Great Time on the Water - Really fun time on the water. The sunset was great and we saw lots of whales. Great drinks and great staff! I really enjoyed that the beverages offered on this tour were high quality brands and the boat staff accommodated preferences. This really sets Chica Locca apart from other tour operators which offer similar activities.

unacceptable responsibility and safety management - The yacht staff were friendly and served drinks, but I wish I could give a negative star due to serious safety failures. A transfer boat took us from Nuevo Vallarta. Boarding the yacht in open water was difficult, but at least a couple of ropes were used at that time. The return transfer was unsafe. The boat was not positioned on the calmer side, no ropes were used, and waves were about 2 feet high. Guests were expected to jump into a moving transfer boat with only one staff member offering a hand. I attempted twice to board. My friend fell into the ocean. Despite this, no staff provided assistance—only other guests helped. No staff checked for injuries afterward, even though my friend’s knee was visibly bleeding. This transfer process showed a lack of proper safety procedures, especially for seniors, youth, or non-swimmers, and reflects unacceptable responsibility and safety management.
