Great!
Everyone was great and so nice! It is definitely a party boat. But they also get you to jump in the water at two spots.
via Viator
Highly recommended!
This tour is highly recommended! The guides were kind, understanding, knowledgeable, and had great English. We went snorkeling at two different locations, and saw beautiful colorful fish and a natural coral reef. It was amazing... just like in pictures and videos! There was also party music and dancing on board during and after the BBQ lunch. Fresh meat was grilled up right on the boat, making this a really fun half day excursion. If you have a tendency to seasickness as I do, take Dramamine /Gravol BEFORE you get on the boat! Unfortunately I forgot, so I did get seasick. The excursion staff were extremely kind and understanding, and when I still didn't feel better after 30 minutes, they arranged a speedboat to take me back to shore. I sat on the beach under an umbrella to recover while the rest of my family enjoyed the excursion!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. Very appreciated

When we entered the boat...
When we entered the boat there wasn’t many of us onboard. The boat left and circled around me came back to shore and picked up more as well as more at sea. The staff were good and fun as well as the BBQ served (very good) 2 stops were very nice and the water was so nice and clean.
via Viator
Super fun experience....
Super fun experience. Tons of fish around, good food and music. Great guides made it a blast! Definitely don’t want to miss it if you’re in puerto plata!
via Viator
Awesome time on the party boat
Don't come on this adventure if you don't like to drink and party because your glass will never be empty and the tunes won't stop. Nah but seriously its fun if you don't like to do that either. Took us to two spots for some snorkeling. The BBQ on board was legit from ribs to chicken wings. Would do it again!!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Catamaran Party Cruise with Snorkeling & BBQ: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Plata.
How much does Catamaran Party Cruise with Snorkeling & BBQ cost?
+
Prices start at $84 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Plata usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Catamaran Party Cruise with Snorkeling & BBQ take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Plata is not rushed.
Is Catamaran Party Cruise with Snorkeling & BBQ worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 56 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Plata, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Catamaran Party Cruise with Snorkeling & BBQ?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Catamaran Party Cruise with Snorkeling & BBQ suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Catamaran Party Cruise with Snorkeling & BBQ?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Plata can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Plata and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Catamaran Party Cruise with Snorkeling & BBQ start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Plata within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puerto Plata?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Plata experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Monkeyland and Zipline Adventure from Puerto Plata, Monkeyland Puerto Plata, Puerto Plata Highlights City Tours from amber cove and Taino bay. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Plata?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Plata?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
