03On the water
What to do on Banderas Bay
Banderas Bay is one of the largest bays in Mexico, shared by the states of Jalisco and Nayarit. A private charter lets you set the pace of the day.
- Snorkeling and south-shore beaches: Los Arcos off Mismaloya, and beaches such as Las Ánimas or Yelapa that are reached by sea.
- Sunsets: late-afternoon departures to watch the sun go down over the Pacific.
- Humpback whales: in season, roughly December to March.
- Celebrations: birthdays, proposals, weddings and company events on board.
04Departure points

Most of the fleet departs from here. It is the most convenient option if you are staying in the Hotel Zone, Downtown or the Romantic Zone.
Nuevo Vallarta
North of the Ameca River, on the Nayarit side: handy if you are staying in Nuevo Vallarta or Flamingos.
La Cruz de Huanacaxtle
Marina Riviera Nayarit, on the northern side of the bay, between Bucerías and Punta de Mita.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How many people fit on a yacht in Puerto Vallarta?
It depends on the vessel. The fleet ranges from a sport cruiser for 5 guests to event catamarans for 200. In the full fleet you can filter by group size.
What does a yacht charter include?
Every vessel includes a captain and crew, fuel and snorkeling gear. Drinks, food and water toys vary by yacht; each listing gives the details and we confirm them in writing.
Where do the yachts depart from?
From Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, and from Nuevo Vallarta and La Cruz de Huanacaxtle in Nayarit. The exact boarding point is confirmed with your booking.
How much does it cost to charter a yacht?
Rates depend on the date, the vessel, the charter length and the size of your group, so we quote each charter individually. Request a quote with no obligation.
