Puerto Vallarta Sunset Catamaran with Open Bar & Saxophone

This sunset cruise on Banderas Bay lasts about two and a half hours aboard a spacious double-decker catamaran. The operator pitches it as a mix of relaxed, upscale romance and lighter entertainment, with live saxophone music, an international open bar and a Mexican buffet of snacks. The boat has open-air decks on several levels, shaded lounge seating, restrooms and a sound system.

As you sail across the bay, described as one of the largest in the world, you get a view of the sun setting over the ocean horizon. The itinerary highlights the contrast of the Sierra Madre mountains meeting the sea, and you can enjoy the open bar while you take it in. Cocktails, cold beers and a welcome margarita are part of the offer.

Cruising along the coast, you see the Puerto Vallarta skyline and the Malecón boardwalk from the water. As dusk turns to night, the city lights come on against the dark mountains, while a live saxophonist performs on board. The operator says the trip begins with a calm, upscale sunset atmosphere and ends with an entertaining show by the crew.

On the food side, the buffet lists crispy chicken tacos, tostadas, sopes and cactus salad. The trip suits couples and celebrations, but also anyone who wants a comfortable evening on the water: it is suitable for all fitness levels, small children can ride in a stroller and infants sit on an adult's lap. Service animals are allowed.

Included are snacks, the catamaran with restrooms, the live saxophone performance and crew show, and alcoholic beverages. Private transportation and optional crew gratuities are not included. Most travelers can take part; collapsible wheelchairs are welcome if the passenger can step onto the boat with assistance, but the upper deck is reached only by stairs. No meeting point is listed, so confirm it with the operator when you book.
