Was a blast our Captian and mates were great. Would defenlty suggest this to any one looking for a day of relaxation with snorkeling. Lunch was one of the best meals I've had here. Hands down a great experience.

Itinerary
For the less energetic, this is a day to just lie back on one of the many cushioned mattresses. There is simply no better way to take in the tropical surrounds, than by sipping on an ice-cold beverage while enjoying the natural sounds of the sea punctuated by the song of the wind.
Without a doubt, sailing is the ultimate way to catch a glimpse of wild dolphins, humpback whales, manta rays and turtles. Wild dolphins love nothing more than to swim alongside a silently gliding sailboat and you'll delight in their antics as they play in your wake.
This day combines pure, unadulterated sailing pleasure with absolute pampering. Your friendly crew scrupulously attend to the smallest details to ensure that your sailing experience is the adventure of a lifetime. Lunch, snacks and all beverages are included!

Highly enjoyable & I totally recommend, lil snacky snack at start of our voyage.. lunch was perfect so was the crew.
Wonderful experience, amazing day! Our guides and captain were the best.
Great tour. Great snorkeling. Extremely friendly and courteous captain and staff. Plenty of drinks and food.
One of the best experiences to date! Super affordable and amazing views!
They will have a great time. The water was warm and the Food was good. The operators were friendly and attentive and very helpful
Workers were positive and friendly.
Victor and the whole crew were amazing! Service was excellent, and the experience was wonderful. Food was delicious as well. Highly recommend doing this experience!
The boat ride was amazing! Not just saying that for a review it was honestly the best excursion I ever booked, ever. Dead serious. Luxury boat with captain Victor… 10/10.
Got an email saying excursion had been upgraded to a yacht. Arrived at the office and was told that we hadn't confirmed we were ok with the change so they canceled us. No request to confirm via email & no voicemails from the provider. Ruined our day. Do not recommend. Agent at the desk in the marina was rude and unwelcoming.
Great trip! The crew was so nice and there is a large emphasis on service. Lunch was very accommodating as someone with an allergy.
This was our 1st sailboat experience and it did not disappoint. Capt Rueben was amazing along with his staff Walter & Calben. I never leave reviews and only read them but had to for this excursion. The whole experience from beginning to end was fantastic. Food and drinks (made fresh) were yummy!
What a great day! The crew was fantastic, extremely attentive. Knowledgeable and fun! Drinks flowed and lunch was tasty.
This sailing day remains to be one of our family's favorite experiences in Puerto Vallarta. From an amazing crew to delicious food/drinks, this was truly a priceless trip. Fernando, Marvin, Anita, and Sergio were not only knowledgeable, but incredibly fun. They are what sets this company apart from any other and genuinely provided the best service we've gotten from a trip like this. If you are thinking of booking this, absolutely do it because you will not regret it! Thank you to Fernando, Sergio, Marvin, and Anita for an unforgettable day!
Great experience with a friendly crew. They take their time to make sure you enjoy the day, definitely worth the money!
Excellent tour! Rueben, Danny, Calvin and Walter made the day exceptional. The food was amazing, the captain and staff friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We saw dolphins and humpback whales. We anchored just off a beach halfway through our sail where we could snorkel or paddleboard. Food included 4 courses: fruit salad, chips and homemade guacamole, a foccia sandwich with pickles and a salad, and a brownie for desert. The bar served all kinds of craft cocktails and was fully stocked with beer and wine. 5 star tour! Thanks for the lovely day
This was an amazing experience. The crew, food, swimming, boat, and the opportunity to see whales, dolphins, and turtles were fantastic. Same time next year.
We sailed on “Lucky Four” today. What a treat. The crew were experienced sailors, helpful, kind and attentive to everyone’s needs. They allowed time to stop and admire the whales, a crew snorkeled with us and guided us to the fish providing explanations, the snacks, lunch and desert was freshly made and they ensured everyone had a drink the whole time we were out. Fabulous 6 hours.
My family and I had an incredible time on this luxury sailing and open bar experience in Puerto Vallarta. The crew was welcoming and energetic creating some great laughs. A huge shoutout to Captain Sergio for the smooth sailing, Fernando for saving my pearl earrings while snorkeling, Raciel for making amazing Piña coladas, and the photographer Liz for capturing such memorable moments for us on the sailboat Lucky 4. If you’re looking for a tour, definitely take this one!
