Dominican Republic – A yachtsman’s paradise

The Dominican Republic is a yachtsman’s paradise, with a huge coastline and first-class marinas where they can moor up. Yachtsmen visiting the Dominican Republic can spend their days exploring numerous bays and beaches where sailors can drop anchor and laze in the sun or explore ashore.

The Dominican Republic has one of the most expansive coastlines in the Caribbean with more than 800 miles of diverse ecological environments ranging from desert to tropical rainforest. Regardless of where yachtsmen choose to drop anchor, grand mountain backdrops, white sand beaches and turquoise blue waters are sure to meet them.

At present time, the Dominican Republic is able to dock yachts to 250 feet in length overall (LOA). In fact, Cap Cana Harbour and Marina will be the largest world-class mega-yacht marina in the Caribbean with capabilities of hosting over 500 yachts.

To illustrate the exceptional sailing facilities available in the Dominican Republic, the Casa de Campo Marina was chosen to host the Rolex Farr 40 World Championship, which is being staged from 21 - 24 April.

Over the next two years, the Dominican Republic is planning to more than doubling the number of full-service marinas, some with unique features never before available in the Caribbean. These additions are more than new places to dock ship. Several of these marinas are being opened in parts of the country that never before could service large vessels.
