About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Sallicia0 contributionsDON'T BOOK WITH BLUE MARINE PUNTA CANA! NOT FAMILY FRIENDLYDON'T BOOK WITH BLUE MARINE PUNTA CANA! I can't believe the service that me and my group received from Blue Marine Punta Cana! I was in Punta Cana celebrating my retirement from the Cook County Sheriff's Department after 30 years. I had a group of 30 people with me. I thought it would be nice for some of us to go on excursions. I researched and saw your website and thought this would be perfect. I asked my travel agent to book us with the Blue Marine because this looks classy and we would have an enjoyable time. On December 12, 2024 I had a group of 10 go on an excursion through Viator which included a carribean party boat with snorkeling. To get on the charter we had to walk through the water and climb up through the bottom of the boat!!! The first step was at least 3ft high! All we had was 2 ropes to hold on to, 1 guy on the stairs to pull you up and another guy behind you to push you bt your butt up the stairs. That was unacceptable! I have Multiple Sclerosis and this hurt my legs and caused me to have a relapse. The rest of my retirement trip was miserable because of this! There were people in my group in their 60's. Why did we have to board and exit the charter this way? We saw other charters that had ramps! When we exited the charter none of the employees helped us. We had to help each other off. A couple of people fell into the water. What we received on this party boat was music being played singing about bitches, sex and drugs, pure trap music and vulgar dancing, pictures and videos attached. The crew that was running this charter had a guide named Nicky who was drunk and about 8 employees who were no more than 21, with no uniforms and they all were high and drunk. They were smoking from a hookah sitting next to some of my group and walking around drinking from bottles of alcohol. They made this excursion absolutely terrible. Most of us were very uncomfortable. We were sold tickets to receive food on the boat that should have included chicken or steak. The people that ordered steak received their plates with chicken. When they inquired about the steak they were told in a very rude way by the only female in the group that they had no steak. This female employee was also spotted making the "rum punch" with nothing but kool-aid water and sprite..NO RUM. I've had the pleasure of going on many party boat cruises and NONE OF THEM WERE THIS UNPROFESSIONAL! Your website is false advertisement we received absolutely nothing like what your website says you offer and your crew is dangerous. I came to Punta Cana to celebrate and your crew made the rest of my trip miserable by causing me a flare up of my autoimmune disease. DO NOT BOOK A BOAT CRUISE THROUGH BLUE MARINE PUNTA CANA AND VIATOR! I couldn't post videos of vulgar dancing because it's to nasty. Couldn't post video of trap music being played words are not allowed on reviewWritten December 24, 2024
- 244sebley0 contributionsAvoid Avoid!!!!Avoid this place if you don’t want to ruin your birthday party. I hardly know where to begin. 1) The check-in process was chaotic, even though we completed the waiver online. 2) They gave us children's socks for the adults and refused to exchange them. 3) Unlike other parties, they didn’t set up a table for us and told me to do it myself. 4) They refused to bring food for the kids before the cake, so after jumping around, all the kids were hungry and had to celebrate on empty stomachs. 5) When I asked for a knife to cut the cake, they refused and took the cake away, even though I told them we wanted photos with it. As a result, we have no pictures of the cake. 6) Staff kept interrupting our party to enforce their policies, making us feel more like an inconvenience than valued customers. There are a lots of small details which I haven't mentioned but overall it was the worst experience of my life!!! Despite seeing that we were clearly unhappy, no one made any effort to help or improve the situation. It was a complete disaster, and we will never return!Written October 20, 2024
- karmalitas0 contributionsNot worth the hassleThe boat was oversold and very unorganized. From pick up to drop off they had no clue what to do. Not sure why there is stop before the actual tour begins as it seems completely unnecessary. If you’re paying for a service you should get that very service and not be inconvenienced for it. There were over 15 people in my group alone and we made the best of it.Written October 20, 2024
- 703jadac0 contributionsAbsolutely horrible. The boat had broken doors, rusted wood. We didn't receive anything that was advertised.This was the worst experience we had. We didn't get the Catamaran we purchased. The one we got was beat up, nor did we get the food or drinksWritten October 16, 2024
- 754mrj0 contributionsHad a great time!We did and saw alot. We snorkeled, saw dolphins and went to a shallow area to swim with our family. The staff on the boat was great! Nikki Punta Cana was the best host and even let our lil captain drive the boat. I highly recommend doing a boat tour with them. Snacks (chips and salsa, fruit and drinks were provided. Open bar was a plus!Written September 30, 2024
