted the Morning Star boat in February 2010... now we're going back and the first consideration I had was to reach out to Kat to re-book another expedition. It was a phenomenal experience. We generally charter a boat for a snorkeling trip at each Caribbean island we... More

Recently had the opportunity to charter the Morningstar for a 5 hour snorkel and 4 course lunch with my husband and 3 friends with whom we were cruising. This was about my sixth time and every trip has been superb! The owner (and chef) Kat and JJ -- jack of all trades -- see to every detail to ensure everyone... More
