Types of Boats Available

Puerto Vallarta's fleet covers the full spectrum: luxury motor yachts for VIP experiences, catamarans for group events and parties, center console boats for fishing and island hopping, sailing yachts for wind-powered adventures, and smaller pangas for budget-friendly coastal exploration. Whether your group is 2 or 40, there's a boat that fits your needs and budget.

Best Experiences by Boat

A private boat rental unlocks experiences that group tours simply can't match. Visit the Marietas Islands with just your group, anchor at secluded beaches like Majahuitas or Las Animas, cast lines for mahi-mahi and sailfish, or enjoy a sunset cruise with your own music and menu. Privacy means flexibility — your captain adjusts the itinerary to your preferences.

Why Puerto Vallarta for Private Boating

Banderas Bay is one of the largest natural bays in the Americas, offering calm waters, diverse marine life, and over 300 days of sunshine per year. The bay is sheltered by the Sierra Madre mountains, creating ideal conditions for boating year-round. Puerto Vallarta's marina district provides easy embarkation with world-class facilities.
