Private Yacht Charter ChicaFUN 2 Waterslides All Inclusive

ChicaFUN 2 gives your group a private yacht, an open bar, water toys, and room to shape the day around Puerto Vallarta’s Bay of Banderas. You are not locked into a fixed sightseeing script, so the boat can focus on cruising, swimming, water sports, or a mix of all three. The private format is the main attraction.

I like the freedom to create your own route, and I like that the price covers far more than the boat itself: snorkel gear, kayaks, paddle boards, a water mattress, a water tube, snacks, and drinks. The crew also earns strong praise for being kind, accommodating, and fun. The main catch is the four-hour limit, which gives you time on the bay but not enough time to visit both the Marietas Islands and Yelapa Falls.

Key points at a glance

• Private yacht for up to 15 people: Your group shares the boat only with the crew, which makes the trip more relaxed and flexible.
• Custom Bay of Banderas route: You can discuss the places and activities you want rather than follow a rigid sightseeing plan.
• All-inclusive drinks and snacks: The open bar includes water, coffee, juice, soda, mineral water, beer, wine, tequila, margaritas, piña coladas, and champagne.
• Water equipment included: Snorkels, kayaks, paddle boards, a water mattress, and a water tube are provided.
• Four hours on the water: This works well for a half-day outing, but major destinations such as the Marietas Islands or Yelapa Falls require the longer seven-hour option.
• Meeting point matters: You must choose your meeting place before booking. Gil, the owner, can help with another meeting point or affordable luxury transportation.

A private boat changes the feel of a Puerto Vallarta day

The big difference here is control. On a shared excursion, the schedule and guest list are set before you arrive. With ChicaFUN 2, only your group participates, so you can use the four hours in the way that suits you best.

That could mean a slow cruise along the Puerto Vallarta coastline, time around the Bay of Banderas, or a water-sports session with the supplied equipment. The exact route is customizable, so you should think of this as a private day on the bay rather than a standard sightseeing cruise.

That distinction matters most for families, groups of friends, and celebrations. You do not need to match the pace or preferences of strangers. If some people want to paddle board while others prefer a drink and a view, the private setup makes that easier to manage.

The boat is also a practical choice for groups who want one main activity without spending a full day at sea. Four hours is long enough to make the outing feel substantial, yet short enough to fit beside other plans in Puerto Vallarta.

Setting a route around the Bay of Banderas

The tour begins in Puerto Vallarta, with the wider Bay of Banderas available for your custom plan. You will cruise along the coast and can discuss how to use your time with the captain and crew.

Because the route is not fixed in detail, you should be clear about your priorities before departure. Do you want more time for water activities? Is your group mainly interested in cruising? Are snacks, drinks, and a calm pace more important than trying every available water toy? A short conversation at the start can make the four hours work much better.

The bay gives you a useful setting for this kind of trip. You get open-water views and a change of pace from Puerto Vallarta’s streets, restaurants, and hotel areas. The boat becomes your base for the afternoon, with equipment available when you want an active break.

The limitation is simple: a four-hour charter cannot cover every major attraction. The longer seven-hour version can be planned around either the Marietas Islands or Yelapa Falls, but both destinations cannot be visited on the same day. For ChicaFUN 2, you should focus on the bay and nearby coastal time rather than expect a full-day expedition.

What the water gear adds to the outing

The included equipment gives the charter more shape than a basic boat ride. You can use snorkel equipment, kayaks, paddle boards, a water mattress, and a water tube, subject to the conditions and the crew’s instructions.

For you, the value is flexibility. A guest who wants to be active has several choices, while someone who would rather stay aboard can enjoy the views, snacks, and drinks. You are not paying extra each time someone wants to try a different water activity.

The gear is especially useful for mixed groups. One person may want to paddle board, another may prefer a kayak, and someone else may simply want to float. A private boat lets people spread out in a way that is harder on a crowded excursion.

The title also refers to two waterslides, but the supplied details do not explain their design, size, or operating setup. If the slides are a major reason for booking, ask Chica Locca Tours to confirm exactly what will be available on your departure. The confirmed equipment includes the water toys listed above.

Snorkeling is also worth clarifying in advance. Snorkel equipment is included, but the exact snorkeling location is part of the custom plan and is not specified. Your captain can help shape the route, but sea conditions and the available time will affect what is practical.

The open bar and snacks make the price easier to judge

The $1,940 price is for the group, not per person, and covers up to 15 people. That puts the maximum cost at about $129 per person if all 15 places are filled. A smaller group pays more per person, so the value depends heavily on your head count.

The food and drink package is broad. You get water, coffee, juices, sodas, mineral water, beer, wine, tequila, margaritas, piña coladas, and champagne, along with guacamole, chips, and potato chips. Brand-name alcoholic drinks are part of the open bar.

