Private yacht charter off the coast of Punta Cana

Punta Cana Yacht Rentals

Private yachts and catamarans with captain, crew, and open bar. Locally owned and operated since 2008.

Rent a Private Yacht in Punta Cana

We've been chartering yachts out of Punta Cana since 2008 — before most of the competition had a website. In 18 years on the water, we've learned exactly what makes a great charter: the right boat, a crew that knows the coastline, and none of the hassle that comes with booking through middlemen.

Every yacht rental includes a captain, crew, open bar, and food. You're not renting a boat and figuring it out yourself — you're booking a full experience. We handle the route, the stops, the snorkeling gear, the music. You show up and enjoy the water.

Most of our guests want a private trip to Isla Saona — it's the iconic full-day experience with white sand beaches and turquoise water. For groups looking for something more budget-friendly, our Caribbean Dream Sail and Picaflor Mini Yacht deliver the same open bar, food, and crew at a lower price point. And if you're here to party, we have party boats built for exactly that.

The Complete Guide to Yacht Rentals in Punta Cana

Punta Cana sits on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. The Caribbean side — south of Cap Cana — is where you want to be on a yacht. The water is calm, turquoise, and warm year-round. This is where every charter from our fleet operates.

A yacht rental here is not like renting a boat back home. You're not handed keys and pointed toward open water. In the Dominican Republic, every charter comes with a licensed captain and crew. They handle the navigation, the food, the drinks, the anchor — everything. Your job is to relax, swim, and enjoy the ride.

Most visitors book a yacht rental as the centerpiece of their Punta Cana trip. Whether it's a family vacation, a bachelor or bachelorette party, a birthday, an anniversary, or a corporate outing — a private day on the water is the experience people remember long after the resort fades from memory.

We've been running yacht charters out of Punta Cana since 2008. We're not a booking platform that takes a cut and disappears. We own and operate the boats. We hire and train the crews. When something needs to be handled, we handle it — because we live here and our reputation is everything.

One thing worth knowing before you book: most hotels marketed as "Punta Cana" are actually in Bavaro or further north, and the boat will likely launch from Bavaro Beach — not from the Punta Cana community itself. We explain the difference (and why almost everyone calls everything "Punta Cana") in Bavaro vs Punta Cana: a local's honest answer. We coordinate hotel pickup from anywhere between Cap Cana and Uvero Alto, so it doesn't change what you book — just useful context for matching the trip to where you're actually staying.

Where Our Yacht Charters Go

Every destination is on the calm Caribbean side — warm water, white sand, no rough seas.

Saona Island

The most popular destination for full-day charters. Saona Island is a protected nature reserve with powder-white beaches, shallow turquoise water, and almost no development. Our private yacht trip includes a beach stop with lobster lunch, snorkeling over coral reefs, and a stop at the famous natural pool sandbar. It's a 7-hour experience and the one guests talk about most.

Catalina Island

A smaller, quieter island about 90 minutes south of Punta Cana. Catalina is known for its snorkeling — the reef here is one of the healthiest in the Caribbean. It's a full-day trip with fewer crowds than Saona. If your group cares more about marine life and snorkeling than beach lounging, Catalina is the move.

The Natural Pool

A shallow sandbar in the middle of the ocean where you can stand in waist-deep turquoise water with nothing but sea and sky around you. It's a standard stop on most of our half-day and full-day routes. The crew drops anchor, puts on music, and sets up the floating bar. It's the most photographed moment on every charter.

Punta Cana Coastline

Half-day charters cruise along the Punta Cana and Bávaro coastline. You'll see the resorts from the water, stop at secluded snorkeling spots, and anchor at calm coves for swimming. It's a 3–4 hour trip that's perfect for smaller groups, families with kids, or anyone who wants a yacht experience without committing to a full day.

