We did a private boat tour in Punta Cana and it was an absolute vibe from start to finish. First off, you take a small boat to get to the main boat—which already sets the tone like, okay, we’re doing something special. Once onboard, it was just four of us, so no crowds, no chaos, just our group living our best lives. They kept the drinks flowing—rum, mamajuana (pace yourself on that one 😅), plus other drink options if you wanted something lighter. They also had fresh fruit and sandwiches, which was clutch because floating, laughing, and dancing works up an appetite. They took us out to a beautiful shallow spot, crystal-clear water, perfect for hanging out, vibing, and soaking it all in. We had our own music, full control of the playlist, and truly just had a blast with the crew—nine was amazing and made the whole experience even better. And yes, for anyone wondering—there’s a bathroom on board, which honestly matters more than people admit. Private, fun, well-organized, and unforgettable. If you’re in Punta Cana and want an experience that feels elevated but still relaxed, this is absolutely the way to do it.

Hi Melissa, Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that your private boat tour was an absolute vibe from start to finish. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed the intimate group setting, the flowing drinks (and yes, pacing on the mamajuana is always good advice! 😄), the fresh snacks, and the beautiful snorkeling spot. We're especially glad the crew helped make your experience fun and personalized, and that the onboard amenities — including the bathroom — added to your comfort. Your kind words truly motivate us to keep delivering elevated, relaxed, and unforgettable experiences for all our guests. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon! Best regards, Rose

Fun!

Carmen_H, Dec 2025
We had captain Martin and Nine as our crew. They were so much fun. We all had a really good time. I would recommend this adventure to anyone.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Hi Carmen, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Captain Martin and Nine made your experience fun and memorable. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon for another great adventure! Best regards, Rose Hello Catamarans Punta Cana Team

Nice experience, but expected a bit more.

Courtney_M, Jul 2025
Overall a nice experience, but I wish I would have been aware of a few things… -I booked the boat for our party of 15. I was told after I booked that the $750 was for 10 people, although it states up to 15 people. Not a major issue, but I wish it was communicated more clearly in the booking info that each additional person was $75 pp (cash) or $100pp (if I paid on my cc). -The day before our trip I noticed that the boat was currently being booked for $100 less than what I paid. When I mentioned the price difference, the company told me that they would put us on a larger boat because the boat we originally booked would’ve been too tight for 15 people anyway. So why did they allow me to book the boat if it was too small? -The food and drink was not what I was expecting. I suggest bringing your own alcohol on board. No one in my group is picky, but the alcoholic drinks just weren’t good. So most of us didn’t drink or drank what we brought on board. -The hosts were pleasant and a ton of fun, so that made our experience a good one. So book the trip - but pay attention to the small details and bring your own alcohol!

Hi Courtney, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that overall you had a nice experience and enjoyed the fun and hospitality of our crew. 🌟 That said, we truly appreciate you bringing up the points where we could have done better. Your feedback helps us improve, and we’d like to address your concerns: Pricing clarity: We apologize for any confusion regarding the pricing structure. While we do our best to outline additional costs in the booking information, we will review and update our communication to make this clearer for future guests. Boat size: We understand your frustration. Your comfort is our top priority, which is why we upgraded you to a larger boat for your group of 15. However, we’re reviewing our booking system to avoid similar misunderstandings in the future. Food and drink expectations: We’re sorry the drinks didn’t meet your standards. Your suggestion to bring your own alcohol is helpful, but we’ll also work on improving the quality of the beverages we provide to enhance the experience for all guests. Thank you again for your honest review and for choosing us for your trip. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide an even better experience next time! Warm regards, The Punta Cana Private Boat Team 🚤✨

Private small group is the way to go!!!

David_B, Jun 2025
Excellent experience. Worth the extra money to go private small group. Capt gave us options when it came to natural pool and found us an area that no one was at to hang in water away from the 30 boats that were at the normal area.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Hello David_B, Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us!

We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon! Warm regards, Rose

Lovely relaxing time

Stella_B, Mar 2025
Jerry and Nine were great hosts. One of the stops was at the natural pools where many other boats gather. We were asked if we preferred a more private, less noisy spot and anchored just out of earshot; so thoughtful. We played our own music and had a lovely relaxing morning.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

We hope you'll join us again in the future for more adventures on the sea. Thanks again for your review! Regards, Rose

Perfect few hours on the water.

SuzanneH_C, Dec 2024
Nice size boat for our party of 5. Staff was polite and efficient.. transport was timely and comfortable. Boat and crew were great! Supper fun and catered to what our group wanted to do. Snorkeling was good in beautiful waters. I really like this experience as a small group versus one of the big snorkel boats. Our crew with Nine and captain frankie made everything good!

Poor transportation and customer service

Kathryn_L, Jul 2024
They cut out trip short. Their driver never arrived to pick us up and made us call a taxi. Because of this we were 30 min late (though we were ready at the lobby at their stated time) and they did not make this time up on the boat.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear customer, We are very sorry, we sent our transportation to pick you up. Unfortunatetly, we reached him through his phone We could get through because of the signal network problem when we found him, he told me that the vehicle had a problem. That was something unexpected, we did understand it's frustrating, we would never have expected something bad happen, since we heard that from him, we told you to the taxi and we paid the fare. When you got there to our lobby I could see you arrived before quarter of an hour and our it's for that reason we finished at the time for completing the three hours of your activity. We are so sorry, we will take care of this more than we were and will not want this situation will be repeated. Regards

Amazing

Marissa_L, Apr 2024
Our group had the best time on the boat!! Highlight of our trip. Our crew was so much fun and the spots we went to were beautiful. I wish we could have gone for longer!!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We are overjoyed to read your fantastic response. We hope to run across each other again soon. With respect!

Hard to snorkel without fins

Lawrence_I, Feb 2024
Very nice boat with a bathroom. Plenty of refreshments and drinks. Crew was very personable. However, it was a snorkeling trip and fins were not supplied. That made it very hard to keep up with our guide who did have fins. I tired quickly and had to return to the boat. It also would have been nice to know that there was shopping there so we could have brought money.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

We read carefully your special comment, we take care of all the details that you made, we are very sorry we do not provide fins for the snorkeling in order not to destroy the reef. However, we provide the other snokeling equipment. We are elated to know the way we have a your comments towards the service our crews give on the boat and let everything clean. We will keep an eye to the point you touched about the fins(Someday we will see if we can have access to provide them to our customers). We hope to see you again. Thanks a bunch!
