About This Tour
Forget the packed resort pools. If you want true privacy on the water, a catamaran Isla Saona trip delivers exactly that. We cast off between 9:00 and 9:30 AM. Just your group, our crew, and miles of vivid Bayahibe coastline. The salty ocean spray hits you right as the boat picks up speed. Perfection.
Our primary destination is Catuano on Saona Island. You get three solid hours here to do absolutely nothing, or everything. Wade into the warm surf. Grab a cold Dominican rum. We strongly advise snagging a spot under the coconut palms before the midday sun gets too intense. Because this is a private catamaran charter Dominican Republic experience, you dictate the pacing. Whether you have an intimate group of two or a massive party of 60 guests, the boat is exclusively yours.
Swimming burns serious calories. Don't worry, we bring the kitchen to the beach. You'll sit down to a massive buffet lunch prepared fresh on the island. The menu features hearty lobster spaghetti, thick pork chops, and grilled chicken. We balance out those heavy plates with a crisp pasta salad tossed in a tangy tomato and cucumber dressing, plus plenty of sliced tropical fruit.
Once lunch wraps up, the anchor comes up. Next stop? The massive Las Palmillas natural pool. Picture water so clear and shallow you can stand waist-deep while miles from shore. It's wild. Grab your snorkeling mask and look down. Giant starfish scatter across the pristine sandy bottom at Starfish Cay Bayahibe. Just float there with a local beer, soda, or bottled water in hand. No rush.
Booking a private boat trip Saona Island means we handle the frustrating parts of travel. Your 8-hour reservation includes seamless, private hotel pick-up. No weird hidden fees tacked on at the dock. We grab you from your lobby, show you the absolute best of the coast, and safely drop you back by 5:00 PM.
