42′ Royal Blue

Discover the effortless charm of a private yacht rental in Puerto Vallarta aboard the 42? Royal Blue, a compact but stylish luxury yacht made for small groups who value comfort, connection, and a laid-back day on the water. Departing from Nuevo Marina and cruising the sparkling expanse of Banderas Bay, this 42-foot gem is the perfect choice for intimate celebrations, family outings, birthday gatherings, or a carefree adventure with close friends. With space for up to 10 guests, Royal Blue hits the sweet spot — roomy enough for everyone to spread out, cozy enough to keep the whole group connected from first toast to final cruise home.

There is a certain charm to the 42? Royal Blue, the kind of boat that feels instantly comfortable the moment you step aboard. Not too big, not too formal, and definitely not overwhelming, it delivers a relaxed, memorable day exploring the waters of Puerto Vallarta without a single ounce of pretension. The layout is thoughtfully arranged for social days at sea: lounge on the bow with the sun on your face, retreat to the shaded cockpit when the afternoon warms up, or settle into one of the eight onboard beds if the mood for a quiet nap strikes. Every area invites you to unwind, which is exactly the point.

What guests appreciate most about Royal Blue is how smooth and easygoing the day feels. The yacht is comfortable, stable, and perfectly sized for groups who want a balanced mix of adventure and relaxation. Your professional crew handles everything — navigation, service, safety, and pacing — so you never have to think about a thing. Whether the day calls for sunbathing, swimming, celebrating, or simply taking in the coastline views with music playing, the experience unfolds naturally into something genuinely memorable.

Every Royal Blue charter comes generously stocked for the day. Onboard you will find beer, sodas, and juices flowing from the start, alongside chips and salsa, a fresh fruit platter, a meat platter, and a bottle of tequila for those celebratory moments. It is everything a small group needs to relax and enjoy the ocean without lifting a finger — and if you are celebrating something special, the Palmara team is happy to add festive touches that make the occasion unmistakably yours.

Departing from Nuevo Marina positions you perfectly to explore the very best of Banderas Bay. Snorkel in crystal-clear waters, discover hidden beaches accessible only by boat, or simply cruise along Puerto Vallarta’s stunning coastline with drinks in hand. Popular stops include the protected marine sanctuary of Los Arcos, the secluded coves of Colomitos and Majahuitas, and the remote beach village of Yelapa, where a waterfall hike waits ashore. In winter months, keep your eyes on the horizon — humpback whales are a frequent and breathtaking bonus.

Flexibility defines the Royal Blue experience. Choose a four-hour morning or sunset cruise, a six-hour midday adventure, or a full eight-hour day packed with swimming, snorkeling, and beach-hopping. Charters start at $2,500 USD, with transparent pricing and no hidden dock fees — the rate you see is the rate you pay. Optional add-ons such as upgraded pickup locations are available on request, and every booking is protected by secure SSL-encrypted payments with friendly bilingual support in both English and Spanish.