First off, the staff were excellent, friendly and efficient. The food was good- enjoyed lunch and snacks. The reason I give it a low rating is because the boat was much too crowded. It was very uncomfortable to be squeezed in with so many people. We felt like sardines in a can. For this reason I would not recommend the trip.
I would definitely recommend this! Good food, good drinks, great staff! We got to see whale and dolphin, had a chance to try out snorkelling and paddle boarding, and had a great time enjoying the sun! Overall a great experience!
Excellent excursion! Top notch workers. Professional and attentive. Fantastic whale sightings. Great snorkeling. Fabulous food!
Welcoming and very attentive staff. Excellent food, beautifully presented. The boat was super clean. Even the playlist for the day was amazing- upbeat, happy music.
Another fantastic experience! .. this was the third time going…. The experience is great, food was so good, drinks plentiful and the best Margaritas ever! Saw tons of whales and dolphins which was also a bonus! Already planning on going again next year! Ruben and his crew were amazing! Definitely a class act. Thank you!
This was a really great day. We expected a catamaran but it was actually a large sailboat. It had four bathrooms, was extremely clean and the staff was fabulous. They kept us fed and watered for the entire five hours, there were only 8 people on our tour which made it great. We saw a couple of whales far away, had a snorkel opportunity if you wanted to go and time to lie on a nice little beach. Would highly recommend this tour. All in all an amazing relaxing day on the water. Would book it again.
It was amazing and the boat crew were top notch and made it an awesome experience. In fact we wished we could have done it twice. The snorkeling guide was awesome and we got to see lots of cool sea life. It was made to feel like a private experience with close friends. When they mean unlimited drinks it was unlimited with food coming at the right times, didn’t mean we weren’t toasted at the end but it’s all about limits. 😂 We 100% enjoyed the hospitality and happiness they all brought to the experience. The photographer was a bit annoying and wished we could have purchased just a few pictures. Maybe consider offering that in the future. 10/10 and worth the money!!
Great service wonderful way to see marine life. The food was good. Service was amazing. Being sunscreen. Drinks were ok. They have towels and snorkel gear.
Great day. Overall excellent and highly recommend. The Captain was in the water with us and made sure that the experience was everything that we were hoping for. Beautiful sailboat.
Well organized with great attentive staff. Clean boat. Great food. Not a lot of other participants so felt like either was private.
We had such a great time on the boat. Being able to snorkel without any jurisdiction was really nice. They were very consistent on bringing drinks, and really went out of their way to make sure you are having a great time.
I’ve toured with this company twice now. The first was Jan 2024. ( a little hazy on some of the details) It was an all day catamaran tour with a few stops south of PV, one of which was Yelapa. There was time for snorkeling as well. The snorkeling wasn’t the best from what I recall. Not a ton of fish, but it wasn’t terrible. We were able to swim from the snorkel area back to the beach for some time to relax. Yelapa was super cool. Easy and fun hike to the waterfalls. What stands out was the return trip to PV. The crew did a little drag show which was hilarious. Also, I booked this through Carnival Cruise Line. You don’t know the tour operator when booking but this company was who they used and I’m sure they tac’d on a 30% booking fee give or take. Consider booking separately. They are a well oiled machine and you shouldn’t have to worry about getting back to your cruise departure on time. The cruise lines would not partner with them otherwise. Of course, a 2 hour buffer is good practice. My second time was on a their Luxury Sailing tour with snorkeling. It was a pretty relaxing day. Tour around the arcos. And 1.5hrs in Mismayola to swim. Swimming experience was not good. Way too many jellyfish this time of year. I was stung probably 5 times in 2 minutes. After we that, we headed back to PV marina area and sailed around there for an hour or two. Drinks were flowing. Food on board was great. Definitely recommend.
This was a fun day out on a boat. The crew was great and attentive and food was wonderful. The mixed drinks were just ok. It was a long time on the boat. Probably would’ve been fine with it being 1-1.5 hours shorter. We saw manta rays and dolphins. The snorkeling in the area we went was very underwhelming. Would not recommend choosing this tour if you’re interested in that. Overall, beautiful day relaxing on a boat. Would not recommend for anyone who gets sea sick or has mobility limitations.
