In some parts of the Dominican Republic, you can not only go on a sailing boat tour but also hire a private boat or yacht. For those who have little or no experience in sailing, it is recommended to rent boats with the team: captain, cook, and crew. This is your opportunity to relax and learn about swimming from professionals, as well as participate in the life of the crew by performing simple tasks. It should be borne in mind that for smooth cruising it's better to choose the southern coast, and for more difficult conditions with waves and trade winds go to the northern coast.
