Summary

Sick of packed tourist boats and rigid schedules? Skip the crowds. Booking a private Saona Island & Palmilla catamaran tour means you claim the Caribbean Sea entirely on your own terms. For eight full hours, it’s just your friends, a sleek VIP Pronautica boat, and the blindingly blue water of the Dominican Republic. No strangers fighting for deck space. No rushing to the next stop.

The day starts easy. We handle your private hotel pick-up—and no, there are absolutely zero hidden fees. From the Bayahibe marina, we push off the dock and throttle toward Palmilla. If you haven’t seen this Natural Pool yet, brace yourself. You’ll be standing waist-deep in ocean water so pristine it looks like glass. Grab an ice-cold beer or a rum from the open bar. Float. Soak up the sun while lounging on the bow. It’s the absolute best way to decompress.

Ready to move? Throw on our snorkeling gear and check out the vibrant reefs below. If you’d rather stay dry, we can rig up some lines for inshore fishing right from the deck. Your call entirely. Once you’re done swimming, we’ll navigate through the dense coastal mangrove excursions. These wild, tangled root systems form massive natural tunnels right along the shoreline.

By midday, you’ll build up an appetite. That’s when the white sands of Isla Saona come in. Step straight off the boat for a proper beachside lunch with the sand literally between your toes.

What Your Day Looks Like:

  • Full-Day VIP Charter: 8 hours (10:00 AM – 5:00 PM) of private sailing.

  • Exclusive Access: Tailored for private groups up to 7 people at a flat $1,495.00.

  • Open Bar: Unlimited cold beer, rum, soda, and water flowing all day.

  • The Full Circuit: Stops at Isla Saona, the Palmilla sandbar, and the mangroves.

  • Stress-Free Transport: Private round-trip pick-up included. (Just bring a little cash for souvenirs or crew tips).

This isn’t another cookie-cutter excursion. It’s an elite luxury boat charter in Punta Cana built entirely around what you want to do. Grab your swimsuit. Let’s get out on the water.

I had a wonderful time with Boat Trips Club from the moment I stepped onto the catamaran. The atmosphere was so much fun, with music, dancing, drinks, and an incredible photographer onboard who made me feel like a queen in the Caribbean. We stopped to swim at one of the most beautiful locations, where Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed, and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. From there, we continued on to Saona Island, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch and had time to relax and take in the beauty of the beach. All of the guides were incredibly helpful, kind, and professional throughout the entire day. They made sure everyone was comfortable, having a great time, and knew what to expect at each stop. Taking the speedboat back was the perfect way to end an already amazing day. It was such a fun combination of adventure, relaxation, beautiful scenery, music, and great energy. I would absolutely recommend Boat Trips Club for an unforgettable day in the Dominican Republic!
