There are no marinas of the sort you mean on the north coast. Samana and Luperon are good harbors, but you must anchor.
There is a pier that you can tie stern-to in Puerto Plata, but it isn't recommended. It is a dirty, commercial harbor and security is a problem.
I believe there are some marina facilities on the south coast, but don't have personal knowledge of them.
I have a sail boat on a mooring in Samana harbor. It has been anchored or moored there since 1986. There are no rental moorings, but you can put down a mooring if planning on an extended stay. I can give you some suggestions if you are interested in this option.
Currently Luperon is the most popular north coast harbor for transient cruising boats. It is probably the best hurricane harbor on the north coast. You could probably put down a mooring if planning on an extended stay. But the transient boats are anchored. There is a small yacht club there but its small dock is filled with a few permanent boats.
Eventually there may be marinas on north coast. One has been proposed for Samana. But at present, you must anchor.

Suggest you contact directly two marinas in the East that cater to upscale sailboats. They are the Punta Cana Marina and the Casa de Campo Marina. Their web sites are:
