Puerto Vallarta: Private Luxury Yacht Sunset Cruise with Open Bar

This is a private sunset cruise on a luxury yacht in the Bay of Banderas, departing from Marina Vallarta. The trip lasts about three hours, with a crew that the operator describes as knowledgeable and bilingual. It is built around the golden hour, with an open bar and snacks on board.

The route starts by heading down the coast toward the Los Arcos Nature Preserve, a group of natural islands with plenty of bird life. Cruising there takes approximately 1.5 hours, and it is the place for photos as the sun goes down. On the way you may spot dolphins or, in season, humpback whales.

The return leg follows the Vallarta coastline for another 1.5 hours or so, back to Marina Vallarta. You pass the Malecon boardwalk after dark, so the city lights can be seen from the water, a perspective you do not get on land.

The operator recommends it for couples, proposals, anniversaries and special celebrations, and because the yacht is private, the group is your own. On board you have a premium international open bar, freshly prepared snacks, carbonated beverages, WiFi and restrooms, plus in-vehicle air conditioning. Gratuities are not included. Guests must be at least 4 years old, and the activity is suitable for all fitness levels. Public transportation is available nearby, which helps if you go to the marina on your own; the source gives no other meeting details, so confirm them when you book.
