Catamaran Cruise from Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana for resort guests

The 4-hour catamaran cruise from Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana is our most-booked afternoon excursion. Lobby pickup at the Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana entrance in Arena Gorda around 1:15 PM (~18 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+. Bávaro and Arena Gorda hotels are 15–20 min from the marina — the sweet spot for the 2:30 PM slot: late buffet lunch, quick lobby pickup, no rushed morning, full 4 hours on the water. Who it's for: Adults-only couples, Preferred Club guests, repeat AMR Collection travellers. Typical pairing from this resort: a morning Macao buggy (or a calm Scape Park cenote half-day) plus this afternoon catamaran — same calendar day, one tip envelope at the end, no resort-desk reception loop in between. On board you'll find shaded benches at the bow for sun-shy guests, an open foredeck trampoline for kids, a freshwater rinse on the return leg, and a bilingual cruise director who calls names off the manifest instead of herding by wristband color. We hold seats for Secrets Royal Beach Punta Cana guests under a single booking reference, so families travelling on different reservations still board together. Secrets Royal Beach is adults-only in Arena Gorda — perfect base to pair a calm Catalina day with a Cabeza de Toro sunset catamaran, no buggy noise required.
