6 Things To Expect on Your Punta Cana Booze Cruise
When you have an excuse to throw a party, why not go all out and set sail with friends and family on a party boat of your choosing? The occasion can be something as simple as a birthday party or as big as a life milestone like an engagement. Whatever the case may be, spending that time out on the water can be a nice change of pace from typical celebrations in backyards or bingo halls.
If you want to experience the excitement and fun of a Punta Cana booze cruise, you’re in for a treat! We’re here to help you learn what to expect from your booking. Our goal is to help you plan your event by knowing what the boat includes, what it may not have, and how you can plan accordingly so everyone has a good time.
How Long Will You Spend on the Boat?
The entire party, from start to finish, can last around three hours, allowing everyone to get their fill of the sun, water, activities, and drinks on board. But that’s not to say it’s several hours of unstructured drifting—there’s a list of things to expect while setting sail.
Over the course of three hours, the schedule includes plenty of fun. You can expect snorkeling activities for about an hour, followed by about another hour of relaxing on the water and enjoying the day at your leisure. And lastly, the final hour is for you and your party to relax while the boat makes its way back to shore.
What the exact itinerary looks like can change a little based on your preferences, but rest assured knowing that you’ll have plenty to do.
Can You Jump Off of the Boat and Swim?
Like we mentioned in the last section, there will be some allotted time for everyone to hop off the boat, swim, and stretch their legs a little while out on the water. Boats will stop off at a sandbar so guests can walk around, float, or swim in the natural pool.
Of course, along with these luxuries are a few other amenities to keep you busy and entertained. With this stop is also a floating bar to quench your thirst and keep everyone happily hydrated, whatever their drink of choice may be. This brief stop will last about an hour, giving everyone enough time to get their fill of treading water and floating with a drink in hand.
It’s important to remember that, while the boat is in motion, you and everyone else should keep inside and avoid jumping off. As tempting as the thought may be, it’s just safer to stay on board until the boat comes to a complete stop. But your captain should cover all the safety points before setting off from the coast.
How About Spending Time Under the Water?
Aside from spending time sailing on the party boat and lounging on the sandbar, there’s also the opportunity to go snorkeling under the waves. Again, this isn’t just aimless drifting beneath the water. Rather, a professional crew will take you under and show you some beautiful sights. You’ll get to spot some unique aquatic life native to Punta Cana and have ample time to take it in and appreciate the scenery.
And you don’t have to worry about bringing your own equipment for snorkeling; our boats provide all the necessary gear to get you and your party under the water. Your focus can be solely on enjoying yourselves!
Food? Drinks? What’s the Eating Situation?
Don’t worry—you won’t be without food or drinks while sailing on the water. Besides the floating bar during the stop at the sandbar, there will be an open bar on the boat, along with other drinks and snacks to keep everyone full while exploring.
It wouldn’t be any fun if you had to worry about an empty stomach, so we ensure that everyone has enough to eat. We don’t want your experience dampened by a growling belly!
Where’s the Boat Taking Everyone?
To start the journey, our boats will take off at El Cortecito Beach. After taking off, there will be the aforementioned snorkeling and sandbar activities. On the way back, the boat will dock at Bavaro Beach.
From here, everyone can wind down and relax after the day on the water. There will also be some activities while on the beach, but feel free to take this time just to rest up.
Anything You Need To Bring?
Outside of what our boats provide, there may be a few things that you and your guests should bring along to make the day that much better. To start, make sure you bring your own towels. These are important to keep yourself dry when outside of the water and stay warm when lounging, just until the sun heats you up.
Also, make sure to bring your own cameras—you don’t want to miss snapping a shot of the beautiful water! Capture your experiences to share them with friends and family or post them on social media. Additionally, we recommend investing in a waterproof camera or watertight phone bag for the day. You don’t want to accidentally drop your phone and donate it to the fish.
Finally, the most important thing you must account for is your transportation to and from the coast. Whether you come in your own rental car or hire a taxi, make sure to schedule that for yourself and your party. You’ll also be in charge of ensuring that everyone gets back to their hotels or resorts safe and sound. After a day on the water, everyone will be looking for a comfortable bed to take a well-earned nap on.
Make Sure You Have All That You Need
Knowing what to expect on your Punta Cana booze cruise means being aware of what the boat includes and doesn’t include. For the best experience possible, make sure to come prepared with your own gear to supplement what is already on board.
