Private Sailing/Boat Charters
While you are close to all the excitement of the Pacific Ocean, why not take advantage and “set sail” or “up anchor” and cruise around the beautiful Bahía de Banderas. Enjoy a private tour in a pristine Catamaran/ Ocean cruiser or yacht. You can travel to the Marietta Islands to swim, snorkel and dive or traverse the bay to the funky seaside villages of Yelapa and Chimo. During whale season (November to May) you can enjoy watching the whales and dolphins breaching and playing in the bay.
