Then head to Saona, for a laid-back stop on one of its wild and remote beaches, lined with majestic coconut palms. Far from the crowds, you can swim in the turquoise lagoons, relax on the soft sand, or simply enjoy the stunning natural surroundings of this Caribbean island.
Back on board, it’s time to indulge in a refined lunch served on the boat: barbecued meats, fresh side dishes, tropical fruits, refreshing drinks… A quality meal at sea, in a chic and friendly atmosphere.
To end the day, you’ll sail to the famous Natural Pool of Las Palmillas, a sandbar in the middle of the sea with shallow and crystal-clear waters.
