About the experience.
Instead of a propeller, the boat is driven by a jet stream of water, which is what lets it slide sideways, take hairpin turns and spin on the spot. The captains brief you before you leave, life vests go on, and then it is speed and spray.
Departures are from the Maritime Terminal or Nuevo Vallarta. Child price $55 USD.

Plan the rest of the stay.
Ocean Mania Water Sports Day
A speedboat across the bay to a secluded cove set up for a day of water sports: parasailing, a zip-line into the sea, the Step-Up, a ride on the Thriller jet boat, snorkeling and a sea lion encounter.
Jet Ski Tour & Rental
Cross the bay on a guided jet ski tour to the rocks and caves of Los Arcos, or have a jet ski delivered to the water near your villa and ride by the hour.
Parasailing
Roughly six minutes in the air over Banderas Bay, high enough for the whole coastline, low enough to spot dolphins, manta rays or, in season, whales in the water below.
