Great time until we hit a storm.

Victoria_K, Sep 2023

Prefacing this with we are not experienced sailing people….we went out and had a great time on the first half. Sit towards the middle of the boat if you don’t want splashed. Snacks were okay! Experience of the sunset and sail was very relaxing. You will have to take your shoes off and there are no chairs. NOW the way back. It started STORMING. Lightning, thundering, big waves. The crew gave us rain jackets, but no life jackets, and continued to serve drinks and play music in the darkness and thunderstorm. Not being normal sailors, my husband and I were a little caught off guard. The lightning was too close for comfort and it felt like we’re could’ve slid off with a big wave. We eventually crawled to the back and sat down in the kitchen for the rest of the ride by our own direction. This was one of our favorite excursions until the storm hit. Not being normal sailors, we were not comfortable with how it was handled. That being said, eat prior and don’t go during rainy season and you’ll have a 5 star time!

Amazing Cruise

Harrison_C, Sep 2023

Amazing sunset cruise with a great staff. Very intimate experience with fantastic food and drinks. A must do if you’re looking for a romantic experience in PV.

Enjoying Puerta Vallarta

R1951JSaolcom, Aug 2023

I greatly enjoy being out on the open water. We spent about 2 1/2 hours on Banderas Bay. There was plenty to drink and the appetizers were tasty. Most importantly, the crew was very attentive and was always making sure your had enough food and drink.

Amazing Experience

Charles_D, Aug 2023

Wonderful Birthday Trip Excursion

Beautiful Sunset! 🌞

LynnetteK_L, Apr 2023

We had a wonderful time on our Sunset Cruise last evening. The sailboat didn't disappoint...nice wine, nice charcuterie and beautiful sunset. Vallarta Adventures did a great job!

Super Sunset Sail!

Kevin_M, Apr 2023

It was so fun! The crew was super friendly and funny, the snacks were delicious and the drinks flowed freely. I would recommend, if you feel you might get seasick (I get carsick), you should sit on the bench seats in the back with the table, it was much more stable than sitting in the middle or front on seat pads. They also had the perfect playlist! I would absolutely do this again.

Good experience

Marketta_B, Mar 2023

I had so much fun and the crew was very nice! I would do that everyday if i could! The food was delicious but the only issue i had was with the drinks. They tasted like juice

Relaxing!

Sarah_F, Dec 2022

Crew was accommodating and the food and drinks were delicious! My only complaint was the music...i dont know who picked the playlist but it was very classic American and I would have loved a more cultural experience. The sunset itself wasn't super great for our trip due to cloud coverage but it was still beautiful and we really enjoyed being out on the water in the dark.

Perfect way to see Puerto Vallarta!

Ashley_G, Nov 2022

We had the best time! Beautiful views, attentive service, delicious food and drinks, and the crew was a hoot! Will definitely do again next time we're here!

Beautiful views

Charlenette_J, Jul 2022

Christian & his crew did a wonderful job. They kept the drinks flowing & asked if we needed more. We sailed out & was able to see the city from the sea. It was a memorable experience for us.

Wow!

Rachel_T, May 2022

Wow! Beautiful boat, sunset, new friends and hot wait staff! We also loves the food and the endless pour of drinks.

Good views

Alfie_H, Mar 2022

Sunset views were good. Drinks were slow, often forgotten. Food was ok but expected to eat with fingers then had to ask for Napoli a.

Pure Perfection!

Bradley_T, Feb 2022

Highly recommend! Was a perfect experience. Boat was super luxurious and clean, and not too crowded. The crew was amazing! It was just the right amount of time on the boat, and the sunset was obviously incredible. So worth it!

Crew and view but nickel and dimed

Kacey_A, Apr 2021

This is a good tour, but I don't like being nickel and dimed. After you buy you will be told that there is an additional charge of $28.00 MXP to board. When you arrive you will be told the charge is $30.00MXP per person. Which just reeks of false advertising, not a good way to start a tour. The boat was way overcrowded for Covid-19 safety, food was ok, drinks tasted thin. But the crew was very friendly gave great service, and did everything they could to help people have a fantastic time.

Sunset Cruise

Gary_B, Mar 2020

The crew was excellent. Attentive yet professional. Their craft was emasculate. They diffidently provided more than was expected with a sunset cruise.

Description was wayyy off!!

Angelique_D, Aug 2018

This sailing was way off from description. Description made it would like a luxury sail boat you can walk around with an open bar. What we got was a small craft sail boat that holds 20 and paddinh for sitting on boat. Also drinks were handed out windows from the bottom of boat. What was even worse was the food. It was all warm even though it should be cold. One dish waa spoilwed and my sister waa sick for days. Over all bad experience except for the actual sunset. And it rained with bo cover at night.

Really fun experience with a great...

It was a beautiful trip with a great tour guide. The only reason for 4 stars vs 5 was language barrier.
