The catamaran slips away from Puerto Vallarta’s marina and the city shrinks into a line of roofs and palms. Salt wind tugs at your hat, the crew sets a steady rhythm, and the bay opens — blue, warm, and curious — daring you to jump in.

The catamaran slips away from Puerto Vallarta’s marina and the city shrinks into a line of roofs and palms. Salt wind tugs at your hat, the crew sets a steady rhythm, and the bay opens — blue, warm, and curious — daring you to jump in.
This five‑hour luxury yacht cruise heads south into the Bay of Banderas toward Majahuitas Cove, a sheltered cut in volcanic headlands where jungle falls almost to the sand. Geologically the bay is a wide, volcanic embayment carved by tectonics and erosion; the shoreline alternates rocky cliffs and soft beaches that catch the Pacific swell. Culturally, you’ll pass sights tied to Puerto Vallarta’s fishing and film history — including the possible view of Los Arcos and the Malecon from the water.
Onboard, expect deli‑style lunch, unlimited premium open bar, and attentive crew service. Snorkeling equipment and paddleboards are provided; the cove’s clear water and rocky reefs support tropical fish and occasional rays. The operator runs small groups (up to ~40), routes set by sea conditions, and enforces a minimum age of 10.
Practical guidance: bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a quick‑dry cover, and a waterproof bag for phones. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before boarding. Wear non‑slip sandals for boarding and flip to fins when snorkeling, and listen to the safety briefing — currents can shift near rocks.
This trip blends easy marine access with a premium yacht experience: the pleasure is both the water and the careful pacing that lets you actually use it.
Yes — snorkel masks, snorkels and fins are provided; crew will brief you on proper use and safety.
