We are 30 km east of Puerto Plata airport and located between a freshwater lagoon on a protected bay with outside waves.

In Cabarete you can find everything in walking distance, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, doctor, bars ,shopping and mostly windsurf is done in the bay.

Walking west of Cabarete the kite boarding zone starts and you have around two Km of sand beach till Kitebeach.
Playa Encuentro is around 7 km from Cabarete and the waves break on a reef closed to the beach. Best times for wind sports for sure are Feb till September with June July and August being always windy.

For surfing its somehow good all year with some breaks. October till April is a good time to catch the northern hemisphere winter swells and from June till October there can be lots of good waves spinning of the hurricanes that go up north.

Paddle boarding is getting also lot more popular and Cabarete Bay, Kitebeach and Encuentro offer good till great conditions in the morning.

Marcus Bohm – owner of 321takeoff school and surfer himself about Dominican Republic

What to say,
I came here in summer of 1990.
Came for the wind and stayed for the waves, a beautiful country and special people.
Cabarete town was rediscovered in 80s by french canadian windsurfers. I say rediscovered as i believe for sure the tainos must had liked the fresh water lagoon, the caves and protected bay with waves outside long time ago.

When i arrived there was already 5 or 6 windsurfing centers and still felt like a chill fishing town with windsurfer coming from all over the world.
Since first Windsurf Cup was held, Cabarete became a well-known spot in the water sport world.

In 1991 i founded a project called “Cabarete Kids team” to help and support 6 local kids to go to school and have windsurf gear.
In 1997 i meet French kite boarder Christopher Tasty and Franz Olry and got involved into Kiteboarding.

1999 i got involved in competing in kiteboarding and brought the 1^st Kite world cup to town in 2000. From 2001 on i worked for Eurosport and though a production company established the 1^st kiteboarding world championshiptour. In 2003 the idea came up to organize the Master of the Ocean, a surf , windsurf and kiteboard competiton held yearly since then in Cabarete.
