Just ok
15 people (kids and adults) — just meh. Did not go to los arcos which we kind of expected. Instead they anchor at a tiny beach about a half mile away where you are supposed to snorkel by some rocks near shore in the surf. They did not have kid size snorkeling gear which was ok because our kids just like goggles which we brought. About 4 other boats anchor at the same meh beach. After that we sailed back very slowly. I did not realize they were going so slow to ensure we got our fulll 6 hr tour. We just wanted to get off the boat and out of the sun. Very very little shade. The guys were good and the food and drinks were as expected. But I thought they may talk to us more and explain where we were going and what we were doing. I wish I would have told them we wanted to get back asap. Probably just the wrong tour for our group.

A tremendous cruise and bargain!!
Our family had a wonderful boat ride with the crew. Gustavo, Felix, and Ruiz we’re all fantastic. It was a very peaceful boat ride and we really loved the sailboat. They have a wonderful service and went out of their way. We also love the margaritas!

65 & fabulous birthday trip
We loved the laid back style. Weather was perfect. Captain, Richardo & crew were a wonderful crew. Lunch was delicious. Not heavy but fruit, ceviche, chips & sandwiches. Drinks plentiful

Family Vacation with our adult kids ❤️
From the moment we met Ricardo at the meeting point, he was outstanding! Friendly, funny and easy going. At first I thought six hours may have a little too much time, but it was perfect!! We came with our adult kids ages 23-26 and they had a blast!! They snorkeled, paddle boarded, jumped off the sail boat, laid out. The fajitas were delicious!! And their service top notch. Always asking if we needed anything else. I would recommend this crew Ricardo, Diego and captain (can’t remember his name 🤦🏻♀️) 10/10!! You will Not be disappointed!! Ricardo was hilarious, always making us laugh 😂

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Private Sailing Cruise Puerto Vallarta with Snorkeling: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Full-Day Private Sailing Cruise Puerto Vallarta with Snorkeling cost?
+
Prices start at $17500 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 Full-Day Private Sailing Cruise Puerto Vallarta with Snorkeling take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Full-Day Private Sailing Cruise Puerto Vallarta with Snorkeling worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 113 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Private Sailing Cruise Puerto Vallarta with Snorkeling?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Full-Day Private Sailing Cruise Puerto Vallarta with Snorkeling suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Private Sailing Cruise Puerto Vallarta with Snorkeling?
+
Around 40 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Private Sailing Cruise Puerto Vallarta with Snorkeling 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.