- F7340LBjoellem0 contributionsTHE WORST BOAT PARTY EVERHorrible experience very very sketchy just a bunch of men waiting and watching to see girls twerk only 2 hours in the water it took 3 hours just to get on the boat they claim they give food vip experience they give two shrimps and two pieces of chicken and it was very salty it’s says open bar and they only gave watered down drinks and also pressured us into buying a bottle of Don Julio for 160 dollars and then started giving out shots once we just said okay and stopped us from buying drinks from the people in the floats and then they have people there putting birds and iguanas on you after you clearly said no and force you to pay money for itWritten September 26, 2024
- estefanim8040 contributionsGreat timeWe had a great time! The crew was lively and took care of us the whole time. We loved Nicki, Paula, Alex and Aquaman were great!Written September 26, 2024
- E6153VHtonyam0 contributionsPunta Cana Party BoatI. Am Appalled. We were not informed of the schedule. We were not informed that we would be stopping at a shop. We had little communication on the boat and little food/drink. The music, people and their lack of clothing, and lack of food options were not worth the money. Not to mention our driver ran into another driver on the way. Absolutely not worth the money and it was a waste of our time/money.Written September 17, 2024
- Christine M0 contributionsPunta Cana birthday review!!I would’ve easily given a 5 star review BUT, I feel as though we were taken advantage of- purchased the seafood plate and pi a coladas and didn’t receive any. Also purchased Mamajuana before going on the cruise and was directed to leave it and to pick up upon arrival- store was closed! Don’t allow the bad behavior of others to rub off on your business.Written September 12, 2024
- Brittany B0 contributionsVery basicThis was not at all what was advertised. No food was served but they did offer chicken skewers which were an additional $35đź« the alcohol was disgusting. They only offered a mixed drink which made my head hurt. The music was not giving. Do not waste your timeWritten September 10, 2024
- 556shaylaf0 contributionsDo NOT Do ThisThis is a scam. First lets begin with what they offer for "free' you wont get. We never got an confirmtion email on shuttle pickup times. I had to message them all day the day of our reservation to get an update. We then got on an overly crowded boat (there is nothing simi praivate about it) it was about 50 people crammed into the boat. The boat has no live DJ just someone who doesn't pay attention with a iphone and itunes. Half the ride we yelled for music from said live DJ's cell phone. You do not snorkle they give you used unclean head gear from a bucket and say "jump in" if you decide to jump in your there solo no real "how to", no guide, nothing they also don't have enough life vest for everyone on the boat so lot of people couldn't get in the water. Then they pass out fruit, just know if your sitting upstairs on the boat you won't be offered a thing you won't even know the food that came with purchase is being passed out. They have no signs that the grill is hot (and i mean every part of the grill ) they had us all in a corner to get off the boat and I got a huge burn on my butt to which the staff said "there was nothing there, while the guest all said it was huge and brown" (it was infact s fist size burn I left with) I got nothing but a laugh from the crew for getting burnt. Our boat also ran out of gas so we stayed there for what seemed like hours to get back to land. The cruise was sceduled for 2:30pm we made it back to land minutes before 7pm as we go stranded. They also ran out of food, no open bar, ran out of ice, ran out of toliet paper, force you to remove shoes but the bathroom is so gross you can't walk in without them.Written August 23, 2024
- courtneywX6008VO0 contributionsFALSE ADVERTISEMENTFalse advertisement! No DJ! Not private at all, super crowded and about 60 people. Super congested and not fun. Our boat broke down and we were stuck for about 45 mins. Not everyone had life jackets, just terrible honestly. I don’t recommend.Written August 18, 2024
- I3867LWcristinap0 contributionsSo much funGreat experience, the bartender Maria was amazing and very attentive. Samuel and Yancarlos were also great and made sure we had a great time. I recommend 100%!Written July 19, 2024
- 975aishag0 contributionsNot what I expected!This boat is definitely false advertising. It says snorkeling party boat. The passengers on board had to request music , if not, the dj did not know what to do. No snorkeling gear was provided. You were given a life vest and told you can slide off the boat. They had fruits, burgers, and nachos. No utensils , no plates . People were digging their hands into a big bowl of nachos . No plate for salsa . Just very unsanitary. They provided “open bar”. You had to ask. I was very disappointed. The bartender was not very friendly. Other staff were nice but the boat didn’t give what they advertised.Written July 10, 2024

