The Experience
Before You Go
Choose your meeting point ahead of time
Confirm the exact marina dock or beach pickup when you book to avoid delays; Marina Vallarta has multiple piers and parking areas.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect coral and marine life by using reef-safe sunscreen and reapplying after swimming; the crew will appreciate it too.
Bring a lightweight wind layer
Afternoon sea breezes can be cool—pack a light jacket to stay comfortable during open-deck cruising.
Secure a dry bag for valuables
Keep phones, wallets, and cameras in a dry bag during water activities and when using the jet ski.
