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 full yacht rental, the boat is yours for the whole time.
Wide, stable, and built for lounging. Zero seasick wobble.
Four full heads onboard — no waiting, no awkward lines.
Sun when you want it, cover when you don’t. Both ends.
Licensed captain plus crew who speak fluent English and Spanish.
BYOB and bring your food — the crew pours, plates and clears it all.
Ice, water and fruit trays restocked all day, plus real glassware, stocked coolers and fresh towels. Nothing to pack.
Float, paddle, jump, snorkel. Two boards, a lily pad and snorkel gear come standard.
Your playlist, your volume, all day long.
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.

First 15 minutes
Crew meets you at the slip, loads your drinks into the coolers, quick safety brief, and you're off the dock.
Hour 1
Music on, first round poured, shade up front or sun on the nets. The city shrinks behind you.
Hours 2–3
Lily pad out, paddleboards in the water, snorkel gear ready. Fruit trays and cold water keep coming.
Final hour
Last swim, last round, back to the marina on time. Add hours if you want the sunset on the water.
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.
Shot on the boat by our crew and guests — no stock footage, no staging.
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.

We brought our own drinks and food and basically handed the whole lot over at the dock. 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.

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 paddleboards and the shade at the back. No crowd, no schedule, no one rushing us.
