Overview

Our Private Charter to Saona Island tour takes place onboard our beautiful 38 foot motorized double decker catamaran. This is the perfect tour for those who wish to visit the beautiful Saona island on their own terms.

With large open spaces and two decks it is a favorite choice among groups for the Best Catamaran Charter in Punta Cana experience.

This is also a way that families with both divers and snorkelers can spend the day together enjoying the activities they love.

Marvel at a sunken shipwreck, dive or snorkel on a fabulous reef that is home to stingrays and turtles and explore the natural wonders of Dominican Republic away from the crowds.

We pride ourselves on our VIP Service and take care of all details for you from loading gear, serving you a cold drink, changing the tanks our staff is there anticipating your every need. If you love the sea and all things in it then this is the tour for you!
