❤️️ Brand New Luxurious Catamaran for Charter in Puerto Vallarta
This was a great experience for our group of 16! We loved how open the boat was for socializing, and the cool slide on the back. The crew was perfect, always bringing us drinks, food, and even having fun with the group! We went to Los Arcos for snorkeling and then to a nearby beach for more water activities. I highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to have a great boat day in PVR!

This was an awesome boat day!! We went as a group of 6 girls while on a bachelorette trip. The boat was very nice and spacious. Paco and Dany were awesome captains! I highly recommend booking with them!! Also, Candy was extremely helpful with booking and quickly responded to my questions. Dany and Paco picked us up from Marina Vallarta and brought us to snorckle at Los Arcos and then to a beach club. They were great captains! Although some of us were hungover, we still had a great time!

French Design Lagoon 43 Power Catamaran in Puerto Vallarta
Hands down the best customer service I have experienced! Hugo and his crew accommodated us at a very last minute booking after our original plans fell through. He was very communicative the entire time and fully explained all additional costs associated with us ordering extra food. The boat was very clean and modern and well worth the cost paid. All of the crew members went far and beyond our expectations and treated us with kindness and hospitality. They also provided us with safety talks and we could tell our safety was very important to them. The only downside to the trip was we didn’t get as much as time in the water as we liked but it’s only because we had a booking time to uphold. It didn’t ruin anything at all but next time I will add another hour to our booking. Definitely book them for your next outing in Puerto Vallarta!!!!

❤️ 🏖️ Top-rated Spacious 50ft Yacht with Flybridge in Puerto Vallarta
We have booked this boat the past three years with our adult children. I plan to book again this year for a fourth tour. The staff are amazing and the boat is so roomy and comfortable. I highly recommend. We absolutely loved it!

Exclusive Sea Ray Express Cruiser Yacht
Absolutely wonderful Saturday spent on the water and visiting various private beaches and coves. The crew took great care of us - from making our drinks, taking us to great locations, and sharing their fun water toys with us (big floating mat, snorkeling gear, and paddle board). We'd absolutely book again!
