The entire crew was so friendly and fun! The boat itself was fabulous and HUGE! We had an incredible time from start to finish. They're excellent with kids and adults alike. Don't miss your chance to see the coral reef and tropical fish in style. You won't regret it!

We have been on Plenty of excursions in many different countries but by far this was the best Excursion we have ever been on! We booked this as our welcome party for our wedding. We brought aboard 16 people and had such a great time From beginning to end. The staff were kind and accommodating. They were full of energy and really brought the party! We weren't sure what to expect but I can tell you it was definitely worth the money and some. It really felt like three excursions in one because the boat ride itself was fantastic, the music was great, snorkeling was Majestic we saw so many fish. We went at noon. Then stopping over at the beach was so much fun! The crew brought a floatable bar into the water and with the music from the boat we kept the party going. The boat was clean and well maintained. The only thing we regret is we actually forgot to bring a tip along with us oh, so don't forget that because after such an amazing host as the staff were you're going to want to tip them. We had people in our party from the ages of 1 to 65. One person in our group can't swim but the life jackets that they brought and the amazing patients from this staff got her in the water and got her to snorkel despite her fears she had an amazing time! This was a great way to introduce wedding guest parties to each other and we would do it again in a heartbeat! By the way yes Charlie is the life of the party but the rest of the staff were awesome as well! Thank you guys you kicked off our wedding in the best way possible

Great crew! Fun and caring. Great boat! Clean and room for fun. Great afternoon - from snorkeling to a cruise down the coast to a great time in the “natural” pool. Hanging in the Caribbean. Adult beverages and well....just hanging out in waist deep beautiful water. This would be great for young adults. Families - your own private cruise.

It was a great tour, if you and your group like to dance party and turn-up this is definitely a cruise for you. My group and I were greeted with a great lunch, then transported via canoe to a larger boat we were greeted By Alex and his crew with fresh fruit, snacks and drinks along with some great dancing music. There was a brief stingray show along with dolphin watching and snorkeling. The Boat docked in the middle of the Caribbean and allowed everyone off to enjoy swimming in the middle of the Caribbean ocean. I would definitely revisit again also make referrals.

Joseph C, Aug 2018
Went out with about 35-40 people on the boat and can confidently say we all had an amazing time! The customer service from the crew Robert, Alexander, and the photographer was fantastic and the drinks were strong! This was the best part of my trip to the DR. I highly recommend booking the tour through this company, you will not regret it!! Thank you for a great time, you guys know how to party!

We had a great time! we went as a group of about 20 ppl. We had the seafood lunch, which was amazing to me... we had lobster, fish, calamari, salad, and plantian. The only thing is there are gift shops so people are constantly asking you to by something. But the actually cruise was fun. It was a party and everyone was turned up!!
Cynthia P, Aug 2018
Crew was very friendly and welcoming. Bridal party had a great time. Music, snacks, and drinks were also good. They kept everyone safe and we had an enjoyable, eventful evening. Thank You!

We had a amazing time on the yacht. The stuff was fun and kept the drinks coming. Our group was running late but that didnt take away from our time on the trip !!
Yocasta_m, Aug 2018
This was the best out of my vacation. My kids loved it from the moment we got on the catamaran. The crew is very professional, attentive and courteous.
Alex, Robert, Andres, Carla and Yakelin are just amazing.
Alex, thank you for being patience with my baby.
We loved it and will do it over whenever we are back in DR.
Sean Z, Aug 2018
We took our whole wedding party of about 26 people on this cruise and we all had a great time! It included snorkeling, swimming with sharks and stingrays, and hanging out in a really cool sand bar area where we had drinks and snacks. I highly recommend this cruise for groups of all sizes, we had a blast!
Taylarr L, Jul 2018
The crew was really nice. There weren't too many people on our boat so it wasn't like a big party which I expected because we went on a Monday I think. The music playlist could've been a little better. We did get to snorkel and there was free unlimited rum and coke. They had chips and salsa as snacks and they photog took tons of pictures. We parked at a natural swimming pool with other party boats and hung out in the water for a little while. The trip seemed a little short but still an overall nice time on the water. I'd recommend.
Elliot P, Jul 2018
This tour was a very fun excursion we took on our honeymoon. The pickup was on-time and easy, the tour leader and all the staff on the boat were great and very friendly. They show you a good time out on the water. They serve you lots of drinks even while you are swimming in the sandbar! They also take you to great snorkeling spot where you see lots of fish. Wear sunscreen and be prepared to drink rum and listen to music!
Robert P, Jun 2018
awesome time! Loved the atmosohere! Drinks were strong, plently of fish while snorkeling, music was bumping!
Ashley F, Jun 2018
We had an amazing time! The crew was extremely friendly and outgoing! They provided a foating raft for our drinks when we were in the water and played music the entire time. They encouraged us to dance, and they also danced along. Its literally a party on a boat! We had a great time, I would highly recommend it!!!

