The Tequila Sunrise crew were AMAZING. Treated our group like royalty and totally customized the experience. They found a great private spot to hang out and enjoy the ocean with the slide and lily pads! AND the double decker catamaran had plenty of space. Sooo much fun!

Nobody’s drink ever went dry, even while we were in the water!

DEFINITELY worth getting the food/drink package.

We rented a catamaran for our family. From booking to end everything was great. Communication prior to the trip was great. They let us at the dock and escorted us to our boat. Boat was in good clean condition. Delicious guacamole, Margheritas, and fruit onboard. They made sure to always check in with us if we wanted to do something else or needed anything else. Great trip, would recommend.

Our family of 10 spent the whole day on a yacht today with staff: Daniel, chef Ceasar, and captain Anthony. We had a wonderful day from beginning to end. We swam, snorkeled, paddle boarded, played on the lily pad and our grandson even caught a fish! The whole crew was fun, responsive, and anticipated all our needs. Caesar even swam out to spear an octopus and then came back to the boat with it, cooked it and prepared a delicious salad for us to enjoy.

Ernesto and crew were all just great!. Our evening cruise in Banderas Bay from the marina to Los Arcos and back again couldn’t have been more beautiful. The yacht Chef had wonderful charcuterie, Asian rolls, and other delicious small bites, and the yacht Bartender pours beautifully. We highly recommend!

Captain Eido, Chef Nicco, and our host Ernesto this family trip special. There were 7 of us, including my mom who is 91! Every step of the way they made my mom feel safe, and a valued part of the trip. The weather was inclement to sail the southern beaches, so Captain Eido pivoted, sailed north to see whales! We saw a great whale show, thank you Captain! The food was lovely, thank you Nicco! Ernesto, "Nesto", was a wonderful host, and really made the trip special for my mom & my family!. Overall, a very special event that was enjoyed by my entire family!

We had an incredible experience with Puerto Vallarta Yacht Rentals.

From the very beginning, communication was excellent. I had to change dates and times a couple of times, and they were extremely accommodating and easy to work with, which immediately set the tone for a stress free experience.

We booked a six hour cruise and it was absolutely worth it. We went snorkeling, used the paddleboards, relaxed on the lily pad, and spent time on a beautiful beach playing in the waves. The snorkeling was fantastic with tons of colorful fish. We also saw dolphins, whales jumping, and even sea turtles, which made the experience truly unforgettable.

They also accommodated us with a couple of fishing poles that we trolled behind the boat while cruising. We didn’t catch anything this time, but it was still a lot of fun and made for some great photos and memories.

A special shout out to the captain and his first mate. They did an outstanding job from start to finish, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we were comfortable, safe, and having a great time the entire trip. They were attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about making the experience memorable.

We were also hoping to catch one of the world class Puerto Vallarta sunsets in the Bay of Banderas, but it ended up being a cloudy day, which is rare for this time of year. Obviously not their fault at all, and it honestly just gives us a great excuse to book another trip and come back for that spectacular sunset next time.

The entire six hours flew by and felt perfectly paced. I would absolutely do this again and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta. If you are on the fence, don’t be. This is an amazing experience

Absolutely amazing trip with our host Ernesto. The boat was clean and beautiful. Ernesto took the group snorkeling and then we swam before having an amazing lunch. The best ceviche and guacamole. We can’t wait to come back during whale season.

We had an absolutely amazing time on the Escandalo Yacht! Huge shoutout to Captain Jairo, bartender Nico, and tour guide Ernesto. Hands down the best service around and I have been on many yachts in the area! Our cups were never empty, the energy was fantastic, and the trip up the north shore was unforgettable. We’ll definitely be booking again. Thanks, Peter and Vallarta Yacht Rentals!

10/10 experience! My group and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Vallarta Yacht Rentals. The trip was perfectly planned out to Quimixto with a stop to snorkel in beautiful waters. The crew was absolutely fantastic and really made the trip enjoyable. I will def be booking this same trip to show off to my friends next time!

We had another EXCELLENT experience with Vallarta Yacht Rentals! A lovely trip (with snack & beverage service) along the shore of PV from the marina up to remote Quimixto Beach where we had a fantastic lunch. Oh, we also stopped to do some snorkeling along the way. Things got stormy and the water got rough but the crew REALLY knew what to do to keep us all safe getting from the boat to shore and back even with two young kids (5 & 2). We had another awesome day with Phil and the Escandalo crew!

We had a group of 20 on the Tequila Sunrise catamaran and had a fantastic time. The crew were so attentive and fun and there were plenty of food and snacks throughout the day. We had a grilled lunch of kebabs that were so good. Drinks never unfilled and were accommodating to everyone’s preferences. We had a great tour around, saw a couple sets of whales even though season was over and heard them singing. The slide is so fun and everyone enjoyed the water toys available. I would highly recommend the Tequila Sunrise and crew. Philip was great to work with in booking and accommodating our needs.

