Our verdict

This tour fits a typical Puerto Vallarta call (8:00 am–4:30 pm). It runs 4 h; ashore by 8:20 am, you can start by 8:40 am and be back at the gangway around 1:00 pm — 2 h 30 min to spare on top of a 1 h safety margin.

Rule of thumb: it keeps the safety margin as long as all aboard is 2:00 pm or later. Even a short 7:00 am–2:00 pm call works.

We don't have a verified start point for this tour yet, so we assume 20 min each way from the pier — the typical ride in Puerto Vallarta. Check the meeting point on the booking page.

Among the 400 Puerto Vallarta shore excursions we track, this is about average in length (the median runs 4 h); 86% of them fit a typical call.

Computed from the tour's published duration, the distance from the cruise pier to its start point and the typical Puerto Vallarta call. Adjust your ship's times above to recheck.

About this tour

Enjoy the most exclusive beaches just accessible by sea and reach places that other regular tours don’t go. Also enjoy the explanation from our captain on the art of sailing. This is not a boat trip, this is an experience to enjoy life, privacy and luxury.

Sailing is a lot quieter and more relaxing than traveling in a motor boat, it will be easier to see different sea species from small medusas to whales, dolphins, turtles, etc. (Depends on the season)
