WHAT’S INCLUDED

WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED

Want to experience this iconic coastline right? Ditch the packed tourist boats. If you’re looking for the absolute best excursion Isla Saona offers, you need a private 56-foot luxury yacht. This is a full-day VIP experience built entirely around your schedule for a group of up to 15 people.

We launch right at 10:00 AM from Fisherman’s Pier down in La Romana. You step aboard, the captain hits the throttle, and you immediately leave the crowds in your wake. The initial cruise out toward the island is incredible. You’ll feel the warm salt spray, catch massive views of the shoreline from the spacious deck, and immediately slip into vacation mode.

Before we reach the main beach, we drop anchor at a quiet, scenic bay. Grab one of our snorkeling masks, jump off the swim platform, and check out the vibrant local marine life in unbelievably clear water.

Then, we hit Saona Island itself. You get two solid hours of dedicated beach time here. Walk the famous white sand, swim in the pristine Caribbean, or just crash in the shade under a palm tree.

The afternoon is all about relaxing. On the way back, we pull into the legendary Palmilla Natural Pool. The water here is waist-deep and perfectly calm. It’s the ultimate spot to crack open a cold drink, sync your custom playlist to the yacht’s Bluetooth sound system, and just hang out in the middle of the ocean.

Let’s talk pricing and logistics. The $4,950 base rate covers the massive 56-foot yacht, your private captain, the crew, and all the fuel. We also stock the coolers with a starter drink package: 16 cold beers, 12 sodas, 12 bottles of water, and plenty of ice.

You handle the food. We actually recommend this approach because it gives you total control over the catering. Bring your own lunch, your favorite snacks, and whatever premium liquor you want to drink. Just remember to pack your own towels and some reef-safe sunscreen.

Need a ride to the marina? We can easily set up round-trip hotel pickup from Punta Cana, Bayahibe, or Casa de Campo for an extra fee.

FULL DESCRIPTION

WHAT TO EXPECT

Begin your luxury experience by boarding your private 56ft yacht at 10:00 AM at La Playita – Muelle de Pescadores, La Romana. After a welcome briefing, your captain sets course along the south coast toward one of the Dominican Republic’s most beautiful destinations.

Saona Island

Cruise to the iconic Saona Island, known worldwide for its white sand, palm trees and turquoise water. Enjoy beach time, swimming, relaxing on deck, music and the freedom of a fully private yacht.

Palmilla Natural Pool

On the way, stop at the Palmilla Natural Pool, a shallow, crystal-clear lagoon that feels like a giant natural swimming pool. Perfect for photos, floating, enjoying drinks and relaxing in paradise.

Optional: Isla Catalina

If you prefer Catalina instead of Saona, your captain can take you along a calm and scenic route ideal for relaxing and swimming.

Throughout the day, enjoy multiple areas of the yacht:

  • Large front sunbed

  • Spacious flybridge with panoramic views

  • Shaded aft deck

  • Indoor salon with 3 cabins and 3 bathrooms

This is a private, personalized experience where you control the vibe — relaxing, celebrating, cruising or swimming at your own pace (within charter time).

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!
