55′ Sea Ray

Some yachts feel like a rental. The 55′ Sea Ray feels like a private escape. With luxurious finishes throughout, an open-concept layout inside and out, and four private bedrooms, this 55′ Sea Ray model is the boutique choice for a luxury overnight yacht charter in Puerto Vallarta — premium comfort without the flagship price tag. Charters start at $3,900 USD for four hours, with six-hour ($4,500) and eight-hour ($5,300) options, welcoming 12 guests as standard and up to 15. Departing from Marina Vallarta, the 55′ Sea Ray is built for couples, small friend groups, and families who want an elegant, unhurried day (or night) on Banderas Bay.

Step aboard and the difference is immediate. Rich, luxurious finishes run through every space, while the open concept layout blends the indoor salon with the outdoor deck so the ocean is never more than a few steps away. Guests can flow freely between the air-conditioned interior, the shaded aft seating, and the sunny bow — one continuous living space on the water. Four comfortable bedrooms make this classic 55′ Sea Ray genuinely suited to overnight charters, giving your group a real night at sea rather than a rushed day trip, with space to unwind in complete privacy.

The onboard catering leans into Puerto Vallarta’s coastal flavors on every 55′ Sea Ray voyage. Your charter includes fresh guacamole with chips, a full kilogram of freshly prepared ceviche, and a fruit and bread tray — light, bright, and perfect for a day on the water. Drinks flow all day: water and ice, sodas, and juices, plus 24 beers and full bottles of rum, tequila, and vodka for your own cocktails as the sun goes down. It is a generous, well-balanced spread that keeps everyone happy from boarding to the final cruise home.

An overnight aboard unlocks Banderas Bay at its most beautiful. Watch the sky burn orange over the Sierra Madre from the open deck, then count the stars far from the city lights, and wake to coffee and calm water in a quiet cove. It is the kind of experience that day charters simply cannot deliver — and the 55′ Sea Ray makes it attainable, combining premium finishes with a price point small groups can actually justify.

Every charter is completely private, so the itinerary belongs to your group. Cruise the Puerto Vallarta coastline with the skyline behind you, drop anchor for a swim in a hidden cove, or simply drift while music plays and the drinks circulate aboard the 55′ Sea Ray. The professional bilingual crew handles the navigation, the service, and the safety, leaving you free to enjoy every minute without lifting a finger.

Pricing is transparent and simple. Additional guests beyond the standard 12 are just $80 each, up to a maximum of 15, so the budget flexes with your guest list. The only exclusions are listed up front: transaction fees, customary crew gratuities, and any pickup from a marina other than Marina Vallarta. The rate you see is the rate you pay.
