The catamaran slips out of Sosúa Bay with laughter and a steady thrum from the engines, the north-coast breeze pushing guests onto the aft deck where drinks and salt-slick hair wait. Sunlight skitters across the water; the boat slows and the crew drops anchor over a coral garden. Masks on, you kick into clear blue that gives up parrotfish, wrasse and the slow confidence of a passing sea turtle.

Morning departure for calmer seas
Book early departures when winds are lighter and visibility for snorkeling is usually better.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect coral by applying reef-safe, biodegradable sunscreen before boarding; reapply sparingly after snorkeling.
Manage seasickness proactively
If you’re sensitive to motion, take antiemetic medication an hour before departure and sit near the center of the boat.
Secure belongings and use waterproof storage
Bring a small dry bag or zip pouch for phone, cash, and sunscreen—waves and dancing can displace loose items.

Comfortable swimwear and a quick-dry towel are needed for snorkeling and lounging on deck.
