Sailing Tours in Puerto Vallarta: FAQ
Is Banderas Bay good for sailing?
It is one of the best sailing bays on the Pacific coast of Mexico: protected from big swells, with a reliable afternoon sea breeze of 10–15 knots from roughly December to May and flat, warm water. That is why the Marina Vallarta and La Cruz marinas fill with cruising yachts every winter.
Will I get seasick on a sailing tour in Puerto Vallarta?
Rarely inside the bay. Sailboats heel but do not pound like motorboats, and mornings are glassy. If you are sensitive, pick the morning half-day sail, sit mid-ship, look at the horizon and take a non-drowsy tablet an hour before. Sunset sails have the most wind and the most fun for people who like to feel the boat move.
What is the difference between a sailing tour and a catamaran party cruise?
A sailing tour uses a monohull or small catamaran with sails up, a small group (usually under 12) and a captain who will let you take the helm. Party catamarans are large motor-sailers with 50–100 guests, music and an open bar. Both are fun; they are simply different days on the water.
