How far in advance should I book my Puerto Vallarta yacht charter?

Most guests book 2–4 weeks in advance, especially for weekends and holidays. Last‑minute bookings are welcome, subject to yacht and crew availability.

How is pricing determined for private yacht charters?

Rates are based on yacht size, charter duration, and season. Pricing is per yacht, not per person, and includes crew, fuel within the bay, and standard amenities.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit cards, bank transfers, and secure online payments. A deposit is required to confirm your reservation, with the balance due before departure.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellations made within the agreed notice period receive a partial or full refund. Late cancellations or no‑shows may forfeit the deposit. Full terms are provided at booking.

Yes, rescheduling is usually possible with advance notice and subject to availability. Weather‑related reschedules are handled flexibly to keep your experience safe and enjoyable.

Bring swimwear, a light cover‑up, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and any personal medications. You may also bring your preferred snacks or drinks if allowed for your specific yacht.

How do you ensure safety on board?

All yachts meet local maritime safety regulations and carry life jackets and safety equipment. Experienced, licensed crew monitor weather and sea conditions throughout your charter.
