A private yacht celebration in Puerto Vallarta is the ultimate way to mark a special occasion. Whether you\'re planning a milestone birthday, a bachelorette party, a wedding ceremony or a corporate event, here\'s how to make sure the day is perfect.
Step 1 – Choose the right boat
Start with your guest count and the vibe of the event. For intimate celebrations of up to 10 guests, a private yacht like Sofia is ideal. For groups of 14 you can\'t go wrong with Alabama or La Libertad. For 15 to 25 guests — weddings, corporate events, big parties — Christofer is our flagship catamaran-style yacht.
Step 2 – Pick the date and duration
Most celebrations work great as a 6 or 8 hour trip. A 3-hour sunset cruise is perfect for proposals and anniversaries. Wedding ceremonies usually need 6 hours minimum to allow for setup, ceremony and reception on board.
Step 3 – Plan the route
Some favorite routes for celebrations:
- Sunset loop — 4 hours around the bay with the Pacific sunset as backdrop
- Yelapa beach day — 6 hours including a stop for lunch on the beach
- Marietas + Hidden Beach — 8 hours full-day with snorkeling
- Custom wedding route — tailored ceremony spot + reception on board
Step 4 – Add the extras
This is what makes the day unforgettable:
- Decorations, balloons, signage and flowers
- Catering, private chef or grazing tables
- Bar service with cocktails and premium drinks
- DJ, live saxophonist or acoustic music
- Professional photographer / videographer with drone
- Wedding officiant and ceremony arch
Step 5 – Confirm logistics
Arrive 20 minutes before departure at Marina Vallarta. Bring swimsuits, sunscreen, a light jacket for sunset trips, and any decorations or special items you want on board (we\'ll set them up for you).
How much does a yacht celebration cost?
The boat starts at $3,200 MXN/hour for our standard yachts and $5,500 MXN/hour for the Christofer catamaran. Add-ons (catering, DJ, decorations, photographer) are quoted separately based on your selections.
