Happy Hour Sailing Cruise from Punta Cana

Posted By : P8456FHmattw
Jonathan and his crew gave our group of 12 packer fans the best time ever! Snorkeling was some of the most fish we've ever seen. The sand bar was a huge double decker boat party! So fun. Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a good time

Pick up was 15 min late. If they are not on the security list at gate you they won’t let bus in to pick up people.
This was my first happy hour/booze cruise but what was described was not all that of a big whoop!
It was at least over a hour before they opened the bar and if there was a reason behind it ? It was not disclosed. Maybe because they snorkelled on the first stop ? But crew never said anything as we all were asking can we have some alcohol instead of pop they were serving for the longest time. It wasn’t until the first stop of snorkelling they opened bar when everyone was in the water? And served who ever didn’t participate In Snorkelling.
It was so bizarre.
Then the weather turned to rain and overcast and we sat anchored in the water all 20 of us huddled under this tiny roof. Then moved to another spot a hour later and anchored there for about a hour. For us to swim In shallow water.

I found it boring and wanted to head back to shore. The sound system was just horrible if u know what blown speakers sound like.
I’ve heard so many fun things from friend’s experiences on their booze cruises but with different tour operators.
I won’t do another happy hour with this tour operator. It was just a boat ride for me.

If you’re looking for nonstop, extremely loud music from the time you leave the dock until you return this one’s for you.
Brochure shows a sailboat catamaran. Instead, it’s a powered catamaran. The limited shade is right by large speakers that were pumping out a high volume sound the entire time.
After the snorkeling experience, the bar opened to adult beverages.
Most of the time was cruising at slow speed to a snorkeling area, where we spent about 30 minutes, then another very slow speed cruise to a shallow area where we could swim.
The crew was very friendly and accommodating but I must say the cruise wasn’t what we expected.
I would’ve liked more moderate volume music, more time snorkeling, and more sightseeing.

This was the worst thing my friends and I did in Punta Cana, the entire process was difficult to say the least. Then when on the boat it was extremely boring, there was nothing to see while snorkelling, they had only vodka and rum on the boat and ran out very quickly, we stopped at a location in the ocean that was supposed to be waist height water, I am a tall person and couldn’t keep the water above my chin while trying to drink my drink. My friends couldn’t come in the water, we wanted to socialize with others in the water and were not allowed to leave the small deep area. The snacks included on the boat were a bag of chips each LOL. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!

Not worth the $85 per person. We booked through Amstar at Secrets In Punta Cana. Amstar is a top notch service we always, and will continue to use- but they need to evaluate this Happy Hour event, that lasts well over 5 hours! So plan ahead, it’s not 3 hours.

It’s an old boat, no sail, 2 70hp motors on back, some music, but no real entertainment and crowd fun compared to other events we have been on with Amstar. We were given only 3oz plantains as a snack, drinks were good, all you can drink! Staff tried, but badly broken English, hard to understand and engagement with the paying customers was not deemed real fun.

Snorkeling was good, and the area during the cruise to stop and wade in the water was fun and enjoyable!

We just thing for the money, needs to really be revamped and the staff was really nice, but wouldn’t spend $85 a person again.

Overall we had a very good cruise. The music was very loud at times, but the snorkeling portion was very fun! As was the swimming in the natural pool. The guides tried their best to get everyone up and dancing too. The 4 hours is the perfect amount of time for the cruise also!

We attended the happy hour cruise in September 2022. We got on to find there was no drinking until after snorkelling which we were totally fine with, but this bothered some guests. We drove around in a circle for 30 mins before getting to the “snorkelling” spot. I honestly could have seen more in a pool. We snorkelled over sand and had to follow a guide who wore flippers… as it was shallow this disturbed all the sand, meaning all fish had been scared off and all the sand uprooted.
We were then taken to a “natural pool” which was a shallow bit of sea that was filthy and filled with other boats and locals carting animals around trying to make a dollar.
Then we headed back….
It wasn’t really worth it, there was no authenticity and it just felt like a machine churning out drunk tourists. Save your money. Try something else.
Although - our host Johnathan was engaging and nice.

This boat party was an amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone! The music was great, the drinks were great and the dancing and partying was awesome! We got to watch the guests that paid for the scuba diving as they swam far away from the boat. We also got to swim in the "natural pool" part of the waters that only came up to the chest and the water was very very warm. Overall an amazing time!

We booked to go the night before after being recommended by the hotel desk and wanted to get out of the resort for the day, it was sold to us as a party boat with some snorkelling and it was exactly that. (If you are going for the snorkelling alone this is not the trip for you) you are taken along a very scenic part of the beach and then pull us to snorkel for about 30 mins. It’s then sting drinks and loud music all the way. Lots of reggaeton and RnB Rap, they then take you to a spot where serveral boats like this one stop and everyone gets in the water to party and drink for about a hour. It’s all great fun and the staff are nice. Only reasons I didn’t give a 5 star review was

The “snack” they provide is a bag of chips that say on them 15c each and you get 1

Towards the end the main guy who was on the microphone all day came around with a hat “Demanding” Tips quite aggressively, I told him at 1st I’ll sort it at the end. He walked off annoyed

He then stood near me keeping a eye on me. I then went in my bag to put my glasses away and he saw there was money and came over again asking and I said firmly “At the End” to which he replied we need it now before we go back or the boss will take it… I couldn’t be bothered arguing gave him $10 and said give me back $5. He never did.

And they also take a photo of you before you leave. And ask if you want to buy it when you return. It’s $39 and they don’t even print it. $39 for a emailed photo. That’s a joke but as most people are drunk a few do actually buy it. But it’s a scam

Shame because it’s shame a nice day out
