50' Sail boat that glides smoothly on water. Can comfortably accommodate a couple dozen passengers. Sails were hoisted making it a quiet ride. Saw some sea life, scenic sunset, and shoreline views. Crew was exceptional, attentive, and made sure your glass was always full. Excellent value. Will do again as it was our best adventure in Puerto Vallarta.

The crew went waaaay out of their way to make this a MEMORABLE event. The adventure description in the advertisement was true in every sense. And I think it was a good value too. I definitely will do this again when I return to Vallarta, and each time therafter too. CAUTION: Uber doesn't seem to serve the harbor area at 9PM when we got off the boat. Had to hike out to the main road to get a taxi home.

Beautiful. I recommend in the front of the boat for an amazing view. The weather was perfect but bring a sweater if you sometimes get chilly with a breeze.

Missed the trip because they sent us to the wrong location. Usually visitor is good but this was a terrible experience. Now we’re are stuck because the taxi left. Don’t book this trip.

We have been on numerous Sunset cruises with this company. Usually top notch. Unfortunately this time not so good. Slow drinks, late food, and we were too close to the shore to actually see the sun set in the water.

The Captain and crew were awesome. Although it was a cloudy night (NOT the fault of the tour), they compensated with some cool whale watching along the way. Great time and highly recommend.

So many amazing things to say about this sunset sailboat ride! It was extremely organized and a wonderful experience! Captain and crew were very welcoming and friendly and attentive. Although we’re not drinkers, it was open bar and the crew made sure you were always topped off they gave you the space to enjoy the boat and the sea and the sunset. Small tasty hors doevres were served which was a a nice touch! We even saw some whales and stopped to watch them play! Overall, an unforgettable experience my fiance and I will not forget! Highly recommend!!

It was a wonderful sail along Bandaras Bay. The crew were so attentive but not intrusive. Music was nice but not too loud. Totally worth it to book the Luxury cruise option. The low density allowed everyone to have a nice seat without being crowded. Will definitely book again next time I am in OV.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Hola Jennifer,

Be very careful you understand WHO is communicating with you about this activity. The tour company tried to make the trip more convenient for launch location for us but then Viator sent reminder messages with conflicting information, causing confusion on our end. It was unfortunate however the tour company didn't really try to work with us over the confusion, not understanding that communication all looks like official communication from the user end on the app. It's just a tourist thing to take the money and figure they got theirs and too bad for the tourist. I do live there though(which was why I could reschedule), but they didn't want to be helpful. Noted. What a shame to have missed showing our friends.

The crew was friendly, great and knowledgeable.. Although the activity listing shows a picture of a catamaran, we were instead on a large saild boat (50 feet) and the number of people on the boat was kept small and everyone had enough personal space to relax. The food and drinks were more than we expected, although not the best quality, but we wouldn’t expect that on any tourist boat. The views of the sunset, shorline and wildlife were amazing, the crew’s service was excellent, and the music was perfect. Thus, overall it was 5/5 stars for us. Thanks for everything! - Mike & Jay from Chicago

The cruise was cut short. We
Did not get a chance to see any sunset, as the catamaran turned back while the sun was still up. The snacks were very very old and poorly prepared. Dry bread with a bit of salsa on it. Alcohol most likely watered down, as after few drinks, we didn’t feel any buzz. Totally not worth the money.
Response from Host, Dec 2025

This was great! The experience was fun. The photos were mediocre but we purchased for $50. Again we took better pics with our phone but at the end a comment was made that our tip at the end was not satisfactory. Neither were the photos but we still paid for them. It was not necessary and embarrassing…
