Catamaran Cruise from Occidental Caribe for Occidental Caribe guests
The 4-hour catamaran cruise from Occidental Caribe is our most-booked afternoon excursion. Lobby pickup at the Occidental Caribe entrance in Arena Gorda around 1:15 PM (~20 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+. Occidental Caribe is the smartest value-play hotel in Arena Gorda — and the excursion math works the same way. We send the same Saona boat as the 5-star resorts at the actual operator price.

Local intel for Catamaran Cruise from Occidental Caribe
Three things we tell every Occidental Caribe guests before booking Catamaran Cruise from Occidental Caribe: (1) Lobby kiosks resell whatever pays them most that week, not what's best. We book the captain and boat we'd put our own family on. (2) Tip 10% if the crew earned it (they almost always do — most live off tips). It's not mandatory and not included in your rate. (3) WhatsApp is the only sane way to coordinate here. Email gets lost, hotel concierge phones get busy, and you'll want a live thread when the pickup driver is 5 min out. Message us anytime 7 am–11 pm.
Why locals book with us
Two founders, a dispatcher and a fleet of captains we've worked with for years. No middlemen, no franchise. If your pickup is late, you message a human who knows the driver by name.
How to book
Step 1: open WhatsApp. Step 2: tell us what dates work and where you're staying. Step 3: we send a written quote you screenshot for your records. Step 4: pay the captain on the day. That's it.
