Cabo Rojo Shore Excursion: Private Catamaran to Bahia de las Aguilas

Skip the crowded bus that drops forty people on the same stretch of sand. From the dock at Carretera de los Pescadores, five minutes from the cruise pier, your private catamaran pushes off along the quiet southwest coast, and the open bar is already pouring.

The coastline here is desert-dry and almost empty: cactus, limestone cliffs, and water that shifts from pale green to deep turquoise. You anchor over a living reef for snorkelling, then sail on to Bahia de las Aguilas, consistently ranked the most beautiful beach in the Dominican Republic. Eight kilometres of sand inside a protected national park, with no bars, no vendors and no buildings of any kind. Just your group, the beach and the sea.

This is the trip we recommend for cruise passengers who would rather have the beach than share it: couples, families and groups of up to sixty. Every cruise-day departure is timed around your ship, so you sail back to Cabo Rojo with comfortable time before all-aboard.

Departure Point: Carretera de los Pescadores, in front of Hotel Eco del Mar, about 5 minutes from Cabo Rojo Cruise Port, Pedernales, Dominican Republic
Group Size: Up to 60 guests (private charter)
