The experience
The catamaran leaves La Romana with your group aboard and heads toward Catalina Island along the coast. Once there, you get snorkeling gear and time in the water to explore the reef, then return to the boat for the parasailing flight: eight minutes aloft, towed behind the yacht. Between the water and the air, a private bartender keeps drinks flowing: Presidente beer, cocktails, fresh juices and snacks throughout the three-hour outing.
Hotel pickup and drop-off from your accommodation means no need to arrange transport to the dock. The boat itself is spacious and built for groups, with music and entertainment woven through the day. A live guide in English or French is there to brief you on the snorkeling spots and walk through the parasailing setup, so you know what to expect before you go up.
Three departure times let you fit this into your schedule: morning (9am–12pm), midday (12pm–3pm) or afternoon (3pm–6pm). The price covers the whole group up to 20 people in a single booking, so the cost per person drops as your party grows. Souvenir photos from the parasailing flight are available to purchase if you want them.
Top questions
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English and French.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
What's the snorkeling like off Catalina Island?
Catalina Island has a reef system where you'll find tropical fish and coral formations in shallow to moderate depths. The catamaran anchors at established snorkeling sites, and the guide will point out what to look for before you enter the water. Snorkeling gear is provided.
How does the parasailing flight work?
You're harnessed and towed behind the parasailing yacht for eight minutes, rising above the water while the boat pulls you. The crew handles the setup and launch. You just need to be comfortable being in the air and over the water. It's part of the same three-hour outing, so you snorkel first, then parasail.
Do I need to arrange my own way to the boat?
Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so the catamaran collects you from your accommodation and returns you there at the end. You don't need a car or need to find the dock on your own.
Can I bring my own snorkeling gear?
Snorkeling equipment is provided as part of the activity. If you prefer to use your own mask or fins, bring them along. The boat supplies the rest.
What's included in the open bar?
Presidente beer, cocktails, fresh juices and snacks are available throughout the three hours. The private bartender is part of your group's service, so drinks are continuous, not rationed.
