Located on the north side of the Dominican Republic, Cabarete Bay is home to a wide variety of incredible windsurfing. From one convenient launch, you'll find everything from flat water cruising to down-the-line wave sailing, depending on the season and the time of day. The Vela Cabarete center sits at the upwind end of the bay just steps from the water and features the latest equipment Neil Pryde, JP, and Starboard. Aside from windsurfing, Cabarete's lush tropical setting and colorful local scene attracts sailors from around the world.

 

Fun Beyond Windsurfing

As Eric Sanford of Windsurfing Magazine put it, "Perhaps the best thing about Cabarete is all the other outrageous activities there are- from excellent mtn. biking, to waterfall rappelling and jungle caving, to great surfing...The D.R. gets two thumbs up for a windsurfing vacation spot." Plus there's plenty of, shopping, exploring, or just plain sunbathing. Cabarete has it all.
