About Puerto Vallarta

Banderas Bay is one of the largest bays in the Americas, and that scale is what makes Puerto Vallarta a charter destination rather than a town with boats in it. Inside a single day you can be snorkelling the granite arches at Los Arcos, anchored off a village with no road to it, and watching humpbacks breach in open water, without ever crossing the same stretch twice. The water is warm, which is not true of most of the Pacific coast, and the bay is sheltered enough that a twelve-guest cruiser has a comfortable day when the open ocean would not. Our fleet here runs from a 47ft sailing catamaran up to a 122ft Hatteras, and one boat takes fifty guests, which is the largest capacity we list anywhere.

Yelapa and Quimixto

Villages on the southern shore reachable only by boat, which is exactly the point. Yelapa has a waterfall walk and beach palapas; Quimixto is quieter still. A lunch stop here is what separates a charter day from a harbour cruise.

The Marietas Islands

An hour across the bay at the northern side. The hidden beach inside a collapsed crater is the famous image and access is capped and permit-controlled, so it needs arranging ahead rather than deciding on the morning. The snorkelling around the outside is excellent regardless.

Best Time to Visit Puerto Vallarta

December through April is the dry season and the peak: warm, clear, and the window when humpbacks are in the bay to calve, roughly December to March. That is the single best reason to come, and it books earliest. May and November are shoulder months with good water and softer rates. June through October is the rainy season and the hurricane window; mornings are often fine and the storms arrive late in the day, so charters still run, but the forecast governs and September is the month most likely to lose a day.

How big a group can you take?

Up to 50 on one boat, which is the largest single-vessel capacity in our catalog. The fleet also covers 12, 16, 22 and 25, so a group does not have to split or oversize. Tell us the real headcount including children, because day capacity and overnight capacity are different certificates.

What happens in the rainy season?

June through October, storms usually build late in the day, so morning charters run normally most of the time. Rates are materially lower. The trade is that September carries the highest chance of losing a day outright, and that call belongs to the captain rather than the calendar.
