Keldon and Kelly were incredible hosts,  friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran so smoothly. The yacht was spotless, and they took us to the best spots for swimming and relaxing. The birthday surprise was really unexpected but a really thoughtful touch that was added by them. Everything felt easy and well organized from start to finish. Would definitely book with them again next time I’m in Puerto Vallarta.

Viajamos a Puerto Vallarta desde Guadalajara unas tres veces al año, y alquilar un bote para pasar el día ya es una tradición para nosotros. Esta vez, sin duda, fue una de las mejores experiencias. Tuvimos la suerte de ver delfines, tortugas e incluso un pulpo cuando nuestros hijos hicieron snorkel, fue algo increíble! La tripulación fue súper amable y todo estuvo perfectamente organizado. Cada visita a Puerto Vallarta es especial, pero esta fue realmente inolvidable.

She was so helpful from reservation all the way to the trip on the charter . She went the extra mile and had a beautiful surprise for the bride to be and the rest of the girls! The crew on the ship was excellent ! Very helpful, serving food and drinks the whole time! I’d recommend them 100%!!

Even the most low key group members were gushing on and on about how incredible the charter was. The staff were playful, attentive, gracious and also somehow always made us feel as if we had the boat all to ourselves! Kelly was so responsive with communication and went above and beyond to make the charter so special. It was just beyond beyond what we imagined.
