Catamaran Cruise with Snorkeling and lunch on board!

Posted By : Diana_M
I always enjoy time on a small(ish) boat especially in the sunshine. (The catamaran has capacity of 70, though I’d say the 45 on board was just about right) The crew was awesome.

The snorkeling was “average” the two reefs that we were taken to were not well developed and since the area above water had a strong smell from the engines of nearby idling boats, I’m sure the under water life was affected. Nevertheless, I did see parrot fish, wrasse, trumpet fish, sardines, and one pufferfish. There were plenty of sea urchin, mostly black (avoid these) and a few white that our guide brought up for us to hold. We were given bread to feed the fish. I’m not sure how healthy that is for the fish, but they like it.
There were no turtles, barracuda, nor eels that I saw (and I was looking). There was some litter but overall, pretty clean.

If you have snorkeling gear, bring your own because it is likely better quality than what they had, though theirs certainly was able to do the job.

Lunch was rather light but very appropriate for the activity.

After setting the sails, they put on the music and started dancing. The crew made sure everyone who wanted to had an opportunity to dance. One crewman in particular, almost never left the dance floor. An excellent dancer and strong lead for someone who has never done bachata or merengue. Don’t be shy about dancing.

The main “cruise director” was Alain who was amazing in his trilingual instructions. He flipped back and forth between the three languages with ease,

If I could give this a 0* I would - This excursion was terrible and I wish we could get our money back. This was sold as a sunset cruise with a nice dinner. This was in fact a booze cruise with raw burgers and an over packed boat. My family of four ended up getting off and sitting on the beach for 2+ hours. It was terrible. 1st off they picked us up at the resort at 1 pm. We then proceeded to drive around on the bus until almost 3 pm. When boarded boat we had to sit there waiting for over a hour, they then drove use in a circle until more people boarded- No joke- It was standing room only.- There were not even enough life jackets for people to go snorkeling- We were told we were going somewhere the kids count touch the bottom so they would be comfortable snorkeling (not the middle of the ocean)- Do not waste your money.

First we got picked up in a yellow bus with every seat full and no windows open. Some people wore mask but many coughing incessantly. Catamaran was not that big for how many people they jam on there and still coughing prevalent and no masks at this point.

We decided not to go and they did not offer any refund after initially saying we would get full refund
If we did not want to go due to COVID. Very strange customer service.

The boat was an hour late and disgustingly dirty from the previous charter. The boat staff drank all our liquor and we ran out of rum and beer halfway through the ride. We made them turn around and return us to the beach. This excursion is poorly organized and not very professional. I would not recommend this.

It’s an amazing experience, the hospitality was phenomenal, the staff was hospitable, entero and pleasant and the food was great. I highly recommend taking this specific trip when visiting Sosúa, it’s a bargain for what you get. Not only do you get drinks on the boat, you get a tasty bbq that consist of bbq chicken and pork ribs and side dishes (at least when I was there). You also snorkel for a while and there is a small pool on the catamaran. Overall it’s a wonderful experience, but the best aspect of this is the amazing communication that their staff provides, I was lucky to have Richard as our liaison, he speaks English and Spanish, and goes above and beyond to make sure you have a good time and you get yo experience all your wants and needs. I was also lucky to ride with some fun people who I met and became friends with. I would do this again in a heartbeat, A+ service, A+ food and entertainment, and just an enjoyable time cruising around in the beautiful Dominican Beaches.

Really enjoyed the trip - the crew was fantastic and looked after us well. My only reservation was that the lunch options were mostly carbs, other than that it was great.
