Private yacht rental from your hotel · Barceló Bávaro Beach & Palace
Private yacht charters tailored for hotel guests — captain, crew, snorkel gear and hotel pickup included. Tailored for Barceló Bávaro Beach & Palace guests staying in Bávaro — pickup organised at your lobby, paid in cash or card on arrival. Barceló Bávaro Beach & Palace sits on the Bávaro coast — a family all-inclusive about 25 min from PUJ and 10 min from Cabeza de Toro, the marina we use for most boat departures. Two resorts (Beach + Palace) sharing 2 km of Bávaro beach, a golf course and a casino — the most central all-inclusive on this coast.

Booking from Barceló Bávaro Beach & Palace
When Barceló Bávaro Beach & Palace guests book a private-yacht charter with us, the day is built around two fixed timings: the 10-minute hop to Cabeza de Toro and the 25-minute window to PUJ. Because Barceló Bávaro Beach & Palace is a family all-inclusive, we pre-brief the guide on the lobby layout, the resort's wristband policy, and where to wait so security never asks twice. That's the difference between a smooth pickup and 20 lost minutes at the gate.
Send your dates, group size and room number on WhatsApp
Send your dates, group size and room number on WhatsApp. We confirm pickup time at the hotel lobby, the meeting guide's name, and the cash/card price — usually within minutes, 7am–11pm. Pickup is from the Barceló Bávaro Beach & Palace main lobby. We send a confirmation message with the driver's name and plate the evening before. Expect roughly 25 min between PUJ airport and the hotel. We're a Dominican team based in Bávaro. No call centre, no resort kick-back. Your concierge resells the same trips at +30–50% — we put you in touch with the small operators directly.

FAQ
Common questions
Do you pick up at Barceló Bávaro Beach & Palace?+
Yes — drivers wait at the Barceló Bávaro Beach & Palace main lobby. PUJ airport is about 25 min away, which helps us time pickups precisely.
Which marina do boats leave from for Barceló Bávaro Beach & Palace guests?+
Cabeza de Toro — about 10 min from the Barceló Bávaro Beach & Palace lobby. We always pick the marina that saves drive time over chasing a slightly cheaper boat further away.
Are food and drinks included on board?+
Open bar (rum, beer, soft drinks) and light snacks are standard. Chef-prepared lunches and premium spirits are an optional upgrade.
Can we choose the route?+
Yes — natural pools, Saona, Catalina or a sunset loop. We adapt to wind and your hotel pickup time.
Why not just book at the hotel excursion desk?+
Resort desks resell the same trips with a 30–50% markup and usually push larger group operators. We connect you directly to the small Dominican operators we use for our own family.
Can I pay in cash on the day?+
Yes — USD or DOP, in cash, on pickup. Card and bank transfer also work. No deposit needed for most options.
What languages do guides speak?+
Group tours are bilingual EN/ES. German, French, Italian, Russian and Portuguese guides available on request for private trips.
Can it be private, just for our group?+
Yes — almost everything on this page has a private upgrade (own boat, own buggy, own driver). Ask us on WhatsApp.
