Set sail across the golden waters of Banderas Bay as the Sierra Madre glows at dusk — one of Mexico's most spectacular sunsets, best witnessed from the deck of a premium catamaran with dolphins riding the bow wave.
What to expect
Step aboard a sleek catamaran at Marina Vallarta as the afternoon heat softens and the bay shimmers copper and rose. Crew actively scan for dolphin pods and, in season, humpback whales breaching against the mountain backdrop. The premium open bar serves craft cocktails and cold cerveza while a live guitarist sets the mood. The city lights of Puerto Vallarta glitter as you glide back into the marina at nightfall.
Good to know
Sunset departures are typically 5:30–6 pm, returning around 8–9 pm — confirm your ship's all-aboard time before booking, as late-night sailings suit ships overnighting in port. Marina Vallarta is 10 minutes by taxi from the cruise terminal. Light layers for the evening breeze are advised.
