The 15 Best Sailing Trips in Puerto Vallarta

45 tours  ·  from $84 a head

A catamaran buys you shade, a swim ladder and a flat deck; a monohull buys you the engine going off. These 15 sailing days are compared on group size, how long they actually spend under canvas and what lunch looks like.

Review of Puerto Vallarta's 5-hour luxury yacht and snorkel cruise to Majahuitas, with lunch, paddleboards, premium drinks, and practical tips.

“We had a great time on this adventure! My wife and I got there about 30 minutes early, paid our 40 pesos (per person) fee and headed to Vallarta Adventures. It’s a little messy getting into the port, but once in, the crew is fabulous. We sailed for about an hour to go snorkel, then headed to a private beach that serves hibiscus water and beer, and headed back to port while eating a charcuterie lunch and consumed adult beverages. They take great pictures of you the whole trip and you can buy the digital package for $100 US at the end (totally worth it.) All in all, a great…”

Review of Puerto Vallarta’s all-inclusive catamaran to Quimixto, with a remote beach club, waterfall hike, water toys, meals, drinks, and practical tips.

“I just want to take a minute to say what a great time my group of 11 had on this excursion. I have traveled frequently and often and have never experienced the amount of fabulous customer service we all had on this trip.. Isais (papi chulo) and his crew worked tirelessly to ensure we had a great time. We were able to enjoy all the watersports, delicious food and bottomless beverages all day long (including the boat ride there and back). I would go back to Puerto Vallarta just to do this again and spend the day with these entertaining, hard working and extremely personable individuals. Thank you to everyone…”

Crew was exceptional, attentive, and made sure your glass was always full. Excellent value. Will do again as it was our best adventure in Puerto Vallarta.”

“I want to leave a 5-star review for my pre-wedding boat party with Chicca Loca Tours. We originally had a different yacht booked, but had to switch because that boat wasn’t renovated in time. I was honestly pretty worried at first—but the owner, Gil, reassured me that everything would still be amazing, and wow… he was absolutely RIGHT.”

Review of ChicaFun 1, a private Puerto Vallarta yacht charter with snorkeling, beaches, waterslides, drinks, snacks, and custom stops.

“We saw so many whales and had the best time with the staff. They even weng above and beyond with a birthday cake for our friend turning 30. No one ever had a second without a drink in their hand. The only tip is that the boat is not in PV and it was about a 40-50 min drive to get to there location. Well worth the travel time. The photographer was also swell!!!”

Sail Puerto Vallarta’s bay to Los Arcos and Mismaloya on a private half-day boat with snorkeling, paddleboarding, guacamole, and views.

“This tour was nice, but did not do what the described details of the tour. We were supposed to go to the Los Arcos National Park, but instead they took us to a different location with not much to see. Park fees were included in pricing, so we didn't feel it was a fair value. Although, Angel prepared us some amazing guacamole!!”
