    What you'll see and do

    1. Cumayasa

      We start Sailing in the Cumayasa Harbor. This is located on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic, near the mouth of the Cumayasa River. It is a small, quiet harbor mainly used for local trade, but you can also find sailing yachts and catamarans here. The surrounding mangroves provide natural protection from storms, making it a calm and sheltered spot.

      30 minutes here

    2. Isla Catalina La Romana

      Sailing from Cumayasa River to Catalina Island.

      Pass by without stopping

    3. Catalina Island

      When we arrive in front of Catalina Island, we drop anchor. Here you can swim and snorkel in the clear Caribbean waters. During this time, the skipper prepares a fresh, delicious meal on board with great care and love. Wine and beer are also available on board, so you won’t miss a thing. We anchor very close to the beach, so you can swim ashore and explore the island on foot. After we enjoy our meal, we set the sails and return to the harbor, sailing only with the wind for a relaxed journey back. The return sail takes about 2 hours, depending on wind and sea conditions. You’re welcome to join in, help set the sails, and even learn how to steer a sailing yacht if you like.

      120 minutes here

    4. Cumayasa

      After we arrive back at the harbor, you’ll disembark feeling relaxed and refreshed, and we will take you back to your hotel or the Meeting Point in La Romana.

    An experience we would never forget

    This was an amazing charter. They were very informative and helpful. We had such a great time and the beach on the Catalina island was an awesome experience as well. Would recommend 100 percent.

    Response from the operator: I was very surprised that you are such good swimmers and made it to the beach—that was great. That's why you were so hungry. Hope to see you soon!

    Amazing Trip to Isla Catalina!

    We booked a private boat tour, and the snorkelling turned out to be the highlight — clear waters and plenty of sea life made it truly memorable. The crew was wonderful: friendly, helpful, and always making sure we felt safe and supported. The food on board was also amazing and far exceeded our expectations. To top it all off, the sunset was absolutely stunning and made the experience even more special. This activity ended up being one of the standout moments of our holiday. If you’re heading to Isla Catalina, we’d definitely suggest adding it to your plans!

    Response from the operator: Thanks you see you next year my friend !

    Highly recommended

    With the tour we did everything right! From the first minute to the last we felt like VIPs 😅 In the morning we were picked up and brought back in the evening. In a lobster! Megatoll! The skipper was super sweet and made everything so perfect. Also the food on board was really great. We could snorkel, laze and had no time stress at all. We have been to a dream beach. The water was nicer than on any postcard. It's beautiful. Absolutely recommended - we certainly never forget this day. 😍☀️

    Response from the operator: Vielen Dank !

    Private Sailing Tour to Isla Catalina with Dominican Lunch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Romana.

    How much does Private Sailing Tour to Isla Catalina with Dominican Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $890 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Romana usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Sailing Tour to Isla Catalina with Dominican Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 La Romana is not rushed.

    Is Private Sailing Tour to Isla Catalina with Dominican Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Romana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Sailing Tour to Isla Catalina with Dominican Lunch?

    +

    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 Private Sailing Tour to Isla Catalina with Dominican Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Sailing Tour to Isla Catalina with Dominican Lunch?

    +

    Around 1 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 La Romana 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 La Romana and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Sailing Tour to Isla Catalina with Dominican Lunch 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 La Romana 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 La Romana?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Romana experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small Group: Saona Island Full Day Tour, Hip hop boat party punta cana live Dj & OPEN BAR soca dancehall, Saona Island small group and relax - luxury catamaran. 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 La Romana?

    +

    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 La Romana?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Private Sailing Tour to Isla Catalina with Dominican Lunch?

    +

    Included: Carbonated beverages; Snacks; Alcoholic beverages; Use of snorkeling equipment; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Sailing Tour to Isla Catalina with Dominican Lunch include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 9 listed pickup locations in and around La Romana. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Sailing Tour to Isla Catalina with Dominican Lunch offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Sailing Tour to Isla Catalina with Dominican Lunch?

    +

    Is Private Sailing Tour to Isla Catalina with Dominican Lunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?
