Departure port
Bayahibe private boat charters — the closest departure point to Saona and Catalina.
Bayahibe is a former fishing village on the south-east coast and the main gateway to Saona Island and Cotubanamá National Park.
Most Saona and Catalina trips start here because it is the closest port.
Bayahibe itself is a pleasant small town with a beach and restaurants, so it is easy to add a meal before or after your charter. The road transfer from Punta Cana and Bávaro is longer than to the resort beaches, but it is offset by a much shorter boat ride to the islands.
The closest departure for Saona, Palmilla and Catalina — shorter boat rides than from Punta Cana.

Start by deciding what matters most: time on the water, a specific destination, or comfort. For short trips such as snorkeling or sunset, a departure close to your hotel means less time in the car. For island days, the port closest to the island shortens the boat ride and leaves more time at the beach. Group size decides the boat: speedboats suit couples and small groups, catamarans suit families and mid-size groups, and large catamarans or several boats handle big groups.
When you message us, include your hotel or villa in the Bayahibe area, the number of adults and children, and whether you prefer a half or full day. We reply with the boats available from Bayahibe on your date, the final price and the pickup time. Transfers are included where applicable, and the captain confirms the route on the day based on sea conditions.
