Puerto Vallarta Boat Rental Your Ultimate Luxury Yacht Day in Puerto Vallarta
Step aboard our 2018 Lagoon 450 — a true luxury catamaran. Snacks and soft drinks are on us; bring your own alcohol and our crew handles the rest.
4,250 MXN (about $250 USD) per extra hour
A 20% deposit (5,100 MXN (about $300 USD)) locks the date. Balance in cash at boarding. IVA and marina fees included — the price you see is the price you pay.
Takes ~30 seconds · No card required to request your date
Your own private boat — no crowds, no schedule, no strangers.
Skip the packed party cruises. It's your group, your playlist on the Bluetooth speakers, and open water. Cruise past Los Arcos, drop anchor at Majahuitas, swim in water so clear you can count the fish, and let the crew keep the trays full. Up to 15 guests. Whether you call it a private boat day or a luxury yacht rental, the boat is yours for the whole time.
A 2018 luxury catamaran — wide, stable and built for lounging. Zero seasick wobble.
Three full heads onboard — no waiting, no awkward lines.
Shade, Seating & Lounging
Sun when you want it, cover when you don't. Generous indoor and outdoor seating at both ends.
Captain & Bilingual Crew
Licensed captain plus crew who speak fluent English and Spanish.
VIP Bartender & Server
Bring your own alcohol — the crew pours, plates and clears it all, all day long.
Snacks & Drinks Included
Ceviche, a fruit plate, guacamole with chips and salsa, and ham and tuna sandwiches — plus water, soft drinks, ice, real glassware and fresh towels. Aboard before you arrive.
Lily Pad & 2 Kayaks
Float, paddle, jump, snorkel. Two kayaks, a lily pad and snorkel gear come standard.
Your playlist, your volume, all day long.

A private boat costs less than the party boat everyone else is on.
Split 15 ways, the whole catamaran works out to less per head than a ticket on a crowded group cruise — except nobody else is aboard, the schedule is yours, and the crew works for your group alone.

Four hours, start to finish
Board at Marina Vallarta
Crew meets you at the slip, loads your drinks into the coolers, quick safety brief, and you're off the dock.
Cruise the bay to Los Arcos
Music on, first round poured, shade up front or sun on the nets. The city shrinks behind you.
Anchor, swim, snorkel, float
Lily pad out, kayaks in the water, snorkel gear ready. Ceviche, fruit and cold drinks keep coming.
Last swim, last round, back to the marina on time. Add hours if you want the sunset on the water.
Humpback whale season in Banderas Bay
Every winter humpbacks migrate into the bay to breed and calve, and they are regularly visible from the deck — breaching, tail-slapping, sometimes surfacing close enough that the whole boat goes quiet. Our captain knows where they tend to gather and will take you there.
Whales are wild animals, so we never guarantee a sighting — but December through March, most charters see them. Winter dates are also our busiest, so book early.
Weekends and holidays strictly book out weeks in advance. We run one boat — when a date is gone, it’s gone. Requesting a date costs nothing and holds your 25% promo rate while we confirm.
If the port closes or a storm rolls in, you get a full refund or a free reschedule — your call. Light rain in Vallarta is normal and we still sail.
IVA and the marina fee are already included in every price on this page. A 20% deposit holds the date, the balance is paid in cash (MXN) at boarding. No dock fees, no fuel surcharge, no surprise “taxes” at the marina.
Not included and never automatic. If the crew makes your day, tipping is customary and deeply appreciated.

What guests say after their day out
Booking took one WhatsApp message and they came back the same afternoon with the date held. The crew had snorkel gear out before we'd finished anchoring at Majahuitas, and the water there is clearer than anything we saw from shore all week. Our kids did not want to get back on the boat.
Family of 8 · Los Arcos
We brought a couple of bottles and that was all we needed — the snacks were already aboard. The bartender kept the trays coming and cleared everything without anyone asking. Fourteen of us and nobody queued for a drink once — try that on a party cruise.
Bachelorette · 14 guests
We priced three other yacht rentals in Vallarta and this was the only one where the entire boat was ours for less than a per-seat ticket somewhere else. Spent the afternoon swapping between the kayaks and the shade at the back. No crowd, no schedule, no one rushing us.

Questions
Can we bring our own drinks and food?
Snacks are already included — ceviche, a fruit plate, guacamole with chips and salsa, and ham and tuna sandwiches, plus water and soft drinks. It is a generous spread rather than a full meal, so bring anything else you want to eat, and your own alcohol; the bartender and server handle the pouring, plating and cleanup.
Where do we meet the boat?
Marina Vallarta. Once your date is confirmed we send the exact dock and slip number plus a pin on WhatsApp. Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your start time so you leave on the clock.
Is it kid-friendly?
Very. The Lagoon 450 is wide and stable, there are three bathrooms, shaded seating front and back, and life jackets in child sizes. Families with young kids are some of our happiest guests.
How does reserve now, pay later work?
You send a request with your preferred date — no card, no charge. We check the calendar and confirm on WhatsApp within 2 hours. Only then do you pay the 20% deposit to lock it in; the balance is paid at boarding.
What if the weather turns?
If the port closes or a real storm is forecast, you choose a full refund or a free reschedule. Light passing rain is normal in Vallarta and the charter still runs — the shade covers keep everyone dry.
How many people can come?
Up to 15 guests, and the price is the same whether you bring 4 or 15. Larger groups should message us — we can sometimes arrange a second vessel.
How do we pay, and is IVA included?
Every price on this page already includes IVA and the 120 MXN per-person marina fee — there is nothing added later. The balance is paid in cash, in Mexican pesos, when you board. There are ATMs at Marina Vallarta if you need them, and we will walk you through the deposit on WhatsApp once your date is confirmed.
Will we see whales?
From roughly December through March, humpback whales migrate into Banderas Bay and most winter charters spot them. They are wild animals so we never promise a sighting, but our captain knows where they gather and will take you that way. Winter dates book out earliest for exactly this reason.
What is provided, and what should we bring?
Onboard already: snacks (ceviche, fruit, guacamole with chips and salsa, ham and tuna sandwiches), water and soft drinks, glassware and cups, stocked coolers, towels, snorkel gear, two kayaks, a lily pad and ice. Bring your own alcohol, any bigger meal you want, sunscreen, a hat and a swimsuit.
Will we get seasick?
Very unlikely. A 45′ Lagoon 450 sits on two hulls, so it stays flat instead of rolling the way a single-hull boat does, and Banderas Bay is sheltered. Guests who normally avoid boats are usually fine on this one.
