Catamaran Cruise with Overnight Stay – Saona and Catalina
Private Tour to Catalina and Saona Islands
An unforgettable sailing experience with skipper and crew in the Caribbean!
Embark on a dream cruise through the crystal-clear waters of the Antilles, aboard a spacious and comfortable catamaran, for 2 days of leisure sailing.
This overnight getaway will take you to discover two of the most beautiful destinations in the Dominican Republic: Catalina Island and Saona Island.
Relaxation, snorkeling, paradise beaches, sunset on deck, and a starry night in total safety — a true nautical odyssey.
🗓️ Day 1 – Boarding and Departure to Catalina Island
Your private catamaran cruise begins at the port of Bayahibe, a charming coastal village renowned for its proximity to the most beautiful sailing areas in the Dominican Republic.
Upon boarding, you’ll be welcomed by your skipper and crew aboard your fully equipped catamaran, featuring double cabins, bathrooms, a spacious cockpit, and a front trampoline to enjoy the sea spray.
We raise anchor and set sail for Catalina Wall — an exceptional snorkeling spot, a spectacular underwater cliff home to rich marine life, tropical fish, gorgonians, and colorful corals.
After this first dive, head toward “the Aquarium,” a stunning crystal-clear lagoon, and anchor again for a second snorkeling session among colorful tropical fish, in a peaceful setting far from the crowds.
This exclusive mooring spot, beloved by seasoned boaters, will be your haven for the rest of the day and overnight.
A lunch on board, prepared by the crew, will be served while the catamaran gently drifts on the waves.
The afternoon is yours: swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, or relaxing in the nets at the front of the boat.
Once the tourist boats leave the area, the Aquarium becomes a private haven of peace.
At sunset, enjoy a cocktail on the beach or stay aboard to admire the sunset from the front trampoline.
Then, enjoy a homemade dinner cooked by the crew, served under the stars, in the heart of the Caribbean.
You’ll spend the night onboard, gently rocked at anchor, in the comfort of a modern liveaboard catamaran, for an unforgettable nautical experience.
🗓️ Day 2 – Sailing to Saona Island & Return to Bayahibe
The day gently begins at the Aquarium, where you’ll have slept peacefully in the heart of the turquoise sea.
A light breakfast awaits you in the shaded outdoor lounge, offering panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea.
Prepared by the crew using fresh ingredients, it will be served in a calm and relaxing setting — the perfect way to start the day.
After raising the anchor, the sailing catamaran heads toward Saona Island, a natural gem in the Dominican Republic’s pleasure cruising area.
Your first stop is at Catuano, a renowned snorkeling spot known for its crystal-clear marine life, tropical fish, and pristine coral reef.
Masks, fins, and snorkels are provided onboard for this immersive swim in a natural aquarium.
Next, it’s off to a private beach on Saona, reserved just for your group.
While the crew prepares lunch on board — grilled fish, fresh salads, exotic fruits — you can enjoy a relaxing moment of sunbathing on the white sand or in the shade of the coconut trees.
In the afternoon, the catamaran takes you to the famous natural pool, an iconic anchoring spot known for its shallow waters and sea stars.
With a drink in hand, music in the background, and a swim in crystal-clear waters, it’s the perfect time for one last photo of this unforgettable sailing cruise.
The return to Bayahibe is smooth, with arrival expected around 5 PM.
You’ll have experienced two rich days of nautical adventure, aboard a spacious catamaran, in total safety, off the beaten path — under sail, with subtle luxury and preserved nature.
