Admiral Yachts, the superyacht division of The Italian Sea Group, builds steel and aluminium motor yachts with an emphasis on seaworthy hulls and interiors that make full use of each vessel’s volume. Three Admiral yachts operate in Dominican Republic waters through The Yacht Collection, each a substantial cruising yacht well-matched to the scale and variety of this Caribbean destination.
The Dominican Republic is the Caribbean’s largest nation and one of its most varied, with marinas at both Cap Cana and Casa de Campo in La Romana serving as excellent bases for a charter itinerary. From either, the route east to Saona Island and then north around the coast toward the Samana Peninsula covers the most compelling sailing ground the country offers, with clear waters, consistent trade winds and destinations of genuine character.
Charter rates for Admiral yachts in the Dominican Republic range from approximately 60,000 to 150,000 euros per week. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, food, marina fees and port charges. December through April is peak Caribbean season, with the most settled weather and warmest water temperatures.
An Admiral itinerary in the Dominican Republic works well structured around the main marina bases. Begin at Cap Cana or La Romana, then cruise east to Saona Island for snorkelling on the extensive sandbanks before heading north toward Samana Bay. The Samana Peninsula contains the Los Haitises National Park, an extraordinary landscape of mangrove channels and limestone mogotes that can only be explored by small tender from a charter yacht at anchor.
