REVIEWS · PUERTO PLATA
The 4 best puerto plata catamaran cruises you can book right now, each with the per-head price, the hours it runs and how much of that is spent at anchor. Number one is first for a reason.
Spend about six and a half hours aboard Tip Top’s 75-foot catamaran, snorkeling at two sites near Sosua, eating a buffet lunch, and sailing the north coast. Guides such as Alex, Papo, Sonia, and Andrew are known for lively service, but snorkeling quality and boat capacity can vary.
“Papo and crew where a blast and a fanominal experience will definitely go again when we return again”
Sail from Sosua to Ocean World Marina aboard a 75-foot catamaran with guides such as Papo and Alain. You’ll snorkel at two sites, enjoy lunch and an open bar, then cruise the coast with music and dancing. Hotel pickup from Puerto Plata and Cabarete is included.
“The crew was everything. Thank you for the dancing, laughs and all the support in the water. We would do it all over again!”
Spend a half-day off Puerto Plata at Sosua Beach, snorkeling two reefs, swimming, eating BBQ chicken wings and sausages, and enjoying music, soda, and alcoholic drinks aboard a catamaran. Pickup is offered, groups are capped at 20, and crew members such as Alex help keep the party moving.
“They picked us up from our hotel with an open air truck. We drove for an hour to Sousa and got onto a catamaran. The staff were friendly and helpful. The music and barbecue were fantastic. They had snorkeling equipment and a slide on the boat. The staff takes pictures that you can purchase at the end. Would definitely do it again!”
Spend three hours aboard a shared catamaran in Sosua Bay, with a beginner-friendly snorkeling stop, grilled chicken, sausage, fruit, music, and an open bar. Pickup is available from Amber Cove, Taino Bay, and nearby hotels, though the ride to the boat can take 30 to 50 minutes each way.
“Amazing communication throughout the whole experience! Very professional. Very responsive and helpful with questions!”
By what the day is for, by what comes with the ticket, or by who else is aboard.
