Dominican Republic Ferries and Boats

Ferry service provides limited service to areas in the Dominican Republic

Crossing The Gap

While many will choose to fly and drive throughout the Caribbean, some will find it more convenient to take a ferry or boat to get from island to island, or to expedite their travel around a particular island.

Boat and ferry service within the Dominican Republic is limited, however visitors in Samaná or Sabana del Mar will be happy to know that a daily ferry service runs between the two locations. Those looking to explore national parks and islands off of the coast of the Dominican Republic will be able to secure boat and ferry service to locations such as Saona Island, off the southeastern coast of the island, for $40(USD) to $100(USD). 

International travel is also available between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico aboard Ferries del Caribe.  This trip will last approximately 12 hours, and cost anywhere between $114(USD) and $250(USD), plus additional costs for meal plans if you choose to purchase one. 

Ferries and boats, while certainly not the most popular form of travel in the Dominican Republic, and rarely formally arranged, are available to those who need their services in certain areas.
