⛵ New Lagoon 40 Yacht Catamaran in Puerto Vallarta
What a wonderful experience! We picked Raul because my husband liked the pictures of his boat. He used to sail and we are actually thinking of buying a boat back home in the US. We were here in Puerto Vallarta celebrating my birthday. I wanted to go for a boat ride but did not want to be around other people so we thought it would be a good idea to rent a boat. We have friends that rent boats all the time in Mexico so we thought we would give it a try. Raul was very quick to respond to us. We exchanged a few chats and set up the booking online. It was easy! He immediately gave us information on where to meet. We got information on what to expect and what to bring. When we arrived to the dock, we left right on time. Our Captain & Crew ( Armando & Fernando) were very friendly & helpful. They took us to a private beach that was absolutely beautiful! We could snorkel, paddle board, swim, or relax! We booked a 6 hour trip, but you can book for longer or shorter. We just thought 6 hours seemed perfect for us. When we arrived we were greeted with drinks and a big plate of fruit! We don’t drink alcohol, so we were very happy that Raul was OK with this. When you rent your own boat for the day, you get the flexibility of creating your own itinerary and deciding what you want to eat and drink. After our fun swim, Fernando made us fresh Guacamole with chips! On our way back we even caught two big fish! Wow! That was soooo exciting and unexpected! Fernando made us fresh ceviche! It was such a fun-filled trip! We would do this again with Raul, Fernando, & Armando in a heartbeat! The boat was so clean & beautiful. We got back just in time. We would recommend this company to everyone. What an amazing experience!

❤️ Beautiful Yacht Tiara 42 for Charter in Puerto Vallarta
This experience was definitely worth it. They took us to a beautiful private beach that was the cleanest sand and prettiest views. They served our drinks the whole time. We danced and had such a great experience. The staff was so friendly and the boat was clean. I would definitely recommend. One of the best parts of our trip!

⛵ New Lagoon 40 Yacht Catamaran in Puerto Vallarta
Phenomenal!!! Best charter ever. I have chartered many a places in the world and hands down the captain and crew were the best ever, they were so attentive the entire six hours. They even let some of us sail the boat ourselves if wanted. We were thirteen ladies and they met all our expectations. Drinks, alcoholic and not, were served constantly. Guacamole salsa and chips were delicious, not to mention the fresh fruit being superb. We stopped at a fantastic beach for snorkeling and paddle boarding. They even stopped twice along the way back for us just to jump in and swim. Some of us even jumped from the top. Hands down, two thumbs up to this crew. Can’t forget how easy this was to book and how responsive Raul was to all my questions

⛵ New Lagoon 40 Yacht Catamaran in Puerto Vallarta
This was one of the best private charters I have ever booked. The crew was stupendous! Great vibes, drinks, music! The vessel is in great condition and very comfortable. The hidden beach they took us to was totally worth it! Had fun paddle boarding!
