Saona Island is beautiful, but the way you visit it matters. A crowded boat following a fixed itinerary offers a very different experience from arriving with your own crew, choosing where to stop and deciding how to spend your day.
For guests staying at Eden Roc Cap Cana, The St. Regis Cap Cana, Sanctuary Cap Cana or one of the area’s private villas, La Dichosa offers something increasingly valuable: privacy, freedom and genuinely personal service.
Why La Dichosa
La Dichosa is El Tour Caribe’s spacious, two-level motor catamaran for private groups of up to 30 guests. With generous shaded areas, an onboard washroom and plenty of room to relax, she is ideal for couples, families, friends and multigenerational groups.
Most importantly, there are no passengers outside your group.
Your captain, private guide, bartender and onboard chef are dedicated exclusively to you. Our crew knows when to be attentive, when to anticipate what you need and when to step back and let you enjoy the moment privately.
A Day Designed Around You
El Tour Caribe has specialized exclusively in private sea experiences from Bayahibe since 2012. Over the years, Edwar and I have learned that our most discerning guests are rarely looking for the most expensive boat. They want personal attention, flexibility and a team they can trust.
One family may want to snorkel with the children and spend more time on a quiet beach. Another group may prefer cocktails and personalized music at Starfish Cay. Some guests want to visit Mano Juan, while others simply want to reach a beautiful part of Saona before it becomes busy.
Certified divers, first-time divers and non-divers can even share the same private day.
For us, customization is not choosing from a list of standard packages. It begins by listening to how you imagine your day.
From Cap Cana to the Caribbean Sea
Your experience begins with private, air-conditioned transportation from your Cap Cana or Punta Cana hotel or villa to Bayahibe.
We operate from Bayahibe because it provides direct access to Saona Island, Cotubanamá National Park and the calmer waters of the Caribbean Sea. The journey may take a little longer than reaching a marina closer to your resort, but where you spend your day on the water makes the difference.
A full-day charter aboard La Dichosa includes a professional private crew, onboard chef, freshly prepared lunch, premium open bar, snacks, snorkeling equipment and National Park entrance fees. Private scuba diving, celebrations and other special details may also be incorporated.
Everything is arranged for one group: yours.
Our Definition of Luxury
We do not believe every guest needs the largest or most expensive yacht.
We believe the right boat is the one that gives you the space, service and freedom to enjoy the Caribbean exactly as you imagined it. For many of our guests, that boat is La Dichosa.
One private boat. One dedicated crew. One unforgettable day designed entirely around you.
