Yachting in Vallarta, Mexico

Tucked away in a protected nook of the Pacific, you will find the Mexican Puerto Vallarta. This Mexican wonder will impress you from all it has to offer: from the famous “Tail of the Whale” Four Seasons golf course in Punta Mita located on the world's only natural green island, to the secluded powdery white sand beaches and coves, you will be sure to frequently return, with family and friends, to fully explore this yachting paradise. Puerto Vallarta is a resort town located within the Bahía de Banderas on Mexico’s Pacific coast, and is known for its incredibly sunny beaches, water sports and nightlife scene. Its El Malecón is a beachside promenade lined with sculptures where visitors may experience by day the more traditional and beautiful side of Puerto Vallarta and by night Vallarta’s bustling nightlife. Furthermore, Puerto Vallarta is home to numerous luxury resorts and world-class golf courses that sit along the bay’s stunning coastline amidst its protected islands filled with caves, reefs and tunnels. Yachting around Puerto Vallarta you will be able to experience all the riches the bay has to offer, from dolphin and whale watching to snorkeling and scuba diving amongst tropical coral reefs and fish. For an unforgettable snorkeling experience, sail to Los Arcos, a national marine park made up of small granite islands in the southern part of the Banderas Bay. Drop anchor and spend the day snorkeling through the tunnels and observing the plethora of local wildlife, or, for the more experienced divers, and with the aid of a local guide, scuba dive to Devil's Canyon and El Bajo underwater mountain range. If you prefer to remain above water, take the day to cruise within the Banderas Bay, to soak in the Mexican sun while you lounge aboard your yacht’s jacuzzi and probably run into some Humpback whales. Humpback whales migrate to Puerto Vallarta searching for tropical heat after having crossed freezing waters to mate and give birth to their offspring. You will be sure to spot their courtship pirouette jumps and hear their melancholic cries, and if you’re lucky, you could even see a mother swimming aside her little ones. As you sail though the bay, make your way to Las Islas Marietas. Located only an hour’s cruise away from Puerto Vallarta you will find Las Islas Marietas, a group of little islands situated in front of Punta de Mita and considered an ecological sanctuary due to the variety of wildlife species living there. At Las Islas Marietas you will find birds such as the blue-footed booby, gigantic stingrays, dolphins and Humpback whales. Spend the day in the water snorkeling in the warm pacific waters, but do not forget to look for the Hidden Beach inside a cave with a collapsed top that can only be accessed by swimming or kayaking through a tunnel.