Half-Day vs Full-Day Yacht Charter

Half-Day Charter Full-Day Charter
Duration 3–4 hours 7–8 hours
Destination Punta Cana coastline, natural pool Saona Island or Catalina Island
Open Bar Included Included (upgraded options)

What to Expect on Your Charter Day

1

Pickup & Transfer

For full-day charters, our driver picks you up at your hotel lobby in the morning. The ride to the marina takes 20–30 minutes depending on your resort. Half-day guests meet us directly at the marina.

2

Board & Depart

Your captain and crew greet you at the dock. Life jackets and safety briefing first, then drinks start flowing as soon as you step on board. The music goes on, the lines come off, and you're on the water.

3

Cruise, Swim & Snorkel

The captain follows the planned route with stops for snorkeling, swimming, and floating. The crew handles everything — setting up the gear, serving food and drinks, even taking photos for you. The natural pool stop is where most groups spend the longest.

4

Beach Stop & Lunch

Full-day charters anchor at a private beach for lunch — grilled lobster, fresh fish, rice, salad, and tropical fruit on Saona Island trips. Half-day charters include snacks and fruit served on board.

5

Return & Drop-off

The cruise back is the most relaxing part — sunset on the water with drinks in hand. Once back at the marina, your driver is waiting to take you back to your hotel. You'll be back in time for dinner with a sunburn and a full camera roll.

Real Reviews From Real Guests

From our 800+ Google reviews — here's what recent guests had to say.

"The captain and crew did an amazing job with our excursion. My wife and I wanted to treat our wedding guests to a fun day on the boat since everyone traveled so far for our destination wedding, and we were certainly not disappointed by our experience. The Malibu party boat was the best of both worlds with the bar and shade on the lower level and the sun deck and slide on the upper level. The transportation was included and was a very nice bus for the whole group. The boat stopped to do some snorkeling and then went to a cool sand bar area where a bunch of other boats and people were hanging out. Overall, we had a great time, and I would highly recommend."

Brendan Anderson Malibu Party Boat

"We had an awesome experience! The catamaran brought us just a few minutes from the shore, and then we got to go snorkeling. After that, we took another short ride before heading to some shallow water to relax. The food and drinks were excellent, and the crew (including the photographer) were fantastic. The only improvement we’d suggest is more time sailing and less time at the sandbar. We’d highly recommend this as a private charter for a small group."

Riley Fisher Baby Catamaran

"We had a really great experience from start to finish. The entire excursion was well organized, the staff was friendly and professional, the drinks were great, and the overall atmosphere was a lot of fun. Everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you for such an amazing experience we will definitely come back again!"

Darden Kimberly Malibu Party Boat

"Absolutely amazing experience! From start to finish, the staff was incredibly courteous, professional, and helpful. We chartered a yacht through them, and everything went flawlessly easy booking, a well-maintained boat, and excellent support the whole way. A truly enjoyable and stress-free experience. Highly recommend!"

Mitchell Hobbes Caribbean Dream Sail

"We celebrated a bachelorette party, and it couldn't have been more perfect! Our group is on the more laid-back side, but if you're looking to party, they can easily make that happen too. They're very flexible. They arranged to pick us up right at our hotel, and our driver, Jhon, was incredibly kind and made us feel completely at ease. The boat captains were also very friendly and really added to our wonderful experience."

Kymani Mays Saint Mary Catamaran

"Thanks to Yeny and crew as everything was organized perfectly from pickup to drop-off. The drinks were flowing, the music kept the atmosphere fun, and the entire excursion was an amazing experience from start to finish. I had such a great time and would definitely do it again on my next trip to Punta Cana."

Andre Lowe Picaflor Mini Yacht

"Absolutely incredible - the boat crew was fantastic and looked after you from beginning to end. The 3.5-hour duration was just right, and we had an absolute blast. We might have overdone it a little on the drinks, but that’s on us. You won't be let down."

Tyler Stevens Margaritas Party Boat

"Our crew was outstanding! We received VIP treatment from start to finish. There were six of us in the group, and every one of us had a fantastic experience. I would absolutely recommend this private excursion. Everything went smoothly, from pickup to drop-off."

