Catamaran 72 Event Charter in Puerto Vallarta
A 72-foot event catamaran for groups of 55 to 150, with a bar, four restrooms, a sound system and a crew of six alongside the captain.
Overview
Built for the big celebration
The Catamaran 72 is built for occasions that outgrow a yacht. It is listed for a maximum of 150 guests and has a minimum group size of 55, so it is designed for weddings, corporate events, quinceañeras, milestone birthdays and large private gatherings rather than small parties. A captain and a crew of six run the day, and the facilities are planned around numbers: one bar, two women's restrooms and two men's restrooms, and a sound system with a USB port for your playlist.
Food and drink work differently here than on most yachts. Rather than a fixed allowance, the listing describes menus that grow with the length of the charter, with upgrade options, and an international open-bar menu for this vessel. Because the exact service depends on the hours and options you choose, confirm in writing exactly which food and which bar service your quote includes before the day. The listing does not say whether outside food and drinks or separate catering are permitted, so we confirm that for your event as well.
Between toasts there is room for the water: snorkeling equipment, two kayaks and two paddleboards are listed. The catamaran departs from Puerto Vallarta or Nuevo Vallarta, and departures from La Cruz de Huanacaxtle or Punta Mita are optional at extra cost, which makes it workable for groups staying on either side of the bay. Towels are not included, and ground transportation and crew gratuity are separate; with a guest list this long, it pays to plan transport to the marina early.

Food & drinks. The Catamaran 72's listing describes food menus that grow with the length of the charter, menu upgrade options and an international open-bar menu, but does not list them as standard inclusions — confirm exactly which food and bar service your quote includes. The listing does not say whether outside food and drinks are permitted, so we confirm that policy for your booking. Quantities, menus and any upgrades are confirmed in writing before your charter.
A minimum group size applies (55 guests per the listing).
Departures from Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta; La Cruz de Huanacaxtle and Punta Mita departures are optional at extra cost.

Your day
Planning an event on the Catamaran 72
With departures from Puerto Vallarta or Nuevo Vallarta, the Catamaran 72 can start on whichever side of the bay suits your guests. From Puerto Vallarta, conditions permitting, a charter might head along the south shore toward Los Arcos for snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding; from Nuevo Vallarta, the Riviera Nayarit coast toward La Cruz de Huanacaxtle is the nearer option. Because the bay faces west, a late-afternoon charter can be planned around the sunset, which suits receptions and celebrations.
With a large group, timing matters as much as the route: when guests board, when food is served and when the music starts. Every route depends on the hours you book, sea conditions, regulations and the captain's judgment. In winter, humpback whales visit Banderas Bay, but whale watching is arranged only with vessels and operators authorized for the season and sightings are never guaranteed, so ask us before you plan around it.
Plan around it
Routes depend on charter length, departure point, weather, sea conditions and applicable regulations. Your captain makes the final call on safety.

Can we go whale watching on the Catamaran 72?
Humpback whales visit Banderas Bay in winter, typically about December to March, with the official season set each year. Whale watching follows federal rules and is arranged only with vessels and operators authorized for the season, so ask us whether that applies to your date; sightings are never guaranteed. Read our whale watching guide.
