Private Yacht Charter from RIU Palace Punta Cana for RIU Palace Punta Cana guests
Private yacht charters from RIU Palace Punta Cana are our highest-end product on this coast: a chauffeured SUV picks you up at the RIU Palace Punta Cana lobby in Arena Gorda (~20 min A/C transfer to Cabeza de Toro marina), you board a 40-90 ft motor yacht reserved for your group only, and the captain cruises the protected Punta Cana / Cap Cana coastline at your pace — Palmilla sandbar, the reef line, sunset out toward Saona, or a discreet swim stop wherever you want. Pricing starts around USD 1,500 for a 4-hour half-day on a 40-ft boat (up to 8 guests, fully crewed) and scales to USD 6,000+ for a full-day super-yacht with chef. Includes captain, mate, fuel, premium open bar, fruit platter and snorkel gear; lunch and chef service quoted separately. From Bávaro / Arena Gorda / Macao we put you on the Cabeza de Toro fleet — 20 min from the lobby, mid-size 40–60 ft yachts ideal for groups of 6–12, and you're at the Palmilla sandbar before the catamaran fleet even loads. Who it's for: Families and couples on the family-friendly side of RIU, Elite Club regulars, multi-week European travellers. Booking flow stays inside one WhatsApp thread: you tell us the date, headcount and budget tier, we send 2–3 boat options with deck photos and exact pricing, you confirm one, we send the captain's phone and the marina map. No resort-desk middleman, no surprise dock fee, no upsell at the pier. Palace guests get the Saona day priced exactly the same as Arena Gorda budget hotels — we don't price by stars on your wristband, we price by seats on the boat.

Local intel for Private Yacht Charter from RIU Palace Punta Cana
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 (3) Anything you read on a hotel info-screen about excursions is at least 12 months out of date.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
Locally run, locally answered. Every operator we list has been on-boat tested by us in the last 90 days, and we refuse the resort kickback model so the savings stay with you.
How to book
WhatsApp us your dates, your hotel and how many people. We send back: firm price per person, lobby pickup time, what to bring, and how to pay. Whole exchange takes ~2 minutes.
