It would be cheaper to charter a plane to Arroyo Barril....That trip would be a tough ride IMO, but I am not a sailor. The winds are from your right, so you are off a lee shore and all that means....then it will be at your back and that will be a nasty bit of up and down...
However, ask our man in the East: Mike Fisher!!

Ferry from Sabana del Mar to Samana

I am not sure if this is the info you are looking for, but from Punta Cana you can take a bus to Higuey, then Hato Mayor and then to Sabana del Mar. From Sabana there is a ferry 4 times a day and it costs about 150 pesos/person. It is a rather inexpensive way to get to Samana, but you have to be prepared for about 3 hours on the bus.

thanks, my sister is visiting and i am taking her to the capital and then punta cana, i thought maybe from there by water would be fun and she could see the countryside.
