Overview

We'll collect you from your resort and whisk you off to the private grounds of southern Cap Cana — a world of swaying palms, shallow crystal-clear water, mangrove forests and hidden lagoons. There, along the shore of one of the Dominican Republic's most celebrated beaches, a VIP catamaran outing is waiting for you.

Your Private Day on the Caribbean

A private catamaran cruise. Lunch on a tropical beach. And a cool dip in crystal-clear lagoons.

Sounds good? Then read on, because it only gets better.

The setting for this exclusive day out is the Punta Cana Club & Resort — a staggering 15,000 acres of high-end resorts, beachfront villas, chic restaurants, an ecological reserve, and some of the most breathtaking beaches and turquoise water anywhere in the Caribbean.

Now that the scene is set…

A Cruise to Remember

At the exclusive Cap Cana Marina, you'll step aboard a spacious catamaran into a picture-perfect Caribbean scene — still, aquamarine water running clear to the horizon. The bar is open as the double-hull catamaran drifts lazily along this private coastline. Kick back, work on your tan, drink in hand — we'll only interrupt you twice.

Once, to pause at an offshore sandbar where the water sits waist-deep and drinks come to you from a floating bar.

And again, to snorkel a tropical reef alive with colorful fish.

Pardon the interruptions. We hope you'll forgive us.

Hungry?

Next comes lunch at the Playa Blanca Restaurant, a relaxed meal on a beach that borders on ridiculous — ivory sand, coconut palms, and a glassy sea-green ocean behind it all. Settle in for a several-course spread built around the area's seafood, alongside Dominican staples and sweets.

A Short Walk to Hidden Lagoons

The Taíno people called their lagoons and cenotes Ojos Indígenas — "Indigenous Eyes." A dozen of these Eyes lie sheltered within the Punta Cana Ecological Reserve, a natural sanctuary tucked into the southern edge of the Punta Cana Club & Resort. So go on — jump in. Each lagoon is fed by an underground river of pure water and shaded by the surrounding mangrove forest.

Escape the crowds and treat yourself to one genuinely special day of your Punta Cana vacation.

Intimate outings like this one have only a handful of spots, so book ahead to make sure of yours. Cruising, dining, drinking and swimming in exactly the Caribbean setting you've been picturing — this is the day you won't forget.

“Overall, a great experience! The staff were warm and exceptionally friendly, and lunch right on the beach was delicious. While there wasn't a ton of marine life to see at the snorkeling spot, the day overall was still well worth it and highly enjoyable.”

“We’ve been to Punta Cana before, but had never done an excursion until now. After looking around for a good snorkeling option, we landed on this one and were really glad we did. Pickup at our hotel was right on time, followed by a quick 10 to 15-minute drive to the marina and smooth boarding. The boat ride out to the snorkeling reef took a bit of time since the coastal waters are shallow, but once we arrived, the location was great and we saw plenty of small reef fish (even with a slightly choppy sea). Afterward, we headed to a beautiful sandbar to wade around for another half hour before taking a relaxed cruise back. A wonderful way to break up the resort routine!”

“The Sunshine Cruise around Cap Cana exceeded all expectations. Between snorkeling with colorful marine life and floating in gorgeous turquoise waters, it was the ultimate relaxing day. Jose was phenomenal, taking extra effort to capture fantastic couple photos for us along the way. Highly recommended!”
