Best experience on the Bay
I have booked tours with this company for the past 2 years. Nothing in Puerto Vallarta comes close to the experience offered by these fine professionals. The yacht is pristine and very accommodating offering places to sun or enjoy the shade. The crew is amazing. Their knowledge of the bay is exceptional and the service is superb. You will not find a better experience. Booked 3 times last year and 5 times 2026. 5 stars!

Best Yacht and Crew on the Bay!
Everything was top both, above and beyond. We arrived to meet Felipe and Poncho at Bruma before headed down the dock to board Escandalo. We were warmly greeted by a very attentive and courteous crew. Capi and Neto spoiled us all day. Drinks and tasty food continued all the way to and from Quimixto. Stoped and snorkels a bit at Los Arcos. Can’t wait to go again soon!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the amazing review. I am really glad you had such a great day out on the water. It was a pleasure meeting you at Bruma before the trip, and I am happy to hear the crew took such good care of you throughout the day. Capi and Neto will really appreciate the shoutout. It sounds like you had the perfect mix of cruising, snorkeling, and enjoying the food and drinks. Those are always the best days. We truly appreciate you choosing us and cannot wait to have you back onboard again soon.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Puerto Vallarta: Private Luxury Yacht Charter with Crew: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Puerto Vallarta: Private Luxury Yacht Charter with Crew cost?
+
Prices start at $2401 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 Puerto Vallarta: Private Luxury Yacht Charter with Crew take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Puerto Vallarta: Private Luxury Yacht Charter with Crew worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 19 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 Puerto Vallarta: Private Luxury Yacht Charter with Crew?
+
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 Puerto Vallarta: Private Luxury Yacht Charter with Crew suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Puerto Vallarta: Private Luxury Yacht Charter with Crew?
+
Around 7 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Puerto Vallarta: Private Luxury Yacht Charter with Crew 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.
