Punta Cana : Profile

Location

Punta Cana is on the extreme eastern tip of the island. It is a popular tourist resort and is well known for both its beaches and golf courses.

Position 18°29.9’N, 68°21.9’W.

Clearance

On arrival visiting yachts must clear with Immigration. The marina is the easiest place in which to complete all the paperwork.

Latest report indicates that you will still be boarded by 7 or 8 officials and that it is advisable to get the marina to arrange for the departure visit (by the same 7 or 8 officials!) at least an hour earlier than your actual departure time.

The agricultral fee is still being charged ($20).
