Punta Cana
Party boat vs private yacht Punta Cana for indecisive travellers
Bachelor/bachelorette math: shared party boat ($65–85 pp × 15) = $975–1,275 with strangers. Private 30-pax party charter = $2,500–3,500 with only your crew, your playlist, your duration. Past 15 guests the private boat is usually cheaper per head AND better. Couples or duos: shared party boat is the only sensible option. Yacht is for groups who want privacy more than they want a crowd.
