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 full yacht rental, the boat is yours for the whole time.
47′ Catamaran
Wide, stable, and built for lounging. Zero seasick wobble.
4 Clean Bathrooms
Four full heads onboard — no waiting, no awkward lines.
Front & Back Shade
Sun when you want it, cover when you don’t. Both ends.
Captain & Bilingual Crew
Licensed captain plus crew who speak fluent English and Spanish.
VIP Bartender & Server
BYOB and bring your food — the crew pours, plates and clears it all.
Ice, Glassware & Towels
Ice, water and fruit trays restocked all day, plus real glassware, stocked coolers and fresh towels. Nothing to pack.
Lily Pad & 2 Paddleboards
Float, paddle, jump, snorkel. Two boards, a lily pad and snorkel gear come standard.
Bluetooth Sound System
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
First 15 minutes
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.
Hour 1
Cruise the bay to Los Arcos
Music on, first round poured, shade up front or sun on the nets. The city shrinks behind you.
Hours 2–3
Anchor, swim, snorkel, float
Lily pad out, paddleboards in the water, snorkel gear ready. Fruit trays and cold water keep coming.
Final hour
Slow cruise home
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.
Dates Book Fast
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.
Fair Weather Guarantee
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.
Zero Hidden Fees
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.
Crew Gratuity
Not included and never automatic. If the crew makes your day, tipping is customary and deeply appreciated.
Clips from recent charters
Shot on the boat by our crew and guests — no stock footage, no staging.
