The 100-foot catamaran—two shaded lounges, a glossy bar, water slides and a dive platform—turns the Bay of Banderas into a private playground where ocean and comfort meet.

The 100-foot catamaran—two shaded lounges, a glossy bar, water slides and a dive platform—turns the Bay of Banderas into a private playground where ocean and comfort meet.
Bahía de Banderas is geologically young reef-filled water carved by tectonic movement from the Sierra Madre Occidental. The coast around Puerto Vallarta grew as a fishing port and evolved through tourism in the 20th century; now private charters thread between Los Arcos, Marietas and secluded beaches like Yelapa. Expect to pass volcanic rock outcrops, mangrove-fringed inlets, and clear snorkeling coves where rays and turtles feed.
On a typical half-day charter you’ll balance play and downtime—snorkel a protected cove, paddleboard past cliffs, then return for fresh ceviche at the swim platform while crew top up drinks. In winter the bay stages humpback whale visits; in calmer months the water invites long swims and floating rest.
Practical guidance: choose a morning slot for calmer seas and clearer water, bring reef-safe sunscreen, and wear secure water shoes for boarding from the ladder. Confirm your meeting point before booking and let the operator know any mobility needs—this yacht accommodates groups up to ~155 but private tours are customizable. Expect a relaxed itinerary, professional crew, and the option to add hot fajitas or upgraded bar service. The sea here pushes you to play; the yacht gives you a comfortable reason to stay out as long as you like.