Taylor Dawson Catamaran La Palma

"We chartered this boat for my husband’s birthday, and it was an incredible experience. The crew was amazing, caring, attentive, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. We saw tons of marine life: colorful fish, stingrays, and even turtles. Highlights included jumping off the boat and using the catamaran slide. Hands down the best-organized excursion we've done in the Dominican Republic—no commercial pressure or pushy sellers, just pure enjoyment. Thank you for a memorable day. We 100% recommend it!"

Gabriel Bates Malibu Party Boat

"Absolutely amazing service. We rented a boat for a four hour tour in Punta Cana and enjoyed the snorkeling, the bar service, and the food. The took us over to a beach where we swam in a secluded area. It was truly a special experience. We genuinely felt taken care of the whole time out on the water. I would definitely book through these guys again. What a great way to spend the day in the beautiful Punta Cana."

Jeff L Catamaran La Palma

"We had an absolutely incredible experience on our chartered yacht!! We book with this company regularly for our yacht charters, and it’s always the highlight of our entire vacation!! The crew was outstanding, the food was delicious, and the yacht was spotless and immaculate!! The planning process was also smooth and extremely well-organized!! I will continue to use this company and highly recommend them to all of my friends and clients!!"

Walt Suggitt Saint Mary Catamaran

"The boat trip was absolutely amazing. They took us to a great snorkeling spot filled with colorful fish and beautiful coral reefs. Along the way, we passed by the dolphin area and later stopped at a natural pool near the beach where everyone could relax, enjoy drinks, and listen to music. It was such a fun and memorable experience. I’ve done this tour two years in a row and it never gets old. Highly recommended."

More Questions About Yacht Rentals in Punta Cana

Yacht rental prices in Punta Cana range from around $500 for a half-day catamaran sail to $3,000+ for a full-day private motor yacht to Saona Island. The price depends on the boat, group size, and duration. Every charter includes captain, crew, open bar, food, and snorkeling gear — there are no hidden fees or surprise charges at the dock.

Tipping is not required but always appreciated. If your crew went above and beyond — and they usually do — a tip of 10–15% of the charter price is customary. You can tip in US dollars or Dominican pesos. Hand it directly to the captain and he'll share it with the crew.

Absolutely. Many of our charters are family groups with kids of all ages. Life jackets are provided in children's sizes. The crew will adjust the itinerary — calmer waters, shorter snorkeling stops, more beach time. Kids love the natural pool stops where the water is shallow and warm. Non-alcoholic drinks are always part of the open bar.

The waters off Punta Cana are generally calm, especially on the Caribbean side. Most guests don't experience seasickness. If you're concerned, take motion sickness medication 30 minutes before boarding. Our captains also know the calmest routes and can adjust if someone isn't feeling well. We always stay within sight of the coastline.

Bring sunscreen (reef-safe preferred), sunglasses, a towel, and your phone or camera. Wear a swimsuit and bring a cover-up. Everything else — food, drinks, snorkeling gear, floats, music system — is provided. Leave valuables at your hotel. We have dry storage on board for phones and wallets.

If you need to cancel more than 72 hours before your charter, you receive a full refund. Within 72 hours, we'll work with you to reschedule to another date during your trip. Weather cancellations are always fully refundable or rescheduled at no cost — safety comes first and we'll never take you out in unsafe conditions.

Every yacht rental with us is 100% private. It's your group, your boat, your day. You won't share the yacht with anyone you didn't invite. This is not a group tour or a shared catamaran excursion — it's a private charter with a dedicated captain and crew for your party only.

Full-day charters include complimentary round-trip pickup from any hotel or Airbnb in the Punta Cana / Bávaro area. Half-day charters depart from the marina — we'll send you the exact location and directions after booking. The marina is about 20–30 minutes from most Punta Cana resorts. We can also arrange transportation for half-day charters at an additional cost.
