Overview

Whether it's a day out with the whole family or just the two of you, a catamaran cruise is one of the easiest highlights of any Punta Cana trip. Glide along the clear waters off Bávaro for an afternoon of sailing, snorkeling a coral reef, and floating in a natural swimming pool — open bar and Latin beats included.

A Day on the Caribbean Sea

Ask around: the number-one thing visitors want to do in Punta Cana is simple — get on a boat.

One look at that glassy, see-through, aquamarine water and you'll understand exactly why.

So let's get you aboard a sleek, twin-hull catamaran and out onto those postcard Punta Cana waters.

For a very easy price, here's your day on the Caribbean Sea:

  • Snorkel one of Punta Cana's offshore reefs — crystal visibility and a whole world of color just below the surface.
  • Cruise the coastline — sweeping views of beach resorts, powder-white sand, and swaying coconut palms.
  • Anchor at the natural pool — a classic Caribbean moment, standing waist-deep in warm water with a rum in one hand and fresh pineapple in the other.

And that easy price includes plenty more:

  • Open bar — rum, beer, soda, juice, water. (You: tipsy.)
  • Snacks — nachos, salsa, fresh fruit. (You: happy.)
  • Music — Latin rhythms on the Caribbean breeze, from mellow to full-on dance floor (usually a function of how many drinks you've had).

Like we said, water tours top the list in Punta Cana — so it's no surprise our catamaran sail is a best seller.

Scroll up and book your spot on the cat!

We'll see you out on the Caribbean Sea…

Good to know

  • We run several catamarans, so the exact boat pictured may not be the one you sail on — but they're all comparable and offer the same services.
  • This is a shared catamaran, so we can't control the overall vibe. As a rule, morning sails are more relaxed and afternoon sails are more of a party.

Frequently asked questions

What do you do on a catamaran tour?
Catamaran tours in Punta Cana offer snorkeling, a cruise along the coast, a stop at the natural swimming pool (a sandbar with waist-deep waters) and of course music and open bar!
Is there good snorkeling in Punta Cana?
Punta Cana has plenty of coral reef for snorkeling. You'll see plenty of tropical fish, starfish and possibly stingrays and sea turtles. Although snorkeling in Punta Cana isn't considered "world-renowned" it's a fun experience for the novice snorkeler.
What is a catamaran?
Most boats and yachts in Punta Cana used for excursions are technically catamarans. A catamaran is a water vessel with two equal sized hulls underneath, otherwise known as a dual hull catamaran. Nearly all catamarans in Punta Cana are dual hull with a few being tri-hull.

Snorkeling lasts for 45 minutes and it's the first stop on the tour. Once snorkeling is done, the bar is open!

You'll have about an hour to enjoy the natural swimming pool. They'll be music, snacks and drinks in this amazing Caribbean setting.

“Overall a great experience. The Captain was engaging and made the experience enjoyable. There was a "deck mate" of sorts who helped with everything else. He also was an aspiring photographer, and we got upsold in the end on the pictures he took. It was fun, and we did it, but would have been nice for that to have either been included, or to have been given the option with clear up-front price before reserving the experience. Also the only alcohol they had aboard was local beer, and vodka. We preferred rum. To their credit, they took a detour to find us some rum after we were already aboard. We would do it again, but would ask more questions up front knowing what we know now.”
