A word about the author

Frank Virgintino is a native New Yorker who has spent over twenty years living and cruising in the Dominican Republic. His sailing background of over forty years covers the Canadian Maritimes, all of the eastern seaboard of the United States and the entire Caribbean, many times over. Aside from cruising he has spent the better part of his career building and administering marinas. In the process of writing this guide all of the harbors listed were visited and each and every town noted. All of the information in the guide is a result of personal research and knowledge of the Dominican Republic. None of it was garnered ‘second party’. It is hoped that the guide will make the Dominican Republic easier to access and understand.

The author believes that the guide should serve as an excellent source of information for this vast and beautiful island although it should not be used for navigation at any time. All charts, lat and long positions and inserts exhibited should be used for a frame of reference only. Navigation should be undertaken with the appropriate charts of the area.

I would also like to acknowledge, Sr. Rafael Baez, President of Marina ZarPar in Boca Chica. He provided the budget for the work that went into the guide and the internet site and offset all of the expenses. It is through his generosity that the guide and internet site have been made available at no charge.