Vallarta Yacht Rentals’ Friday sunset cruise was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed. The yacht was spacious, clean, and luxurious, offering stunning panoramic views of Banderas Bay.

Watching the sun dip below the horizon while sailing across the water was breathtaking. The atmosphere was perfect—relaxing, yet lively—with great music, delicious drinks, and top-notch service. Whether you’re looking for a romantic evening or a fun outing with friends, this cruise is a must-do in Puerto Vallarta!

Highly recommend and can’t wait to book again!

This is year 2 of using Vallarta Yacht Rentals. We couldn't imagine after last year, that we could have an even more amazing enjoyable experience, but the ease of booking the yacht, the top notch crew, the drinks and the freshly made appetizers were over the top outstanding! We took many of the locals with us, and they have been on other rentals, and all of our guests told us, this is absolutely the best experience they have had compared to other boats they've been on. The yacht is beautiful, the crew is amazing and so much fun. If you want the best day on the bay, you won't be disappointed booking with Vallarta Yacht Rentals!! Thanks again for a wonderful day, and we already look forward to next year with you!

This was one of the best experiences I had with a private charter yacht company. Captain Philip and his crew makes things smooth, efficient and an overall wonderful experience. They go above and beyond for their passengers. You can make the experience how you wish, if you want to snorkel, a sunset cruise or just relax while cursing around, they make it happen.

Vallarta Yacht Rentals offers an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived at the Marina, we were welcomed with warm smiles, safety instructions, and were introduced to an impeccably clean, well-maintained, and comfortable 48 ft Sea Ray yacht. The crew promptly served us drinks and crafted special micheladas that were some of the best I've ever tasted! Felipe, our gracious host and boat owner, ensured that everyone was well taken care of. He joined us for swimming, lounged on the spacious floating lily pad, and shared in the laughter and camaraderie. Felipe also prepared a delicious lunch for all ten of us, including homemade guacamole, pico de gallo, and mouthwatering BBQ burgers fresh off the grill. His outstanding efforts and culinary skills truly made him a stellar host!

Phillip and his 2 man crew were awesome. We booked him direct while we were on our Norwegian cruise in Puerto Vallarta. He arranged a private van to pick the 14 of us near the pier to get to his very clean and nice yacht.
They had all sorts of snacks, croissants, breads, fresh fruit, cocktails, beer, water plus chips and guacamole. We got to see whales on our way to the beach where we had lunch.
The entire crew was very professional and attended to all of our needs which included refilling our drinks whenever we needed or didn't know we needed them :-).
Our 5-year-old twins had a great time and were totally safe Plus they enjoyed their virgin pina coladas.
Philip was very conscientious about the time we needed to get back to the port so we had zero issues worrying about not getting back in time and missing the ship.
We highly recommend and will definitely book again the next time we go back to Puerto Vallarta.

Top notch experience from beginning to end! Phillip was very responsive and helpful from the get-go. The actual voyage onboard the Escandalo was perfect! Ernesto and Victor were very professional and delightful to be around. Both made the expedition so enjoyable! Next time you are in PV make the time to sail aboard with Vallarta Yacht Rentals!
Philip and his team were incredible. We had a group of 11, half adults vs kids and they thought of everything for us. They truly made the experience luxurious and unforgettable. Everyone in our group said this adventure was the highlight of our trip to Puerto Vallarta!

Thank you!!
We went on the Escandalo private yacht sunset cruise, there were 11 women most who live here so we are very familiar with the various boats and cruises in PV. This was exceptional. The boat is beautiful and the crew were so attentive. We were offered champagne on arrival. An open bar and hors d'oeuvres followed, the service was top notch. They also helped us to get around the boat when needed. We had a great time. Thank you to the captain and crew for making it a special evening. I would highly recommend this cruise for a special or any occasion.
A lovely sunset cruise with a great crew. Such an enjoyable evening seeing the Bay at night and to end the night, fireworks on the beach at one of the water front resorts. Recommend very highly this yacht charter company. Thank you for such a memorable night Vallarta Yacht Rentals.

Beautiful adventure onboard the Escandalo , snorkeling Los Arcos and Quimixto beach. Captain and crew were highly experienced and attentive with food and drinks and local knowledge. Saw whales, dolphins, turtles and lots of colourful fish. Fabulous day trip and sunset onboard this beautiful yacht. Highly recommend Vallarta Yacht rentals.
Another awesome day with captain & crew aboard Escandalo. Beautiful beach, and the service, food & drink at El Volador restaurant Quimixto was exceptional. So fortunate to see a pod of whales and dolphins playing in our wake.
