Experiences in Puerto Vallarta
Top Things to See & Do
While Sailing in Puerto Vallarta
Sailing in Puerto Vallarta is one of the best ways to discover the hidden beauty of the bay. From secret beaches to wildlife encounters and postcard sunsets, here are the top experiences you shouldn’t miss while out on the water:
Spot Wildlife Up Close
Depending on the season, you can see dolphins swimming alongside the boat, sea turtles popping up for air, and (during winter) majestic humpback whales breaching in the distance. Whale season in PV runs roughly from December to March, and witnessing them from a private yacht is unforgettable.
Discover Hidden Beaches
Puerto Vallarta has beaches you can only reach by boat. Sailing gives you access to gems like: Colomitos Beach (one of the smallest beaches in Mexico), Playa Malinal, Punta Negra & Playa Anclote.
Visit Iconic Attractions by Water
Some of PV’s most beloved destinations are even better from the ocean. During your sailing trip, you can cruise past: Marietas Islands, Amina Beach, & Playa Anclote. These stops add adventure and variety to your day on the water.
Snorkel in Crystal-Clear Waters
Make a stop at spots like Los Arcos, Colomitos, or the route toward Marietas Islands for snorkeling sessions surrounded by colorful tropical fish. The water is calm, turquoise, and perfect for first-timers or experienced swimmers.
Enjoy an Epic Sunset at Sea
A sunset sail is one of the most romantic experiences in the bay. The sky turns pink, orange, and purple as the city lights up in the background. It’s ideal for: proposals, romantic dinners, anniversaries & photography tours.
Jump In for a Swim & Enjoy
One of the best parts of having a private yacht is simply stopping in the middle of the bay for a swim. The water is warm, calm, and perfect for floating with a drink. It gives you that perfect “I’m really on vacation” moment.
