Catamaran or express cruiser?#
They are different boats for different days. The catamaran gives deck space and a slow, stable platform; the 36-foot express cruiser from Yacht Charters & Rentals gives speed, a cabin and a head, which matters with children or a three-hour window. The cruiser’s route is the coastline, a reef snorkelling stop and a stay in the natural pool.
- Per charter
- the price is for the boat and its time slot, not per head.
- Express cruiser
- a fast single-hull motor boat, here 36 feet with one cabin and a head.
- Natural pool
- a shallow sandbank offshore where the boats stop and people stand in waist-deep water.
- Mamajuana
- a Dominican infusion of rum, honey and herbs, served on board by the cruiser’s crew.
What is actually included#
Yacht Charters & Rentals lists captain and crew, fuel, transfer from your hotel or villa, fruit, nachos with pico de gallo, beer, rum, mamajuana, water, lemonades, snorkelling gear and music. Coastline includes snorkelling gear, drinks, snacks and transfer. Neither price is a bare boat hire.
Timing and extensions#
The cruiser runs three fixed slots from Bávaro beach — 9:00 to 12:00, 12:00 to 15:00 and 15:00 to 18:00 — and an extra hour is $100 when the boat is free afterwards. Coastline does not publish fixed slots, so agree the window when you book.
- Whether your group fits: the cruiser takes up to eight.
- What Coastline charges your group: $785 for two to five guests and $885 for six to ten; the home page quotes $600 as a starting price.
- Whether the later slot suits you: the 15:00 to 18:00 departure ends close to sunset.
Important
Both figures are per boat, not per person. For a group of eight the cruiser works out at about $84 a head, and Coastline’s catamaran for ten at about $89 — close to a seat on a shared catamaran, so do the division before assuming a private boat is out of reach.
