Saona Island is one of the most well-known coastal destinations in the Dominican Republic. It is located off the southeastern coast, within Cotubanamá National Park, and is known for its long beaches, clear turquoise water, coconut palms, and quiet Caribbean scenery.
A private boat to Saona gives you a more relaxed way to experience the island. The day usually includes cruising along the coast, stopping at the Palmilla natural pool, spending time on or near Saona Island, swimming, relaxing on board, and enjoying the sea without following the rhythm of a large group tour.
With Cap Cana Charters, the experience is organized according to your group, the boat selected, the sea conditions, and the route available on the day.
Why Choose a Private
Saona Island Tour?
A private Saona tour is mainly about having more space, flexibility, and privacy during the day. Instead of sharing the boat with a large group, the boat is reserved for your party.
This means the experience can move at a more comfortable pace. You can spend more time in the water, relax on board, enjoy a quieter lunch, or simply take in the views without feeling rushed.
It works well for couples, families, groups of friends, or anyone who prefers a calmer and more personal way to visit Saona.
What the Experience Usually Includes

Depending on the selected route and conditions, you will spend time near Saona Island, with access to beach areas, clear water, and coastal views.
Time to Swim and Relax
The tour usually includes time for swimming, snorkeling, floating, or simply staying on board and enjoying the surroundings.
