“Staff on boat were wonderful-engaged with us but also let us be a family. Boat was really nice. The staff did a great job helping our 6 and 8 year olds snorkel. Snack were good (chips, salsa, guacamole). Slide was a blast. The 2nd stop felt a crowded with other boats many playing loud rap music which was a negative but out of aviators control.”

“What a time we had! Booked this private catamaran on 3/4/25 for my sister’s birthday. It was a group of 9 of us. The pick up from my Airbnb was on time (actually about 10 min earlier). The driver was pleasant and drove us to the beach where we would be getting on the catamaran. There was food and souvenir spots along the way to the catamaran. The catamaran was clean and the staff were kind and welcoming. The music was so good! They had us all dancing. They took song requests as well. The mixed drinks were good as well. They had rice, chicken and salad as well as…”
Spend about three hours aboard a Coastline Catamarans boat with guides such as Vanessa, Pablo, and Jay. Snorkel over a shallow reef, use the onboard slide, swim in Bávaro’s natural pool, visit a beach, and enjoy sandwiches, cakes, fruit, and an open bar.
“Excellent! Vanessa and her crew were brilliant! We set sail and stopped 3 times, to snorkel and use the slide, the private beach and bay. Open bar, sandwiches, drinks and crisps included. Plenty of space to move around. Would have loved a longer trip with them. Great vibe and our favourite trip!”

“We had an amazing day sailing to Saona Island! The crew was friendly and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. The catamaran ride was a party with music, drinks, and dancing.

“DON’T BOOK THIS! My group had a horrible time on this boat - and found the listing here to be incredibly misleading. 1. The crew was incredibly unprofessional. It felt like a party for them and not us. They were drinking and driving the boat, and at one point abandoned us for 30 mins in the water, when the rest of the passengers were ready to leave. 2. We started 45 mins late. 3. There is NOT an open bar like the listing says there is. There’s one bottle of rum and sodas, that’s it. No beer, no other liquors, just rum. That’s far from an open bar. 4. They…”

“Nel complesso è stata una bella esperienza. I punti negativi: - isola troppo affollata - troppa gente ubriaca - ultimo ma non meno importante, rientrando dall'isola abbiamo cambiato barca senza essere avvisati. Avevamo lasciato su l'attrezzatura da snorkeling ed è stato un cinema recuperarle. A parer mio avrei evitato di includere le bevande alcoliche nell'open bar, anche perché c'erano bambini a bordo.. e non è una bella scena. Consiglio di NON LASCIARE NULLA INCUSTODITO. Do tre stelle e non una perché il capitano è stato gentile e si è attivato per aiutarci”
