Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Based on the West coast of mainland Mexico between Mazatlán and Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta is a colonial town nestled at the base of a scenic mountain range at the head of a stunning Bay.

Puerto Vallarta itself is a beautiful city, backed by the spectacular Sierra Madres mountain range to the south and tucked deep into the beautiful Banderas Bay. Now a popular vacation destination, the old town retains all of it’s original charm with restaurants and shops lining cobblestone streets and wide boardwalk boasting spectacular views into the Pacific. The long sandy beaches play host to a variety of modern resorts, and at the same time, there are ample opportunities to ‘get away from it all’ up and down the coast.

Puerto Vallarta has long been a favorite destination for sailors. The beautiful Banderas Bay blessed with fantastic sailing conditions, wonderful scenery, and an astounding amount of wildlife. Largely a winter sailing destination (October to May of each year), the conditions call for shorts and t-shirts all winter long.  The consistent breezes are the stuff sailing dreams are made of. Add the spectacular scenic backdrop and a bay teeming with wildlife (whales, dolphins, sea turtles, rays, etc. etc.) and you have a world class experience.
