Mega Yacht Limousine of the Sea 1: Puerto Vallarta

The best part of the Mega Yacht Limousine of the Sea 1 is the freedom to make the day your own. You cruise Puerto Vallarta’s coast and Banderas Bay on a private yacht, then choose how much time goes to swimming, water toys, sightseeing, drinks, or a beach stop at Playa Chica Locca.

I like the brand-name open bar, which covers everything from coffee and juice to beer, wine, tequila, champagne, margaritas, and piña coladas. I also like the fresh ceviche, guacamole, and blue corn chips served on board. The main catch is the price: $6,455 for up to 15 people is good value for a full group, but hard to justify for a small party.

Key Points

• Private yacht for up to 15 people: Your group has the boat to itself, with a route shaped around your interests.
• Four hours on Banderas Bay: The cruise combines coastline views, open water, swimming, and a possible beach visit.
• Two hours at Playa Chica Locca: This boat-only beach stop offers food, drinks, and time away from town.
• Open bar with plenty of choice: Water, coffee, juices, sodas, mineral water, beer, wine, tequila, champagne, margaritas, and piña coladas are included.
• Water fun is included: Snorkel gear, kayaks, paddle boards, a water mattress, and a water tube are available.
• Strong fit for celebrations: Weddings, pre-wedding parties, birthdays, and family groups can make good use of the private format.

A Private Yacht Day Built Around Your Group

This is not a fixed sightseeing trip with a rigid schedule. Chica Locca Tours lets you customize your private outing around Banderas Bay, with the captain and crew handling the practical side of the day.

That flexibility matters. One group may want a lively party with music, cocktails, and repeated swims. Another may prefer a quieter run along the coast with time at Playa Chica Locca. You can discuss the plan with Gil, the owner, before the boat leaves.

The advertised experience lasts about four hours and is offered in English. Pickup is available as an option, but hotel transportation is not included in the price. You must choose a meeting place before completing the reservation, so do not leave that detail until the last minute.

The yacht is private for your party, with capacity listed at up to 15 people. That makes the experience especially useful for a small wedding group, a family gathering, or friends who want control over the mood and route.

Cruising Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay

The first part of the outing is the cruise itself. You travel along the Puerto Vallarta coastline and around Banderas Bay, one of the area’s main pleasures because the scenery is best appreciated from the water.

There is no single sightseeing route promised here. That is part of the appeal, but it also means you should speak with the operator about your priorities. If you want a beach stop, swimming time, wildlife viewing, or a party-focused route, say so before departure.

The crew includes an experienced captain and onboard staff who keep an eye on drinks, food, and water activities. The service style is attentive rather than hands-off. You can expect staff to check on your group and help keep the day moving.

Music can also shape the outing. Past celebrations used onboard music and a lively host named Ricky, who handled the microphone and kept the energy up. Your exact crew may differ, but the company clearly caters well to groups that want music and a social atmosphere.

You may also see whales during the right season. Sightings are not guaranteed, but whale watching has been part of past cruises, with the guide stopping when animals were spotted. If wildlife is a priority, ask about seasonal conditions when planning your date.

Playa Chica Locca, the Two-Hour Beach Stop

The listed itinerary includes about two hours at Playa Chica Locca, a secluded beach reachable only by boat. This is where the excursion shifts from yacht outing to private beach day.

The setting is designed for simple pleasures: time on the sand, food, drinks, and a break from the steady movement of the boat. You can use this stop to slow down, swim, or spend time with your group without the noise and traffic of a public resort area.

The beach is not presented as a shopping stop or a town visit. That is good news if you want peace and a private setting. It is less useful if you want restaurants, shops, or local sightseeing.

The two-hour allocation is also worth noting. On a four-hour trip, half the outing may be spent at the beach if the schedule follows the advertised plan. That leaves roughly two hours for the cruise and water activities, although the exact timing can be customized.

Ask how much time you want at Playa Chica Locca before leaving the marina. If everyone in your group is excited about kayaks and paddle boards, you may not want to spend the full two hours ashore. If your group includes people who prefer a chair, a drink, and a quiet coastline, the beach stop may be the day’s best feature.

Food and the Open Bar

The included food is straightforward and well suited to a boat day. Fresh ceviche, guacamole, and blue corn chips are listed as snacks. Ceviche gives you something cool and savory after time in the sun, while guacamole and chips are easy to share without interrupting the action.

The open bar is a major part of the value. It includes water, coffee, juices, sodas, mineral water, beer, wine, tequila, champagne, margaritas, piña coladas, and other drinks you select from the available choices.

That range works for mixed groups. People who do not drink alcohol have plenty of options, while those celebrating can order cocktails or champagne. You are not locked into one basic drink package.

