Exclusive Escape with Ocean Explorer Catamaran in Punta Cana
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience with this private hire boat during our family trip to the Dominican Republic! From the moment we boarded, everything was seamless—professional crew, beautiful boat, and top-tier service from start to finish. The crew was friendly, attentive to our young children , and made sure we were comfortable and having fun the entire time. They took us to stunning, secluded spots for swimming and snorkeling, and even arranged refreshments and music that made the vibe perfect for both the adults and the kids. The boat was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. It truly felt like a luxury experience. We created memories we’ll cherish forever, and I can’t recommend this enough if you’re looking for a relaxing and unforgettable way to explore the coast. Would absolutely book again! Once again thank you to the crew and leydis for such an amazing booking ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yacht Adventure⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Fun Memories, Captain & Crew Included
Get this boat! Their team made sure communication was seamless, everyone of the crew was nice and accommodating, even helping navigate snorkeling. We were a family reunion of 30 and had the whole boat to our selves. It was spacious and the included alcoholand fruit were a plus!

We had a blast on Lillia's yacht! It was my lady's birthday and Lillia decorated the boat so nicely with a personalized poster, beautiful bouquet, a gorgeous fruit, cheese and cracker platter, balloons! We were so blown away by her attention to detail and her special touches. She was also very sweet upon meeting her when we arrived. The experience was awesome as well! The skipper, Chancey, was very helpful and made sure we laughed and had fun! He helped us pose fpr photos and made the trip a blast! He was also very encouraging and patient with us whenever we needed our gear adjusted while snorkeling. The Captain (I forget his name), was very mellow and calm, made us feel comfortable and helped us whenever we needed anything. The boat ride was very chill. I would def choose to use them all again and again! It was a beautiful ending to our Punta Cana trip and birthday celebration!!! Great gratitude to you for making everything so super special!!!
