The best party boat from Occidental Caribe

Overview

This is our 4-hour catamaran party cruise out of Cabeza de Toro — the highest-rated party boat in Punta Cana and the one we send our own friends on. From the Occidental Caribe in Arena Gorda the transfer is 15–20 min on the highway, never through resort back roads. Once on board you get unlimited Dominican rum, ice-cold Presidente beer, Jungle Juice cocktails and soft drinks, a Caribbean lunch ("Grandma's Chicken" with rice, beans, salad), hookah on the upper deck, a snorkel stop at the reef and 45 minutes anchored at the natural sandbar pool — a knee-deep aqua-blue swimming hole in the middle of the ocean. Flat $125 per person includes the round-trip transfer from your hotel, the boat, the bar, the food, the hookah, the snorkel gear and the crew tips. No resort-desk markup, no surprise dock fees, no upsells on board.
