Three docks. One bay.

We sail from Marina Vallarta, La Cruz de Huanacaxtle on the north shore, and Boca de Tomatlán in the south. Your captain will confirm which one matches your tour at booking.

Answers, for the things you'd ask first.

Nine in ten messages we receive are some version of the questions below. Have a scroll — your answer might already be here.

Build your trip online with “Book Now”: pick your day, your boat, your hours and stops, and you see the real price as you go. To reserve you pay a 50% deposit by card on a secure payment page, and that holds your boat. The rest is paid later from your reservation page: by card up to 24 hours before departure, or by SPEI bank transfer (Mexican bank accounts only) up to 72 hours before. Prices are in Mexican pesos and include IVA.
50% depositBalance 24 h beforeCard · SPEI
It depends on how far ahead you cancel. The 50% deposit is never refunded; this is what applies to the rest.

If the port authority closes the port, or conditions don’t allow a safe trip, your trip doesn’t go out that day and we move it to another date at no cost, subject to availability. Bad weather doesn’t give a refund. If you can’t use the new date (for example, because you are leaving town), write to us and we review your case.
A swimsuit, a towel, sunglasses, and a hat with a chin strap. Wear or carry layers — the breeze offshore is cooler than you'd think. We provide reef-safe sunscreen, snorkel gear, drinking water, fresh fruit, and a soft cooler for your own drinks. Cameras are welcome; phones in waterproof pouches are sold at the dock for 80 MXN. Leave hard-soled shoes ashore.
Small. Our open-boat sailings cap at 8 guests, sport-fishing at 6, sunset sails at 10. The Marietas day cap is 8 — set by the marine park, not us. Every vessel runs with the captain plus one deckhand. If your party is larger than the cap, you're looking at a private charter — see below.
Two of our vessels — Marea and Lucida — have ramp boarding and a fixed-seat deck plan suitable for wheelchairs and reduced-mobility guests. We staff a second deckhand and adjust the itinerary to skip beaches with surf landings. Please tell us your needs in advance; we'll match you to the right captain and explain swim options honestly.
Every captain speaks Spanish and English fluently. Inés speaks Italian, Mariela speaks French, and three of our deckhands speak German. We're happy to match a language to your group when we know in advance.
Always. Half-day private charters start at $890 USD on a panga and run up to $3,400 for a full-day sail on Marea. The price covers the boat, captain, deckhand, fuel, water, fruit, and snorkel gear. You write the itinerary; we build it. Reach out two weeks in advance for high-season weekends.
From $890 USD2-week notice
Yes — most trips. We size life jackets from 9 kg up. Sport-fishing and the longer Marietas day are best for confident swimmers 8 and older; sunset sails and the food tour suit everyone. Children under 5 sail free on private charters and at half-price on group departures.
A refund goes back to the same card you paid with, through the payment processor; your bank can take several days to show it. Payments made by SPEI are returned by bank transfer, and we contact you to ask for the account details. Whether a refund applies depends on how far ahead you cancel.
Or — write at length
