Terrific crew, beautiful yacht and a great day out on the water. - Fourteen family members chartered this yacht for a Celebration of Life for my husband. It was a tremendous experience from start to finish. The crew is very helpful and friendly. We were able to choose our own trip across the Bay of Banderas and taken on a great snorkeling trip at Los Arcos.
Highly recommend!

We had the most incredible experience on our yacht charter in Puerto Vallarta! - We had the most incredible experience on our yacht charter in Puerto Vallarta! The crew — Nico, Ernesto, and Hugo — went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the service was exceptional from start to finish.
Ernesto was especially amazing — so knowledgeable about the area and marine life, and he even got in the water with us to guide and make sure we had the best experience possible. His kindness and enthusiasm truly stood out and made the trip even more special.
Everything exceeded our expectations — from the comfort of the yacht to the attention to detail and the fun, welcoming atmosphere the crew created. It was easily the highlight of our trip to Puerto Vallarta. Highly recommend booking with them — you won’t regret it!

Fantastic Voyage through the Bay - We booked the Los Arcos Snorkeling & El Paredón Tour
on "Escandalo" for my 40th birthday and the crew was fantastic. We had a great time cruising the bay, with delicious drinks and freshly made snacks. While the water conditions were a bit murky from the recent rains, our guide took us snorkeling through the cave and safely back to the yacht. Highly recommend this yacht and crew for your next adventure!

Phenomenal!!!! - Words can’t even describe what an amazing day we had. The entire day was flawless from beginning to end. The food was so fresh, the ceviche was top notch, even the end of the day sandwich was so fresh and perfect. The drinks were perfectly mixed, cold and brought right to you. Phil and his crew made this the best yacht cruise we have taken - and we have done a lot of charters in PV.

Fantastic Private charter - Phillip and his crew were wonderful! We had a fantastic day celebrating my wife's birthday with open bar and lunch served by an attentive crew. We also had a guide for snorkeling at Los Arcos that put everyone at ease for an enjoyable event. This was my second charter with Phillip, and I look forward to the next time. I highly recommend this crew.

Highly recommend !!!! - Escandalo is the best luxury cruising vessel in PV. The crew, Carlos and Victor know how to make the experience special. The drinks, food and ambience is the best.

Luxury on the water - I have had the pleasure of being on a few boat excursions over the years. This boat is definitely my favorite, as such I’ve been on it more than once. It’s extremely comfortable, the captain and deckhand are both very friendly and knowledgeable. The captain speaks fluent English, and is very familiar with the area and the whales! So, if you want to know a little bit about PV, he makes it a very interesting ride.
The boat itself has a few areas that you can sit in. The front is nice, because you have an amazing view, and the cushions are very comfortable and clean, they look & feel brand new. The covered area is nice too if you don’t want to be in the direct sunlight for the duration of the trip. The other areas include the interior, the back & up in the area with the captain.
When you first get on the boat, the interior is also stunning. While the boat runs, it seems like the air conditioning is also running, so there’s that option if it’s a hot day out on the water and you want to cool off inside. It has a fridge & freezer in case you want to bring anything, I didn’t because they provided plenty of drinks, alcoholic & non alcoholic & bottled water plus snacks, etc. There’s a nice seating area plus a dining area that seats 4.
It also has a really nice bathroom and there are bedrooms you can use to change and put your things in.
I’ve been on another boat excursion recently (booked by friends) and I felt a bit disappointed because I’d become accustomed to this one….you’ll definitely feel like you’re spoiling yourself on this boat. If you like a little luxury in your life, this will not disappoint.