This was a top-of-the-line tour.......Viator got it right. We had 8 people in our party. We each had a great time during the entire excursion. The crew made it all super cool. Pick up was on the spot and on time. Just the right number of people on the boat. Crew was very attentive to everyones needs. There were three children on board whose parents were there to assist them in the water and the crew stood by assisting each of them in and out of the water. Assistance was given in and out of the water. The camera man took excellent pictures of our entire group we paid him a set price for all the pictures and he sent them email.......we received them all Great Job
Hiram_M, Mar 2018
Cruise staff very pleasant and fun. Only thing bad I would say is do not replay on a big drink selection, very minimal drink choices! Only offered beer and rum with little to no mixers. Music was okay, wouldn't say it was the greatest but overall the experience was worth the money.
Mandy I, Feb 2018
We had such an amazing time with Carlos and his crew!! We had an opportunity to add in swimming with the sharks and stingrays which was such an added bonus! The crew was super helpful, the drinks were flowing, and everyone was having a great time!! Will definitely recommend to people who visit!!
Brittany H, Jan 2018
We had a smaller group, but still so much fun! They encourage you to party after snorkeling! Very accommodating with drinks and food. Always make sure your drink is filled. If you are hungry definitely eat before, but they send out an email saying that which is a great reminder! Overall, just great!
Bronwen_S, Jan 2018
We did several trips on our visit to Punta Cana but for us this was the best. We enjoyed it so much we did it twice! What made this trip stand out from some of the others was the team running the show led by Crazy Carlos. Perfect amount of time for an excursion, extremely well organised, informative, snorkelling was brilliant and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed her encounter with the stingray and shark not originally booked but the opportunity arose for her to go as others had booked. The whole crew were absolutely wonderful, great fun and couldnt have been more helpful. On both trips we shared our catamaran with some wonderful people who enjoyed themselves as much as we did. There was something special about seeing the sunset, wearing Santa hats and listening to George Michael singing Last Christmas. Carlos and his team were brilliant, the only crew on all of our boat trips we felt didnt push for tips but they were worthy of a great tip. We will definitely be seeing Carlos and doing this trip again when we return. Thank you very much Carlos, Kimberley, the photographer cant remember his name, fab dancer and all the others. See you again soon, Bronwen and Hannah.

They were very punctual about the time they pick you up in your hotel and in the time the Catamaran goes on sail. But there is some kind of problem with the timing. or there are too much activities or the time is not enough. It was suppose to be a PARTY, but there wasn't a Party at all. The sea was great, the natural pool was good, the shark swimming no so much for the environmentalists. The open bar was very poor, the fruit was very nice. The animation was very good.

Great tour. Well worth the money. Be prepared to party!!!!

I love this trip it was great Carlos is such a great host,Thank you so very much we woud do it again in the future.
Angee P, Sep 2017
The staff was great. The drinks were flowing. And the music was popping. Didn't really get the full snorkeling experience. I also paid for additional experience that I really didn't understand. I though I was going to get a massage from a stingray, that didn't really happen. However, I did get a chance to hold the stingray and get a great photo. If you really want the snorkel make sure you have experience prior use the water is awesome. I also had a chance to be in the water with sharks but not happy that this was not capture on film.
Carlos R C, Aug 2017