We had an excellent time on our sailing and snorkeling adventure. It was a small group of 10 (all adults which is what we wanted), and we were pampered the whole time. Food and drinks were wonderful -- and plentiful. Such a relaxing day on the water. Truly professional crew.
We took a 40 min cab ride to the marina just to sail and stop right in front of our hotel. Some of the other guests got obnoxiously drunk which ruined a majority of our time. Just because they serve food and drinks doesn’t make it luxurious.
Luxury sailing was incredible! What a great experience and the crew was amazing! Signed up for the Nuevo start at 9:30. Got there at 9, then they took us on a water taxi to Puerto Vallarta marina for the start of the cruise. Started right at 10 and got back at 3:30ish. As a soon as we left the marina the drinks were served (beer, wine, margaritas, Palomas, water, pop and others). 15 min after that they gave us a fruit bowl, then chips and gauac. We stopped for 1 hour to swim, paddle board and snorkel. We started to cruise again with the sails up and then we had a meat and cheese tray which was delicious! On the way back we had brownies! Highly recommend this sailing cruise!
We were a group of 8 and we were all very impressed by this tour. The food and drink were of higher quality and way more than we expected. None of the eight of us left the boat to do the snorkeling or paddle boarding the but the staff was super helpful with those who did. We saw a manta ray, sea turtle and some whales. It truly felt luxurious. It was a great day all around. the staff was amazing and attentive. 10/10 would recommend if you want some adventure or just relaxation.
The staff was amazing! Patient and helpful. The food and rinks were top notch! Would highflying recommend. Christian was the first mate but I can’t remember the captain and other crew members names. Here are some pics of the trip.
Very enjoyable day, the crew - Sergio as captain - was super attentive and food/drinks were great and refined. We paddle boarded and snorkeled in the middle of the day. Saw multiple species of tropical fish, including two rays. We sailed back to the port which was super peaceful and relaxing.
Boats are clean and neat. Food is great. Drinks are excellent. Nice variety. Everything went smoothly from check in to return. Second time this year we have used this company. Other time in Cancun.
Staff were friendly, attentive and fun! Awesome crew! Would do again with PV adventures when we come back.
Terrific day of sailing and swimming. Snacks and lunch were both delicious and fresh. The crew was fun and helpful. We saw whales, dolphins, and a sea turtle. The boat was beautiful and clean and very comfortable. SUP was fun, snorkeling wasn't great because the water had poor visibility (not anyone's fault). I would do this activity again.
We have sailed with three different sailing companies and now only sail with Vallarta Adventures. Boats are in excellent condition, food is very good, staff is wonderful and service is always excellent with smiles.
Excellent sail on a large new sailboat. Beautiful snorkeling and SUP/kayaking. Great food and drinks, attentive service
Great food, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive crew! Kept the drinks flowing and stopped 3-4 times for whale sightings. Would sign up for this experience again in a heartbeat!
This was an incredible trip! Well with the cost and more! Captain Ruben, Christian and Dani were awesome! The food was delicious and included shrimp cocktails, charcuterie, fruit and guacamole! Delicious cocktails. Lovely scenery! Whales, turtles and snorkeling and paddle boarding if you desired! I highly recommend and can not wait to do it again
This was the most amazing day, the staff were awesome! The service was too notch along with the food and drinks served. Will definitely do this again next year
The boat was a 50’ new Benetau, the crew was very helpful, efficient and nice, the program was great! We had seen wales close to the boat, snorkeling, and using SUP. I would recommend this tour to anybody who visits or lives in Banderas Bay area.
We've been to Puerto Vallarta several times, and this excursion was by far the best we've ever experienced. Sailing around Banderas Bay with a small group was so much nicer than the crowded tours. The Captain and crew were amazing and very attentive.The food was fresh, delicious and plentiful. The drinks were also free-flowing. This is a must-do for anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta!
This sailing trip was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had in my life. While they can’t promise we will see whales, we in fact saw more than a dozen! They would stop the boat for us to observe from a safe distance. The food was great. Music, drinks and service were great! Snorkeling was awesome as well! Highly recommend!
Fabulous day on the water! Sergio, Joni and Kevin were fantastic! Between the food and sailing it was the perfect day! We all enjoyed it!
