What you get
About this experience
Becoming able to sail a sailboat only with the wind is a skill that will give you the sense of Freedom that only the ocean can give. You'll realize that you will be able to get to some of the most beautiful places on the planet with your new skills. Having whale sightings (Dec - April), dolphins and turtles are always an exceptional surprise. Your vision and understanding of the sea changes completely. Being able to change course and adjust sails to quickly steer to flocks of birds that tell you the precise location of schools of fish makes you realize that you are able to adapt to the environment. The experience of eating a Ceviche with the fish you just caught is incredibly rewarding. Living this sailing experience will change your perception of the way you usually enjoy your trips to the beach with your family or friends.

Wonderful time
A great time learning how to sail in a beautiful location. Eduardo took care of everything, brought us to a local lunch place afterwards and then even drove us around town to show us the sights. Would come back again!
Response from the operator: Dear Eugene, good day Thanks for letting us take your family to sail the Hobbie Cat. All of you guys were so kind. See you next time Best regards Eduardo

A fantastic afternoon on the water!
This trip was amazing! Fernando is a wonderful guide. He teaches you all about the catamaran and is very patient with you as you learn. He is a generous person with a lot of fun stories as well! Being on the boat is great, we even saw some whales in the distance as we were sailing. The boat feels very stable and safe too! Even though we didn't catch any fish this time, Fernando had prepared some fresh ceviche (it was delicious) that we ate with his family. When I come back to PV I will for sure look up this adventure again!

One of our favorite activities in Puerto Vallarta
This was hands down one of our most memorable experiences in Puerto Vallarta. Sun, sea, fishing, and quality family time — it really had everything. Sailing was incredibly relaxing, with the soothing motion of the water setting the tone for the day. The fishing itself felt almost mOne of our favorite activities in Puerto Vallartaeditative, and there was something deeply satisfying about catching fish and then eating it within about 90 minutes of pulling it from the ocean. Watching the entire ceviche-making process was fascinating — each step of preparation. It turned into a true family project (on the crew’s side!), and everything was unbelievably fresh. Sitting there, watching the ocean, drinking cold beers, and enjoying ceviche made from what we had just caught was simply fabulous. A beautiful, delicious, and meaningful experience from start to finish. We loved every minute - including the staff attention - and would absolutely do it again.

Fun adventure
We had a great time. Rafael was a great guide/captain. My son steered the boat for a while. We stopped and swam in the ocean for a while. We spotted a sea turtle and saw birds diving for fish. We got unlucky and didn't catch any fish or see any whales.

Great sailing trip
I had a great time and the crew was accommodating. I wasn't interested in the fishing portion and booked a time later in the evening when the winds were high so I could experience more speed on the Hobiecat. Fernando was a great and patient instructor and Eduardo made us some excellent guacamole.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Hobie-Cat Sailing and Fish your own Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Discover Hobie-Cat Sailing and Fish your own Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $225 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Hobie-Cat Sailing and Fish your own Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.
Is Discover Hobie-Cat Sailing and Fish your own Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Hobie-Cat Sailing and Fish your own Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Hobie-Cat Sailing and Fish your own Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Hobie-Cat Sailing and Fish your own Lunch?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Vallarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Hobie-Cat Sailing and Fish your own Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Vallarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats, Food & Mixology Tour:Tequila,Tacos, Mezcal and Agave Cocktails. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Vallarta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
