Isla Catalina is home to one of the finest snorkeling reefs in the entire Caribbean — The Aquarium, where sea turtles, southern stingrays, and eagle rays glide through crystal-clear water just metres below the surface. The private charter takes this already-spectacular day and makes it exclusively yours.

No other passengers. No fixed itinerary. Your dedicated crew takes you and your group at your own pace — spending longer at the reef, stopping wherever you want, and relaxing on the island until you're ready to head back. The open bar is always flowing and the traditional Dominican beach lunch comes as standard.

Perfect for family holidays, anniversary trips, company outings, or any group that wants the best of Isla Catalina without the crowds. The more people you bring, the lower the per-person cost becomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between group and private?
The group tour shares the boat with other travellers on a fixed schedule. The private charter is exclusively your group — your own boat, your own schedule, and a fully personalised experience throughout.
Is the snorkeling really that good?
The Aquarium reef off Isla Catalina is widely regarded as one of the best snorkel spots in the Caribbean. Sea turtles and rays are regularly spotted. With a private guide focused solely on your group, you get the most out of the experience.
Can we choose our departure time?
Yes — private charters offer flexible timing. We'll schedule the departure that best suits your group, subject to availability.
Is hotel pickup included?
Yes — we collect your entire group from your hotel and drop you back at the end of the day.