I like this arrangement for a group that wants a simple day without tracking small add-on costs. You do not have to arrange separate drinks, bring your own snacks, or pay individually for each piece of water equipment. The convenience has real value, especially for a celebration or a group with different drink preferences.

Still, do the math before booking. At the full group size, the charter can be a strong value because the boat, crew, activities, food, drinks, and facility fees are bundled together. With only a few people, the per-person cost rises quickly. In that case, compare it with other private charters and ask how much privacy and flexibility matter to you.

Gratuities are not included. They are optional, but you should budget for a tip if the crew provides the attentive service this experience is designed around.

The crew is central to the experience

A private boat trip is only as good as the crew managing it. Here, the crew and experienced captain handle the practical side of the day while helping your group make use of the boat and equipment.

The crew’s friendly, accommodating approach is one of the strongest reasons to consider this charter. That matters because a custom route requires some give and take. You need people who can listen to your preferences, explain the options, and keep the day moving without turning it into a rigid schedule.

Gil, the owner, is the named contact for special meeting-point requests and help with affordable luxury transportation. That is useful if your group is staying away from the standard pickup areas or wants help getting to the boat.

You should still communicate clearly before the trip. Tell the operator your group size, preferred meeting point, desired activities, and any important timing concerns. The more specific you are, the easier it will be to use a four-hour charter well.

Meeting points and timing require attention

Pickup is offered, but hotel pickup and drop-off are not included in the listed price. The tour has several meeting-point options, and you must choose your meeting place before submitting the reservation.

This is not a detail to leave until the morning of the trip. Your group should agree on one meeting location and allow time to reach it. The tour is near public transportation, which may help, but the exact transport plan depends on the meeting point you select.

If you need another location or want help arranging transportation, request it before booking and contact Gil. The provider says that additional meeting-point or transportation assistance may be possible, but it should be settled in advance rather than assumed.

Confirmation is received within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. That makes it wise to reserve with enough lead time, especially if you are arranging the charter for a special occasion or a large group.

The mobile ticket is convenient once your booking is confirmed. Keep the meeting details accessible on your phone and make sure everyone in your group knows where to go.

Who will get the most from ChicaFUN 2

This charter fits you best if you want privacy and control more than a fixed sightseeing program. A group of friends can use the boat as a relaxed base for drinks, snacks, swimming, and water activities. Families may appreciate being able to adjust the pace and avoid sharing the boat with strangers.

It also suits groups celebrating a birthday, reunion, or other special occasion. The private setting, open bar, and customizable route make it easier to create the kind of afternoon your group wants.

The tour is also a good match for people who want several activities in one outing. You can cruise, try paddle boards or kayaks, use the floating equipment, and take breaks without changing locations or booking separate activities.

You may want another option if your main goal is a full-day visit to a distant attraction. The four-hour version is not designed to cover both the Marietas Islands and Yelapa Falls. Even on the seven-hour option, those two destinations cannot be combined in one day.

The tour is listed as suitable for most participants, but you should consider your group’s comfort with boat travel and water activities. Anyone who plans to use the equipment should follow the captain and crew’s instructions.

What is not included in the package

The all-inclusive label covers the boat, listed activities, drinks, snacks, landing and facility fees, and use of the water equipment. It does not cover hotel pickup and drop-off, souvenir photos, or gratuities.

Souvenir photos are available for purchase. If you want photographs, treat them as an optional extra rather than part of the package price.

The most important excluded item is transportation to and from the meeting point. Since several meeting points are available, check this before you finalize the booking. A private boat day can lose some of its convenience if your group has not worked out how to reach the dock.

Cancellation and booking advice

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the experience start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before departure are not refunded, and changes within that period are not accepted.

The cut-off follows local Puerto Vallarta time. If your plans are still uncertain, keep that deadline in mind before making last-minute changes.

Because confirmation is subject to availability and can take up to 48 hours, do not treat an initial reservation request as the final word until you receive confirmation. Choose the meeting point during booking and contact the operator early if you need transportation help.

Should you book this private yacht charter?

Book ChicaFUN 2 if your group values a private boat, a flexible route, and a wide package of drinks and water equipment. The strongest value comes with a larger group, especially close to the 15-person limit, because the $1,940 price is shared across the group.

I would choose it for a half-day celebration, a friends’ outing, or a family group that wants to set its own pace. I would not choose the four-hour version if your top priority is reaching both major day-trip destinations. In that case, ask about the seven-hour option and decide between the Marietas Islands and Yelapa Falls.

Before paying, confirm the meeting point, ask about the waterslides if they are important to you, and tell the operator which activities matter most. If those details fit your plans, ChicaFUN 2 offers a practical private day on the Bay of Banderas with the crew, food, drinks, and gear handled in one booking.
