Catamaran Cruise from Lopesan Costa Bávaro for Lopesan Costa Bávaro guests
The 4-hour catamaran cruise from Lopesan Costa Bávaro is our most-booked afternoon excursion. Lobby pickup at the Lopesan Costa Bávaro entrance in Bávaro around 1:15 PM (~15 min A/C van to Cabeza de Toro marina), board our 60-ft catamaran at 2:30 PM, and sail the Bávaro reef line with open bar (Brugal rum, local beer, water, soft drinks), a 45-min snorkel stop at the reef, a sandbar swim at the natural pool, and a relaxed return at sunset. Flat USD 65 per adult / USD 35 per child (3–12) — same boat, same crew as the resort-desk sells for USD 95+. Lopesan's main entrance is right off the Bávaro roundabout, so we board first and grab front-deck catamaran seats while the buffet crowd is still arriving at the marina.

Local intel for Catamaran Cruise from Lopesan Costa Bávaro
A quick reality check from our local desk: (1) Resort tour-desks earn 30–50% commission on what they sell you, so the "discount" is your own money coming back at lower quality. (2) Cash USD is king at the marina — you'll get a slightly better walk-up rate than card, and the captain doesn't lose 3% to the processor. We're agnostic; pay whichever way is easier for you. (3) Anything you read on a hotel info-screen about excursions is at least 12 months out of date. Operators change, boats change, captains change. We update this page when boats actually change hands — usually within a week.
Why locals book with us
We grew up doing these trips for friends and family before it was a business. The vetting bar is still "would I put my cousin on this boat?" — which is why our captain list is short.
How to book
We don't run a booking funnel — we run a WhatsApp thread. You message, we quote, you say yes, we lock the captain, you pay on arrival. No accounts, no card on file, no app.
