THE VESSEL
Kept small, on purpose
This is the yacht we reach for when the guest list is short and known by heart — an anniversary for two, a family of four, six friends who want the bay without an audience. Below deck, a resting berth and a U-shaped sofa around a converting table. Behind the captain, a shaded seating area where lunch is served at anchor. Above, a small central staircase leads to a cushioned sundeck: two at full stretch, three sitting close.
An open-air vessel — no air conditioning, and none missed under way; the bay's breeze moves through every seat, and the shaded berth below holds the warmest hour. Personally inspected before every charter, with the partner crew briefed on your day before you reach the dock.
THE HONEST SCALE
What will not happen on this yacht
There is no party deck. There is no second conversation somewhere else on board. There is no chef's galley — the table is dressed before you board instead.
A vessel scaled to one table, one sundeck, and one afternoon that belongs entirely to your party — whether that is two of you or eight. Eight guests who want a dance floor should be on a different yacht, and we will tell you so.

SIGNATURE CATERING
The table is set before you board
Your choice of drinks, fresh guacamole and totopos, an exotic fruit platter, and a brunch board or charcuterie — cold service, composed to your preferences and confirmed before the day. Children's menus on request.
A private chef cannot be added — the galley is too small for live cooking. For a plated dinner at anchor, vessel 1L7 holds the table.
ON BOARD
Water toys, ready on deck
→ Snorkel sets for every guest
→ Stand-up paddle board
→ Light trolling rods — for the ride, not the tournament
→ Fresh towels and guest comfort essentials
A DAY ON THE WATER
How six hours tend to unfold
10:00
Paradise Village
You are met at the home dock in Nuevo Vallarta. The vessel is inspected, the table is dressed, the crew already knows your plan.
10:30
Los Arcos, at an easy pace
The granite arches rise from the water as the coast slides by. This is a vessel that cruises rather than races — the ride is part of the day.
12:15
Anchored at Las Ánimas
Lunch is brought to the yacht at anchor, or a table is set for you on the beach — either way, you never queue. Or Quimixto, one cove further, when you want fewer footprints in the sand.
14:30
The slow return
The sundeck on the ride home, music low, the bay opening back toward Nuevo Vallarta.
With eight hours, the day reaches Yelapa — lunch ashore in the town only reachable by sea. Every itinerary is composed with you.

THE SMALL YACHTS
Three vessels, one scale of day
2RO is one of three small yachts in the collection, each with its own character and the same standard of care. If this one is spoken for on your date — or you want a different feel for the same kind of day — its sisters are ready.

BEFORE YOU ASK
Answered, plainly
How much does it cost to charter a small yacht in Puerto Vallarta?
Rates for this 30 ft motoryacht begin at 1,800 USD for four hours with up to three guests, and reach 3,500 USD for eight hours with up to eight. Every rate includes the licensed partner crew, Signature Catering, water toys, and IVA — the figure you see is the figure you pay.
Is a 30 ft yacht comfortable on Bahía de Banderas?
Yes. The bay is protected water, and this vessel is composed for it — a shaded seating area behind the captain, a cushioned sundeck above, and a resting berth below for the warmest hour. From a couple to a party of eight, the whole vessel answers to one table.
Where do we board?
At Paradise Village in Nuevo Vallarta, at no charge — this is the vessel’s home dock. If boarding closer to your hotel is easier — Marina Puerto Vallarta, La Cruz, the Romantic Zone, Mismaloya, or Punta de Mita — we reposition the vessel for a stated fee, shown above.
Is this yacht right for children?
From 4 years on. Life vests come in children’s sizes and a children’s menu is available on request. For younger children the vessel is simply too compact — there is no safe space to crawl — and we will say so rather than book a day that will not work.
Can we bring our dog?
Small dogs are welcome on this vessel — one of the few in the collection where they are. Tell us when you inquire and we plan the day with your dog in mind, including shade and fresh water on deck.
Can we have a private chef on board?
No — the galley is too small for live cooking, and we would rather tell you that than promise a dinner that cannot be served well. Signature Catering is set before you board; for a plated chef dinner at anchor, vessel 1L7 is composed for exactly that.
How do I reserve?
Begin your inquiry and I reply with a considered plan for your day. A 50% deposit confirms the reservation; the balance is settled seven days before departure.
BEGIN YOUR INQUIRY

One bilingual point of contact composes your day on the water — from first message to the dock. Tell us the occasion and we will reply with a quiet, considered plan.
A 50% deposit confirms the reservation; if the captain calls off for weather, you reschedule at no cost or receive a refund less the administration fee.
