Cap Cana · Dominican Republic
Skip the shared tours. Every boat we run — yacht, catamaran, or sportfisher — is booked exclusively for your group, with a licensed local captain and transparent hourly pricing confirmed before you step aboard.
We don't run a marketplace and we don't sub-charter through brokers. Every yacht rental in Punta Cana we operate is boarded, crewed, and captained by our own team out of Marina Cap Cana — which means the price you're quoted is the price you pay, and the captain who greets you at the dock is the same one who's been briefed on your trip.
Our Punta Cana yacht rental fleet ranges from nimble day boats to full luxury motor yachts, so the boat matches the trip — not the other way around. Every listing is available as a private charter only, with transparent hourly pricing and no hidden fees. All charters include a complimentary bottle of Dominican Rum Brugal. 🎁
Your private charter, with peace of mind.
Welcome to Cap Cana Yacht Charters — the Dominican Republic's premier destination for private Punta Cana yacht rental, operating from the exclusive Marina Cap Cana. Whether you're planning a romantic sunset cruise, a birthday celebration on the water, a bachelorette charter, or a full-day snorkeling excursion, our fleet and professional crew are built to make the day memorable.
Cap Cana is home to one of the Caribbean's most modern marinas, surrounded by world-class resorts, pristine beaches, and clear turquoise water. Unlike shared tours or crowded catamaran excursions, every Punta Cana yacht rental with us is 100% private — just your group, your crew, and the sea.
Our yachts depart daily from Marina Cap Cana, giving you direct access to Juanillo Beach, the Natural Sandbar, Cabo San Rafael, and deeper offshore waters perfect for fishing and diving. We serve guests from all major Punta Cana and Cap Cana resorts with complimentary hotel pickup coordination.
Most shared catamaran tours cram 50+ people onto one island stop. A private Punta Cana yacht rental means you set the pace, choose the timing, and skip the midday tour-boat crowds. From the starfish sandbars of Palmilla to the reefs off Catalina and the calm shallows of Juanillo — every route is yours to write.
About Juanillo: A calm, reef-protected white-sand beach inside the gated Cap Cana community — the first stop on our flagship full-day charter. Juanillo is known for its shallow turquoise water and sheltered shoreline, making it the perfect place to open the day with a swim. This route combines all three flagship stops — Juanillo Beach, Palmilla Premium and Catalina VIP — in one 8-hour run from La Romana.
This route combines all three flagship stops — Juanillo, Palmilla Premium and Catalina VIP — with a 1-hour sailing time each way and a morning start from La Romana.
About Catalina VIP: A protected island inside Cotubanamá National Park, with white-sand beaches and the Dominican Republic's most famous snorkeling reef — "The Wall" (La Pared). The reef drops along an underwater cliff, offering superb visibility for coral and tropical fish.
Catalina VIP departs from La Romana with a morning start only — the one-hour crossing each way gives you a full 8-hour day on the water. Ground transfers are arranged when you book.
About Palmilla Premium: A natural offshore sandbar inside Cotubanamá National Park, where the water stays waist-deep for dozens of yards. It's famous for its calm, crystal-clear turquoise water and the starfish resting on the sandy sea floor — often called the largest natural pool in the Caribbean.
Palmilla and Catalina depart from La Romana with a morning start only — the one-hour crossing each way gives you a full 8-hour day on the water. Ground transfers are arranged when you book.
Choose your departure marina at booking: Cap Cana Marina for the Punta Cana / Juanillo route, or La Romana for Palmilla Premium and Catalina VIP. Route and stops are adjusted for wind and sea conditions on the day.
DJ, bar and catering packages can be tailored to your group.
Transfers are included with most charter bookings — confirm at reservation.
We run a small fleet on purpose. Fewer boats means more attention on yours — your captain isn't juggling five other charters that day.
Every vessel meets Dominican Republic maritime safety standards, with full insurance coverage for total peace of mind on the water.
English and Spanish fluent crew members who understand the nuance of international hospitality — clear communication, seamless service.
Tell us the occasion and we'll build the itinerary around it — not the other way around. A concierge, not a booking form.
Every Punta Cana yacht rental with us includes on-board catering built around your day. Tell us what you're picturing — a relaxed spread of fruit and snacks, or a full seated lunch with fresh local seafood — and we'll have it ready before you board. No menus to choose from in advance if you don't want one; just tell our concierge what your group likes.

Your departure point shapes your day on the water. If you're comparing a Punta Cana yacht rental against options further south, it helps to know the two routes aren't interchangeable. From Marina Cap Cana, charters run along the Bávaro coastline to Juanillo Beach, one of the region's calmest and most scenic stretches of sand. From La Romana, charters head south to Isla Saona and the reef waters off Isla Catalina — two of the most sought-after boat trips in the Dominican Republic. These are two separate departure ports serving two different sets of destinations, and the right one depends on where you're staying and what kind of day you want.
A Punta Cana yacht rental out of Cap Cana keeps things close and relaxed. The run to Juanillo Beach stays near shore, with calm, clear water well suited to swimming, paddling, and easy snorkeling without a long transit eating into your time on deck. It's the better choice if you're based in Punta Cana or Cap Cana and want a shorter day on the water. Reaching Isla Saona or Isla Catalina requires departing from La Romana instead — these islands sit south of Cap Cana and aren't accessible on a Cap Cana charter. The Saona trip is famous for the Natural Pool, a shallow sandbar where the water stays waist-deep for a long stretch offshore, while Isla Catalina, just off La Romana, is known for a coral wall that drops into deeper, clearer water right off the beach — ideal for groups who want more reef and less island time.
Cap Cana and La Romana are two different marinas serving two different sets of destinations — whichever route fits your trip, we'll confirm the right port when you book your Punta Cana yacht rental, rather than listing every island as reachable from every marina.
Rates start at $200/hour depending on vessel size and group. All pricing is hourly with a 4‑hour minimum, shown up front on each listing — no booking fees added later.
Captain, crew, fuel, and standard safety equipment are included on every charter. Catering, drinks, and add‑ons like a DJ or extended hours are optional upgrades — ask your concierge for options.
No. Every charter comes with a licensed Dominican captain — you don't need any boating experience.
Yes, we coordinate complimentary or discounted pickup for guests at major Punta Cana and Cap Cana resorts. Tell us your hotel when booking and we'll confirm transport details.
We recommend booking 2‑3 weeks ahead in high season (December–April) to guarantee your preferred vessel and time slot. Last‑minute charters are sometimes available — message us on WhatsApp to check same‑day availability.
Not directly — those islands are reached from a separate marina in La Romana, not Cap Cana. If that's your priority, tell us when you inquire and we'll route you to the right departure point rather than sell you the wrong trip.
A 40% deposit is required to confirm your reservation. This deposit is non-refundable if you cancel, regardless of the notice provided. Any amount paid toward the yacht rental above its 40% deposit will be refunded. If the captain or operator determines that weather or sea conditions are unsafe, you may reschedule at no additional charge. If rescheduling is not possible, all amounts paid toward the yacht rental, including the rental deposit, will be refunded. No-shows are non-refundable. Late arrivals do not extend the scheduled charter time. Please see our Cancellation & Refund Policy for complete details.
