The most soul comforting journey youâll ever experience! The most kind and warm crew ever! Ive fallen in love â€ïž - This was hands down the most incredible yacht trip in Punta Cana Iâve ever had! What a beautiful place it is. This was my first time in the Dominican Republic, and I was a bit anxious about finding the right charter, I was so skeptical about the other sites and was spiraling because i had to book immediately, but Boat Trips really exceeded all my expectations.
A huge thank you to the yacht crew, especially Catherine, who was so warm and kind, and David, who kept us laughing and entertained throughout, God Bless him abundantly! They made sure everything was perfect, everything was spotless, beautifully decorated, and ran so smoothly. They even made sure our wine was perfectly chilled and the food was always warm, which made the whole trip even more special.
Spending three hours on the stunning water with such breathtaking views was euphoric, i really do recommend visiting Punta Cana. Add it to your bucket list. My husband and I enjoyed it so much that we've already booked their private romantic getaway package for next month! If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, I highly recommend Boat Trips. We can't wait to come back! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž

Highlight of our Punta Cana trip - What an amazing experience. Definitely the highlight of our holiday. The crew was absolutely amazing. You can tell that they take customer service very seriously. Food and drinks where also top notch. I can definitely recommend this to everyone looking to book a private catamaran.

Unforgettable timesđ„ł - Our experience was phenomenal. It was a group of 13 of us celebrating two peoples 40th BDay. Captain Luis, Genesis, Rene and Maikol were friendly, personable, and lots of fun. The crew and overall experience was amazing. Would definitely recommend to others and do it again if I return in the futuređ€

White party - We had a 40th bday celebration with family and friends. It was a great time filled with music, drinks, and snorkeling Our team Capitan Luis, Marine René, Guide Genesis, and Paparazzi Maikol were kind and fun. We purchased pictures and videos from Maikol who did a wonderful job capturing pics of everyone. The only change I would make is to offer more food and snacks on the trip. It was well worth it!

Bavaro Tour - EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT! Book your next tour with them and you will not be disappointed.
We went on 5 excursions during our vacation and this one was BY FAR the best. We had an awesome time.

So much fun! - We had so much fun on this trip! The staff was so friendly & did an amazing job! Lillandy was absolutely amazing, she was so friendly and we had so much fun with her. Only recommendation would be more liquor options on boat, only rum was provided.

Amazing snorkeling tour - We had a great time with Mauricio and the crew! They were very attentive and took great care of us. I especially loved seeing all the fish and the fresh coconuts. Highly recommend.

False advertising- there was no BBQ - I will start by saying we did have fun. My rum punch was good and the staff all had great personalities. I believe this excursion falsely advertises what it offers and that is why I rated it 2 stars. This party cruise promised a BBQ, specifically chicken skewers among other things. The only thing we got was a piece of pineapple. In the moment, nobody complained because the assumption was the promised food would eventually happen but once the cruise was finished, we were all starving and confused. The second complaint I have is when you arrive, there are endless people trying to sell you things before you get on the boat. The guide is part of the pressuring to get you to look and buy. It was obvious we didnât want anything but they just wouldnât stop. After getting through that, we walk to the beach and the cruise left us. They wouldnât let us walk straight through to the beach but also took off without us even though it was our guide that slowed us up in an unwelcomed way. Overall, it was fun. But again, they advertise food which makes them more expensive than others on viator but there was zero food.

Horrible experience! Donât believe any of the photos - Where do I even start? This was a birthday day out that completely ruined a birthday for someone special. We paid $158 for a catamaran which was supposed to include food (chicken skewers, potato salad, snack) and an open bar amongst things that should have been common sense like SEATING, a relaxed yet fun day and actual space to roam aboard. None of that was provided. We had to reach out the morning of for someone to pick us up from our hotel. The excursion didnât start at 2pm, started after 3pm.
As soon as we got dropped off at the location it was complete chaos. We werenât told who to speak to where to go.. there were just crowds of confused people just following others. They basically gathered loads of people (during Covid) all together and I mean LOADS of people onto four boats lined up and they PACKED those boats to and beyond full capacity (during Covid). We pulled off with people having no where to sit and I do mean no where to sit so lots of people had to stand. Couples were sitting on top of each other and to make matters worse after we were some yards out two more small boats pulled up dropping even more people onto the boat!
None of the food promised was provided so we arrived hungry and didnât eat until after we got back to our hotel. Someone walked around with a small plate of watermelon and pineapples for people to grab from. There was no open bar just two jars of juice that everyone had to pour from. Apparently govt shut down alcohol being served on the boat the day before so we couldnât argue with that but none of the pictures of anything that said was included was provided.
Even after coming back ashore again there was no guidance. We had to go ask how are we supposed to get back and we were then told where to go. This company is just in it for the money. They donât care about the experience you receive, your comfort level, your safety or your health. Not to mention we werenât even directed to where life jackets on the boat were in case of an emergency. I took videos of the crowds and multiple boats coming to drop more people onto the boat but TripAdvisor only allows you to upload photos.
I have been on multiple catamarans in beautiful places and this excursion was the worst excursion even outside of catamarans that I have ever experienced. We even overheard others saying they only paid $40 to board while we paid $79/each for this horrible experience. We will be requesting a refund for the time, birthday and money wasted.
