After five nights of bashing across the Caribbean Sea from Columbia, coming into Boca Chica, Marina Zar-Par specifically, was heaven.

We were able to easily check into the country right there in the marina, then take hot showers, do laundry and eat delicious food all within a couple of hours.

Friendly staff, spacious docks, pretty setting and Boca Chica is a happy town with a gorgeous beach. What a nice reprive Boca Chica has turned out to be.

It has been a great pleasure to come to the Dominican Republic and to Marina ZarPar in Boca Chica. Their excellent ability and the way they treat you is exceptional. They know how to satisfy each and every sailor. It is an incredible experience to stay in Boca Chica and to be at a marina with such wonderful people who really give you their heart.

Been here two weeks and have had new graphics, welding and some canvas work done. The welding and graphics are a fraction of what they would be in the TCI, Bahamas or the States and the canvas work is similarly priced. The general manger, Wilber Baez, has alot of contacts and can get most things that cruisers need done. There is an excellent restaurant on site and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Zar Par Marina in Boca Chica, DR, provided expert and timely help in repairing mast and sail damage encountered sailing from Key Largo, FL, to Boca Chica on our Gemini cat in the face of strong E and NE winds and waves. Staff was supportive, friendly and skilled and labor prices reasonable. Security there is great, and so is their restaurant.
