Route
How does the day work?
Reef snorkeling and a dolphin enclosure pass lead into the natural pool party on this coastal yacht outing.
- 30 min
1. Punta Cana coast
The crew provides snorkel gear and life jackets at the reef. You can stay aboard if you don't want to swim.
- pass by
2. Dolphin Island
The yacht passes the dolphin enclosure for a view from the deck. You stay aboard for this part of the cruise.
- 60 min
3. Punta Cana natural pool
The boat anchors at the shallow sandbar for a party in the water. Loud music carries on through the stop.
The 4-hour outing includes 30 minutes at the reef and 60 minutes at the natural pool. The dolphin enclosure is a pass from the boat. Transport returns you to your hotel afterward.
Pickup and meeting point
- Collection time: Check the assigned collection time with Blue Marine. The pickup instructions give conflicting lead times, so the boat start isn't your meeting time.
- Hotel meeting: Hotel collection needs arranging before the outing. The pickup details cover resorts including Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana and Ocean El Faro.
- Infant transport: Specialized infant seats are available. Infants must sit on an adult's lap during the boat trip.
Before you book
- Bring your own cake for a birthday aboard. Your decorations are welcome too.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
A birthday or anniversary group of up to 10 fits this yacht if a party is the aim. You can bring a cake and decorations. The natural pool stop has music turned up. It isn't a quiet gathering once you reach the sandbar.
For a larger celebration with waterslides, the Double Slide boat costs from $1,250 per group for up to 15. For a 60-minute snorkeling stop, Happy Fish costs from $989 per boat for up to 14.
Who it's not for
- Groups larger than 10
- Travelers who need a quiet natural pool stop
Good to know
Know before you go
Wheelchair access extends to the transport. Strollers are allowed and infant seats are available, while infants must sit on an adult's lap. Your transport arrangements still need discussion for the people and equipment coming with your group.
Your own cake and decorations are welcome aboard. They aren't a reason to expect a full meal during the party. Snacks are nachos with salsa and fruit, so your group can plan lunch around the chosen departure.
Your exact hotel pickup needs arranging with Blue Marine. The general pickup notes give different lead times, so they don't provide a dependable time for your hotel. Check the collection message before planning when everyone should leave their rooms.
The yacht booking takes no more than 10 guests. The same limit applies to the priced group allowance. Your ticket is mobile only and booking acceptance is instant, but the hotel pickup arrangements are still a separate step.
Life jackets and snorkeling equipment come with the trip. Bad weather can cancel the cruise despite your private reservation. Keep the party plans flexible if the sea outing is the main reason for bringing everyone together that day.
Your cancellation qualifies for a full refund at least 24 hours before departure. Inside that window it doesn't get a refund. That deadline applies even when the boat was booked for a birthday or another group celebration.

People also ask
- What is the price of Blue Marine's private yacht party?
The outing costs from $659 per group for up to 10. You get private transport and the yacht for your own party. Snorkeling gear and drinks are part of the booking, while souvenir photos cost extra if your group decides to buy them.
- Can you bring a birthday cake on the Blue Marine yacht?
Yes, your cake can come on the 4-hour outing. You can bring decorations for the celebration too. The yacht remains a private group booking, so those plans fit around your own party rather than a shared cruise with other paying guests.
- Does Blue Marine include swimming with dolphins at Dolphin Island?
No, the yacht passes the dolphin enclosure without a dolphin swim. The reef snorkeling stop lasts 30 minutes and gives you a separate chance to get in the sea. Dolphin Island is a sightseeing part of the coastal route rather than an animal encounter.
- How long is Blue Marine's Punta Cana natural pool party?
The natural pool stop lasts 60 minutes. Music is played loudly there and the yacht has an open bar for the outing. That part of the day suits a celebration, though your group shouldn't expect a quiet hour at the sandbar.
- When does the Blue Marine yacht leave Punta Cana?
The first daily departure is at 7:30 a.m. Later choices are 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Each follows the same 4-hour outing, so the choice mainly determines when you celebrate and how to fit your hotel meals around the pickup.
