Many Puerto Vallarta visitors take a conventional approach to experiencing the Banderas Bay, with a day on the sand topped off with a sunset cocktail (or two). However, boasting nearly 100 kilometers of Pacific coastline, the best views of Puerto Vallarta are found on the water.
There are various boating options for visitors to the bay, but many involve a “cookie cutter” experience with loads of other tourists on board. Fortunately, value seekers can pay a bit more and enjoy a fully customized, one of a kind, luxury experience through a private yacht charter on “The Mondrian” operated by Mondrian Yacht Charters.
Operating since 2007 and based in idyllic Punta de Mita, Mondrian Yacht Charters offers their guests a truly exclusive and high-end, personalized experience.
“When someone books with Mondrian Yacht Charters, they’re choosing a specialized product, tailored to their preferences,” Mondrian Yacht Charters owner Jay Levitt told PV Pulse in a recent interview. “Many of our customers return each time they’re in Banderas Bay, so we get to know their tastes and cater accordingly. It’s almost like they own their own personal yacht in Banderas Bay.”

All charters include an ample selection of premium beverages, in addition to an array of freshly-prepared gourmet food. “We have an on-board chef and culinary team,” Levitt confirms. “Starters are tray-passed throughout the day, usually followed by a robust, sit-down meal and topped with an assortment of hand-made desserts.”
Once onboard, guests are free to relax and enjoy, fully secure in the knowledge that they are being hosted by a professional, experienced, fully-bilingual crew that is dedicated to making their day perfect.

Mondrian Yacht Charters’ Packages
Mondrian Yacht Charters offers a variety of charter experience packages to suit the needs of Puerto Vallarta / Punta Mita visitors and residents. The most popular packages provide quarter day, half day, or full day experiences*.
The Mondrian Yacht Charter quarter day or 3-hour experience packages are designed for guests who desire a sampling of the bay, whether during day light hours for a sea life exploration / whale watching experience or an evening sunset cruise. In both cases, guests will enjoy refreshing beverages and an assortment of gourmet hors d’oeuvres while getting a taste of the Banderas Bay.
For a more time on the bay, Mondrian Yacht Charters half day or 5-hour experience packages offer a chance to explore the enchanting Punta Mita coast line or the wonders of Las Marietas Islands. Such experiences include whale watching or sea life exploration, water activities, and a sumptuous lunch served on the decks of The Mondrian.
Mondrian Yacht Charters’ most popular package is a full day or 8-hour charter, which offers an in-depth Banderas Bay experience and south side excursion. Guests can enjoy the spectacular Puerto Vallarta coast line and such landmarks as Los Arcos underwater park. The experience features anchorage at one of the lush and tropical “south bay” coves (i.e., Las Majahuitas, Boca Tomatlan, Yelepa, etc.) for a day of snorkeling, swimming, gourmet food and beverage, and water toy fun.
*In addition to these popular package offerings, Mondrian Yacht Charters can also design custom experiences for your next corporate retreat, wedding party, birthday or anniversary celebration, photo shoot, or family reunion. The possibilities for luxury and adventure are limitless.
The Best Value on the Bay
Due to yachting’s reputation of exclusivity, Mondrian Yacht Charters remains a bit of a best-kept secret – for now. “Consider how much it would cost to rent a jet-ski for an hour. Now think about getting it delivered to your hotel for part of a day or longer. Then add in food, beverages, and a pristine, custom yachting experience,” Levitt says. “When you factor in everything that’s already built into our packages, this may well be the best value on the Bay.”
Docked near exclusive Punta Mita area resorts and developments like Four Seasons Punta Mita, St. Regis Punta Mita, Imanta, Rosewood Celeste, Real del Mar, Exclusive Resorts, Los Veneros, and Costa Banderas, The Mondrian is just minutes away from North shore locations. Convenient boarding arrangements can also be made for Nuevo Vallarta and “Southside” dwellers near such resorts as Grand Mayan, Grand Velas, Casa Velas, Villa La Estancia, Westin Resort and Spa, Casa Magna Marriott, and Garza Blanca.
