Great
We did the sunset catamaran tour with Mike’s Fishing & Tours and had an amazing time! The entertainment was fun, the crew kept the energy up, and everyone—from the bartender to the staff—was incredibly friendly. The food was good, the views were beautiful, and the whole experience felt organized and enjoyable. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

We are so glad you enjoyed the food, the drinks, and the beautiful views of the bay! 🥂✨ Thank you for your high recommendation, and we truly hope to welcome you back on board for another unforgettable sunset very soon. Safe travels! ⚓

2 Hour Mike's Sunset Tour
Views were beautiful. Great being out on the ocean at sunset. Drinks were okay. Food was disappointing. The brochure said pesto pasta and there was no pasta and the tapas we're very mediocre. Don't go for the food but go for the ambience
Response from the operator: Hi, Thank you for your honest feedback. We are happy to know you enjoyed the sunset views and the great atmosphere on board! 🌅✨ We sincerely apologize if there was any confusion regarding our food. We want to clarify that we have recently moved away from our old menu (which included the pasta you mentioned) to embrace a more authentic Mexican culinary experience.🍽️ The dishes you enjoyed were actually artisanal Sopes, a traditional Mexican favorite, rather than tapas. We are sorry if this change wasn't clearly explained during your trip, as our goal is to provide a fresh and local taste of Vallarta. 🥂🌮 We appreciate your comments as they help us improve how we present our new menu to our guests. We’d love to have you back to enjoy the full Mexican experience under another beautiful sunset!

Response from the operator: Hi! 🌅 Thank you so much for the review! We are thrilled to hear that our Sunset Tour was 'worth the time and money' for you.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Puerto Vallarta Sunset Catamaran with Open Bar & Saxophone: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Puerto Vallarta Sunset Catamaran with Open Bar & Saxophone cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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 Sunset Catamaran with Open Bar & Saxophone 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 Puerto Vallarta Sunset Catamaran with Open Bar & Saxophone worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 25 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 Sunset Catamaran with Open Bar & Saxophone?
+
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 Sunset Catamaran with Open Bar & Saxophone 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 Puerto Vallarta Sunset Catamaran with Open Bar & Saxophone?
+
Around 9 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 Puerto Vallarta Sunset Catamaran with Open Bar & Saxophone 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.
