Had a great trip snorkeling, going down the slide and playing in the water. Eddie and his entire crew were top notch and made sure our experience was perfect. They also provided beers, soda, water and chips and snacks, fresh fruit. The entire experience from the driver picking us up at our hotel to the excursion and transport back to the hotel was perfect! Would definitely book with this company again!!

Eddie did a great job making our private boat experience perfect!
The snorkeling equipment was well cleaned and the guide was great to help us find cool things to see!
We were able to easily use our Spotify playlist over their speakers.

Amazing experience, would highly recommend. Eddie and crew were spot on, very well organised and thought through.
Eddie clearly explained what we had planned for the day and always prioritised our safety. Each part of the trip was well planned as we saw dolphins, snorkelled and spent time on the beach of an island. We were particularly impressed that the tour actually tailors to what you want, we ended up snorkeling longer and spent less time on the beach.
The snorkeling location was great, a good variety of fish and the crew fed them bananas to attract the fish which made for better sights.
And overall the day flowed really nicely, everything ran on time and delivered exactly as promised. I would highly recommend this as you have the luxury of your own boat and a trip that's truly tailored to you.
A massive thank you to Eddie and the team!

This was a wonderful short half day excursion if you are looking to not be away from your resort all day. Tour was at 10am, pick up at hotel (Breathless) 845am. Boat was clean, crew was fantastic. Eddy was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable. Fernando, John, and Victor were all wonderful too. Pictures were great to take back for memories.
We arrived, got our safety briefing, sailed past the dolphins, did about 45 min snorkeling near a coral reef, played on the water slide for 20 min, sailed to a sand bar and hung out in the water for 45 min to an hour. Highly recommend doing the private tour.

Celebrated my son’s 12th bday , group of 6, and even though I booked it the day before, they were able to provide us a birthday cake (delicious chocolate cake!) great music was played and we really had a fun relaxing time! John took great photos too(extra cost).

We booked 3 excursions during our stay in Punta Cana and this one was BY FAR the best one. Highly recommend for anyone with a small group and looking to have the entire boat to themselves. Also, the tour guide Eddie made the entire experience even BETTER! Thanks Eddie!

Jeremy_M, May 2024
Eddie and the team did a fantastic job. They explained everything we were doing, took fantastic photos and interacted well with all in our party (kids to grandparents). Cappuccino, who was our photographer, did an amazing job of taking great photos of the group while also playing and goofing off with the kiddos. The slide was a HUGE hit with the whole group especially the kids. They provided eco friendly products! Amazing views too! We will be booking through them again. We HIGHLY recommend Eddie, Victor, John & Cappuccino and EcoReef.

Great family adventure! The crew was amazing! Highly recommended to anyone looking for fun while in punta Cana!!
Hayley_S, Jul 2023
A group of ten of us recently chartered this boat with 7 adults and 3 kids (1, 3, 8). EcoRerf was extremely responsive with securing our pickup time at the resort for the following day. The crew of Eddie, Cappicino, Jeremy and Victor were very knowledgeable, kind, and fun! Snorkeling was brief but we saw a lot of fish. They best part was the slide in the shallow lagoon. Beer, vodka, rum and light snacks were provided. I would highly recommend chartering this boat with a family or group of friends!
My only complaint was the we didn’t get a full 3 hours on the water, only about 2.5. Still would rate it 5 stars!
Joslyn_M, Jun 2023
Excellent tour! Driver picked us up on time. We rode a dingy out to the boat. Boat was pristine. Guides were wonderful. The photographer did a great job. They took us snorkeling and then to a place to hang out in the water. Slide was fun. Service was great. They Provided watermelon, cantaloupe, chips/salsa and all the drinks you could ask for!
Highly recommend. I would absolutely do this again!
Michael_M, Jun 2022
Best part of our vacation. Other boat parties were jealous of our slide off the top of the boat!! Great crew and great time for all ages!!
Saya_H, Apr 2022
This was the highlight of our trip! We had a private boat for our group of 10. Great communication for the transfer, on-time departure, and a smooth ride. Eddie was fun and engaging, made sure we loved the music, and that our cups were always full! The stops were the right amount of time (snorkeling, then sliding and sandbar)and it was just an unforgettable party off crystal clear water. Very impressed by the quality of the boat and the professionalism of this tour!
The photographer was overpriced and a bit pushy, but the pics were so good it was worth it!
Jason_H, Oct 2021
We had an amazing time even though the weather did not cooperate. The whole crew was fantastic. Great snorkeling, plenty of snacks and booze. Overall a great experience.

Super fun boat for our family of 12. Kids had a great time snorkeling and the at the ocean “swimming pool” area. The boat crew was fantastic. Super nice and made sure all the kids were safe and had a great time.
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Thank you Terri for the wonderful feedback. Your family was amazing and we hope you had an excellent vacation.
Melissa_L, Jun 2021
This is a must when in Punta Cana. We were a group of 11 traveling with Grandparents, adult children and 5 children ages 13-5. None of the children had snorkeled before. The staff were absolutely amazing at making us feel welcome and making sure we had a great time. They made our kids feel safe while snorkeling and always knew were everyone was in the water. Once we were done snorkeling we went to a beautiful spot and we got to swim in the ocean and use the slide. We would absolutely do this again. Best excursion we have ever taken. If you are thinking of snorkeling don't do a group trip take this one instead.
Pollyann_G, Feb 2020
I booked this tour for 10 ladies visiting the Dominican Republic. From the transfer to the boat tour, everything was great! During the snorkeling part of the excursion, the guides had bottles of some kind of fish food they dispersed to draw the fish closer to the snorkelers. When they would squirt it out, the fish would rush up and swim all around you. The boat crew was very accommodating with music choices and beverages. The area we went after the snorkeling to hang out in the water was lovely. They even had a floating cooler to keep our drinks filled at all times. The slide on the boat was an added bonus. The photographer captured some great pictures. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour! (Don't forget to bring your own towels if you are coming from a resort. We forgot, but dried off quickly in the sun of course.)
Response from Host, Feb 2020
Thank you Pollyann for your wonderful feedback. It was a real pleasure hosting your group, and we were delighted to serve you.
We hope to see you again soon in Punta Cana!
