PLAN YOUR EXPERIENCE
Plan your private yacht experience in Puerto Vallarta.
Every inquiry is read and answered by Oksana, Boat and Bay's founder — the same person who selects your vessel, briefs the partner crew, and greets you at the dock.
START HERE
Tell me about the day you have in mind.
A few lines are enough — the details take shape in conversation. Private charters begin at 1,700 USD for three guests, IVA included, and rise with vessel and hours.
For longer notes, links, and anything you would rather write once.
WHATSAPP OR CALL
If your date is very close, or you would rather speak first, Oksana is reachable here as well. The form or an email remains the surest way to have every detail of your day in one place.

Replies come personally, usually the same day.
AFTER YOU WRITE
What happens next
1
A personal reply
Oksana answers — usually the same day, often within hours — with a question or two of her own about your group and your day.
2
A small, deliberate selection
You will not be handed a list of thirty boats. You receive the one, two, or three vessels that suit your occasion, with clear pricing and a plain list of what is included.
3
Your date, secured
Written terms arrive before any deposit is asked. When you are ready, a deposit holds the date — and the preparation begins.
A registered Mexican business
Proper IVA invoicing, credit cards accepted without hidden fees, and fair, prompt payment to every partner crew and vendor.
Terms before any deposit
Cancellation, weather, and payment terms are written, plain, and sent to you before you commit to anything.
A limited calendar
A small number of charters each week, by design. If your date is available, it is yours. If it is not, you will hear it honestly.
BEFORE YOU WRITE
Questions guests often start with
Do I need to know which yacht I want?
No. Tell me about your group and your occasion; she selects from a curated list of vetted vessels across Puerto Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, and Punta de Mita. Choosing well is my job, not yours.
How far in advance should I write?
For milestone occasions in high season, two to six weeks gives the widest choice of vessels and chefs. For a simpler day on the water, a few days is often enough. If your date is very close, a WhatsApp message can reach Oksana fastest — otherwise the form or an email is the surest start.
Can we speak before I decide anything?
Yes. Send the form or a short email first, and a call can be arranged from there — in English, Spanish, French, or German. There is no obligation attached to a conversation.
What does a private charter cost?
Private charters begin at 1,700 USD for three guests, IVA included, and rise with vessel, season, and hours. Every quote itemizes the vessel, the hours, and any additions before you confirm — never after.
"Tell me who is coming and what the day is for. The rest — the vessel, the crew briefing, the chef, the timing — is my work. That is what you are writing to begin."
