The latest news and announcements from 1970
The Caribbean has always been the superyacht hotspot for the winter season, but there is one destination that has remained hidden in plain sight – until now. The Dominican Republic is stepping into the spotlight. With spectacular coastlines, world-class golf and landscapes that stretch from rainforest to mountains, it has all the ingredients of a new luxury frontier. And with its position at the heart of the Caribbean, it puts an entirely new destination within reach of yachts arriving from both North America and Europe.
Ask most people to picture the Caribbean and they'll describe the same scene: white sand, turquoise water, and, these days, a marina full of yachts. Few would mention golf. Yet the Dominican Republic has spent decades quietly building one of the most serious golf pedigrees in the region, and for yacht owners cruising the southeast coast, that reputation is becoming just as good a reason to drop anchor as the water itself.
In the Caribbean, luxury is not defined by where you travel, but by how you arrive. Along the Dominican Republic’s divine coastline, East Coast Charters has become synonymous with privacy and discovery. In these waters, yachting is not merely a passage between destinations, but a journey, where every charter is tailored to the desires of those on board. With curated itineraries that weave together secluded anchorages, cultural encounters, and the tranquility of life at sea, East Coast Charters sets a new benchmark for what it means to explore the Dominican Republic.
The northern coastline of Samaná hides one of the Dominican Republic’s most guarded marvels, a network of limestone caves that serve as a living archive of pre-Columbian history. Disembark into a secluded cove, disturbed only by a select few yachts each year, and visitors are instantly transported to a realm untouched by time. Find yourself deliberately meandering along the water-hewn pathway between towering limestone cliffs, sculpted by centuries of wind and tide. Sunlight filters through in shifting fragments, guiding you toward the concealed mouth of the cave.
In the Dominican Republic, wellness is not confined to a single definition, but spans a spectrum. Nowhere is that spectrum more striking than in the experiences offered by two of the country’s most coveted destinations: the wellness haven at Casa de Campo and the island sanctuary of Cayo Levantado Resort.
Within the constellation of Caribbean retreats, few destinations offer the breadth, discretion, and sheer scale of Casa de Campo. Resting on the southeastern edge of the Dominican Republic, this 7,000-acre private estate is not simply a resort; it is an autonomous world where privacy is paramount and every experience can be shaped around your lifestyle.
