*Please be mindful of Marina pick up information.  The Puerto Vallarta Marinas charge a $25.50 peso entry fee per person and it is advisable to arrive at the Marina 40 minutes prior to boat departure to ensure you find your correct dock and boat.  Most tours leave from the API Marina Terminal.  But there are a few specific tours that have options for pick up at the Nuevo Vallarta Marina or from the Los Muertos Pier in Old Town.  Many private fishing boats also leave from the smaller Los Peines Marina Terminal in PV.  In the northern part of the bay, some tours may leave from La Cruz Marina or Punta Mita.  Please be mindful of which Marina you are departing from, your tour name, dock # or boat name and arrive in advance. 

 

 

 

 

Bottom line – Be prepared, and HAVE FUN!!!
