Description
Escape the ordinary and immerse yourself in the unparalleled marine spectacle of Samaná Bay with a private yacht charter. From the moment you step aboard your private, comfortable vessel, you and your chosen companions will be treated to a full day of pristine Caribbean beauty and wildlife wonder, accompanied by a dedicated, certified private guide.
The centerpiece of this spectacular journey is an up-close, respectful encounter with the majestic humpback whales. Every winter, from mid-January to late March, thousands of these gentle giants journey to the warm, protected waters of Samaná Bay for their crucial mating and calving season.
Navigate the marine sanctuary with optimal flexibility, maximizing your opportunities for an unforgettable and personal sighting of their breathtaking displays—breaching, tail-slapping, and the tender interactions between mothers and their calves. Your required entry fee to the Marine Mammal Sanctuary is already handled seamlessly as part of this exclusive booking.
Following the thrilling encounter with the world's largest mammals, your private journey continues to the jewel of the Caribbean: Cayo Levantado, globally recognized as Bacardí Island. This small, idyllic haven boasts powdery white sand beaches, gracefully swaying coconut palms, and invigorating, crystal-clear turquoise waters.
As a private guest, enjoy a relaxed, unhurried visit to this stunning island paradise. A delectable Dominican-style buffet feast, featuring fresh, authentic local ingredients, will be served on the beach. Additionally, a complimentary open bar service is included throughout the entire charter, offering a selection of refreshing soft drinks, chilled water, and local spirits like authentic Dominican rum.
Spend the afternoon swimming, unwinding in the sun, or exploring the island’s picturesque corners before embarking on a smooth return voyage. This comprehensive, personalized, eight-hour charter flawlessly combines the awe of nature with the comfort and prestige of an exclusive, fully supported service.
