Wedding in Casa de Campo on a Boat: The Complete Luxury Wedding Guide [2026]

Casa de Campo is a well-known wedding destination in the Dominican Republic. A boat wedding here is a different kind of moment from the ceremonies most guests have already attended — exchanging vows aboard a private yacht along the estate waterfront, or departing by boat as newlyweds.

This guide covers how that comes together: guest capacity by vessel, what’s included, the decoration rule, timing, and what a realistic charter budget looks like for 2026. Departures are from Marina Casa de Campo, in La Romana. If you have already looked at the full range of Casa de Campo charter options, this piece covers the wedding-specific planning on top of that.

Ceremony and Reception Options — What a Casa de Campo Boat Wedding Looks Like

A typical marina or boat wedding at Casa de Campo can take a few different forms:

Ceremony at the marina, reception elsewhere: A short ceremony at Marina Casa de Campo or aboard a vessel, followed by a reception elsewhere — combining the distinctive marina moment with a separate reception arranged by the couple.

Full ceremony and cocktail hour aboard: For smaller weddings, the ceremony, toast, and cocktail hour can all happen aboard a private yacht, with the vessel repositioning along the estate waterfront during the celebration.

Newlywed departure by boat: Many couples add a boat as the ceremonial "getaway" element — departing by private yacht for a sunset cruise as newlyweds.

How Many Guests Can You Fit? The Real Casa de Campo Fleet

Casa de Campo prices charters by vessel, not by person, and capacity ranges from 12 to 30 guests depending on the boat. All departures are from Marina Casa de Campo:

The Fairline 43’ and Azimut 55’ also run a separate 4-hour Isla Catalina tour — a different, shorter product from the full-day charter above — from $1,800 and $2,750. Isla Catalina is about 1 hour 20 minutes from Marina Casa de Campo; Isla Saona is roughly 1.5 hours each way — the Catamaran 60’ is the vessel that combines both islands in a single charter, running 10:00 AM–5:30 PM.

If decoration is part of your plan, it narrows the choice. Decoration is only permitted inside the cabin, and only on a vessel that has one — not on open decks, due to the risk of debris going into the water. Confirm with Nauty 360 which vessel in your selection has a cabin when you book.

For weddings above 20–25 guests, the Catamaran Carbono 65’ is typically the right choice for deck space.

What’s Included — and What You Arrange Yourself

Nauty 360 provides the boat as the venue. The base charter includes:

• The vessel and fuel
• Captain and deckhand
• Snorkel gear
• Round-trip private transportation from your hotel or villa — this covers getting your wedding party and guests to and from the marina, not just the boat itself
• Ice, 20 bottled waters, 12 sodas, and 12 beers

Nauty 360 does not provide wedding services. Decoration, catering, music, photography, and an officiant are arranged by the couple — either with your own vendors, or Nauty 360 can recommend local providers on request. No specific provider is named here, and there is no published price for these services, since Nauty 360 does not broker them.

Decoration — the rule that shapes vessel choice: decoration is only permitted inside the cabin, and only on a vessel that has one. It is not allowed on open decks, due to the risk of debris going into the water. There is time built into the charter before departure to set up decoration; the exact window is coordinated with you when you book.

Guests coming from Punta Cana: the included round-trip transportation covers the trip between your Casa de Campo hotel or villa and the marina, and it also covers guests staying in Punta Cana — pickup is at their Punta Cana hotel, included in the same charter.

Best Time of Year for a Casa de Campo Wedding

December–April is dry season at Casa de Campo — calm seas and minimal rain. May–November is rainier, with afternoon showers more common; a morning or early-afternoon ceremony reduces weather risk during this period.

A late-afternoon ceremony that transitions into a sunset cocktail hour or newlywed departure cruise is a popular format.

How Much Does a Wedding Boat Charter Cost in Casa de Campo?

Charter pricing starts from $1,750 for the smallest vessel and ranges up to $4,500 for the Catamaran 60’ 10:00 AM–5:30 PM Saona and Catalina combo — see the fleet table above for the full spread by vessel and capacity. There is no separate “wedding package” price, since decoration, catering, and other wedding services are arranged by the couple, not by Nauty 360. Check availability for your date to get vessel options and a price based on your guest count.

Reservations

A 33% deposit confirms the booking, and Nauty 360 typically confirms within 2 hours of your inquiry. If decoration is part of your plan, let the team know when you book — there is time before departure to set up, and the vessel needs to be one with a cabin. Guests coming from Punta Cana are picked up at their Punta Cana hotel as part of the same included transportation.

The Newlywed Getaway

A private sunset cruise as a newlywed departure is a popular way to add a boat element to a Casa de Campo wedding, even for couples having their ceremony and reception on land. The couple departs by private yacht along the estate waterfront.

The newlywed departure cruise is simply the closing moment of the wedding day on the water, using the same estate waterfront route as the ceremony charter.