Past outings connected with the company have also included meals such as fruit, muffins, and fajitas, but you should not assume those items are included in this particular booking. The stated food for this experience is ceviche, guacamole, and chips. Confirm any desired meal upgrade before you reserve.

The crew’s drink service is one of the small touches that can make a private yacht day feel special. Accounts of the experience describe staff bringing drinks to people in the water, though you should treat that as a possible service detail rather than a guaranteed feature.

Water Activities Included in the Price

You do not need to pay separately for the main water toys. The package includes snorkel equipment, kayaks, paddle boards, a water mattress, and a water tube.

This gives your group several ways to use the boat. Snorkeling suits people who want to look below the surface. Paddle boards and kayaks offer a little more movement without requiring a high level of athletic skill. The water mattress is better for floating, and the tube adds a more playful option.

You can also jump directly into the water when the boat anchors in a suitable area. Past parties made a full event of swimming, using the slide and water toys, then returning to the boat for food and drinks.

The listing does not promise a particular snorkeling site, water depth, or marine life. Conditions in the bay can affect what is practical on the day. If your group includes children or anyone who is not a confident swimmer, ask the crew about the planned swimming area and available safety support.

The activities are included, but they are not mandatory. Someone who would rather sit on the sun deck with a drink can do that while others paddle or swim.

Sun Decks, Facilities, and the Feel On Board

The yacht has sun decks and luxury amenities intended for a relaxed, social day. You can switch between sun and shade, watch the coast, eat, drink, and join the activities at your own pace.

Bathrooms are available on board, an important detail for a four-hour trip. The boat is described as clean, and staff are available throughout the outing.

One practical point deserves attention: the exact yacht may not look identical to the pictures used in promotional material. A past booking involved a vessel that differed from the displayed images, though it was still described as large and well equipped.

That does not automatically make the experience poor. It does mean you should ask which yacht is assigned to your date, especially if appearance, seating, or a particular feature matters to your group. Yacht changes can happen, and the operator has used more than one vessel for different group sizes and events.

What the Price Means for Value

The price is $6,455 per group, with up to 15 people included. At full capacity, that works out to about $430 per person.

That is a serious cost, but the calculation changes when you consider what is included: a private yacht, captain and crew, drinks, food, water equipment, landing and facility fees, and the ability to shape the day around your own group.

For a wedding party or milestone celebration, the price may compare well with arranging separate meals, drinks, transport, boat seats, and activities for 15 people. The private format also removes the need to share music, seating, and swimming time with strangers.

For two people or a small family, the value is much weaker. You are paying for the whole boat, not individual seats. This experience makes the most financial sense when you can fill most of the 15-person capacity.

The price also requires careful comparison with other Chica Locca options. The company operates boats and packages for different group sizes, and the yacht shown in a booking may not be the one you first saw online. Confirm capacity, food, route, and vessel before paying.

Who Will Enjoy This Most

I would recommend this outing first to groups that want a private celebration rather than a quiet sightseeing cruise. Weddings, pre-wedding events, birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, and friend groups can use the boat’s size and flexible format well.

It also suits a mixed group. People who want to swim or use the water toys can do so, while others can stay on deck with a drink and watch the coastline.

Families may appreciate the private setting because the group can decide the pace. Still, parents should ask about the planned swimming area and supervise children around the boat and water equipment.

This is not the best pick if your main goal is a detailed cultural tour, a long stop in a local town, or a low-cost boat ride. The focus is the sea, food, drinks, water play, and time together.

It is also not ideal for anyone who dislikes loud music or party energy. The crew can help create a relaxed day, but the company has a strong record with lively wedding and celebration groups. Tell Gil what mood you want when arranging the trip.

Booking Details That Matter

Confirmation is sent within 48 hours, subject to availability. The experience is often booked well ahead, with an average booking lead time of about 93 days, so major celebrations should be planned early.

Pickup can be offered, but hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. If you need help reaching the meeting point, contact Gil about transportation options. You must select your meeting place before submitting the reservation.

The tour is offered in English, and it is near public transportation. Most people can participate, though the operator does not provide more specific accessibility details in the information supplied.

The booking is non-refundable and cannot be changed for any reason. That makes it especially important to confirm your date, meeting place, group size, and yacht details before paying.

Should You Book Limousine of the Sea 1?

Book it if you have a group large enough to share the cost and you want a private Puerto Vallarta day built around your own people. The combination of a flexible route, open bar, fresh ceviche and guacamole, water toys, and a two-hour beach stop gives you plenty to do without arranging separate activities.

I would be more cautious if your group is small or if you expect the exact yacht shown in the pictures. Confirm the assigned vessel and included food first. If you want a celebration with swimming, music, drinks, and a secluded beach, this is a strong choice. If you want a quiet coastal tour at the lowest possible price, choose a shared boat instead.
