About the experience.
The yacht follows the coast south past jungle, mountains and the villas along the shore. The first stop is Los Arcos National Park, the best-known snorkel site in the bay; the second is Majahuitas, a cove on the southern shore with a beach many consider the prettiest in the bay.
Between stops there is an open bar, food and the deck. Paddleboards and snorkeling equipment are on board, as are towels. Humpback whales and wild dolphins are sometimes seen along the way, in season.
Departures are from the Maritime Terminal or Nuevo Vallarta. This is a shared cruise; for a yacht of your own, see our private charters.