Was a bit of a misunderstanding right off the bat because my confirmation said the price I booked included fresh seafood. When talking with Dolly the day before about our pick up details, she said she didn't know where this came from and what we booked was basic chips and salsa and fresh fruit. We never saw the chips and salsa and the guy passed around a fresh fruit tray one time.
That being said, we would use this company again because the trip was SO much fun. For some of the couples, the photographer captured them with lots and lots of pictures.
The snorkeling wasn't great because of the current but safety was first and foremost with the guys on the boat.
We went by the dolphin enclosure which saddened us because of the tiny, shallow enclosure for those dolphins. That has nothing to do with Blue Water Marine but it was sad.
The spot where they let us get off the boat and play and kept having drinks at the ready was the most fun part. The boat had a slide off the front and it was awesome.
We got picked up and returned to our hotel. When you get to the place where the boat leaves from, be prepared to go through market with many, many vendors but I got some nice, reasonably priced jewelry.
Our group of 15 would highly recommend this company and many have said it was the highlight of our whole trip to Punta Cana.

Danilo and crew were excellent. Safe, fun and fabulous. We left a little later than expected but got gorgeous sunset pictures. Crew had us dancing and we did all that was promised. One piece of advice is to let the customers settle in for 30 minutes before the photographer starts taking pictures. And the snorkelling is short, which was ok with us but if people want a longer experience this is not it. Otherwise it was wonderful.

The team that facilitated our trip was outstanding! They were very accommodating for both our 8year old and our 75 year old parents for everything including the snorkeling. We were able to select the music and had a great time at the swimming hole enjoying drinks, the slide and some brunch. The photographer was outstanding, she worked very hard the entire trip, was in the water whenever we were and even took video of snorkeling underwater. Really a fun excursionđź‘Ť

DO NOT BOOK. Our bachelorette group booked the party boat excursion 2 months in advance which included open bar, food, & a dj. When we arrived to the beach they told us that the catamaran boat we already paid for was unavailable. After hours of back and forth, they attempted to give us an extremely small boat for a group of 10 with no food or drinks. We requested a refund instead and were denied. We had to dispute with PayPal to get our deposit back. There was no empathy or customer service offered instead, the captain yelled and cursed that he did not care if those “black Americans” were accommodated or not as he had other customers. We lost a whole day of our vacation. Extremely disgusted with the way we were treated. I’ve never experienced such disrespect while traveling. Book with VIPTour Punta Cana instead & save yourself the headache!

I don't recommend. This was a private booking and we just followed much larger party boats to busy locations. This excursion wasn't worth the $450. When booking I asked for a quiet, relaxing day and was promised that. We started at a small crowded reef, it was then I learned the boat had no fins to use for the snorkel. We did our best to enjoy the time in the water, despite snorkeling without fins. When we returned to the boat it had no ladder to get back on. A crew member pulled us up by our arms, I now have bruises on my legs from that. The next stop was busy shallow area with many large boats, what seemed like 100s of people, music blaring from other boats. Just not what I had asked for when booking. Both destinations were five minutes from where we boarded the boat, no real effort to take us away from the crowds, explore and not the private experience I thought I was booking. The crew was very nice, the boat lacked basic equipment.

The boat was ok . It felt like we didn’t actually travel very far . The crew were lovely. But biggest issue was they forgot the booze !!! It was sold as unlimited bar . But it was very limited !!! We waited 2 hours for our first drink . I have since went on another boat trip which was much much better in every way .

What a fun day! Had an absolute blast with our group of 18. Plenty of room for our group. Lunch was great. Drank a lot of the rum punch and Presidentes. Make sure if you go to have them take you to several spots but our favorite was a deserted beach away from everyone else! Awesome time with some great staff!!

We went as a group of six on a catamaran excursion with blue Marine. The boat was a bit old and needed some work. But the experience was fantastic! We enjoyed our crew and especially our photographer,Fely, who was fun, friendly, and took excellent pictures! The snorkeling was beautiful but our favorite part was when the boat stopped and waist-high water and my daughters rode Big Mable pulled behind a fast boat and we got pictures with parrots. We hung out with numerous other boats and drank and had fun. Another highlight with the excellent seafood lunch!! It was a great afternoon…

I’m trying to book a party boat - Private group. The problem is I have 16 people. With maybe 1 more. Total of 17. Should I search for a different party boat for my trip? I’m arriving in August for my 50th birthday
