Private Yacht Charter from RIU República for RIU República guests
Private yacht charters from RIU República are our highest-end product on this coast: a chauffeured SUV picks you up at the RIU República 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. Ideal for proposals, anniversaries, executive groups and families that want zero shared deck. RIU República is the adults-only party RIU on Arena Gorda — our 4-hour catamaran party boat is the natural daytime extension of that energy, same open-bar feel plus a snorkel and sandbar pool stop.

Local intel for Private Yacht Charter from RIU República
Stuff we wish we'd known before our first Private Yacht Charter from RIU República day: (1) The "free" excursions at the resort lobby are not free — they're a 30–50% mark-up on the same operators we use direct. (2) Atlantic side (Bávaro/Cabeza de Toro) gets afternoon chop; Caribbean side (Cap Cana, Saona) stays glassy. We factor that into which boat we recommend for your hotel. (3) The published "all-inclusive resort" price for Private Yacht Charter from RIU República is usually $120–180 per person. Our direct rate for the same boat is closer to $70–110. We're not cheaper because we're worse — we're cheaper because we skip the kickback chain.
Why locals book with us
Re-bookings drive most of our growth, not paid ads. That only works if every WhatsApp answer, every pickup and every captain hands you a story worth telling at home.
