Private Yacht Charter ChicaFUN 2 Waterslides All Inclusive

Make the bay your own. Chica Locca Tours’ private ChicaFUN 2 charter gives your group a four-hour yacht outing around Puerto Vallarta and the Bay of Banderas, with waterslides, kayaks, paddle boards, snorkeling gear, snacks, and an open bar included. I like the privacy and the freedom to shape the route. You are not tied to a fixed public tour or someone else’s schedule.

I also like the easygoing all-inclusive setup. Once aboard, your group can move between swimming, water sports, food, and drinks without paying separate activity fees. The main drawback is the price: $1,940 is a serious bill for a four-hour outing unless you can fill most of the 15 available places.

This is best for a family celebration, birthday, reunion, or group of friends who want the boat to themselves. The captain and crew handle the day, while you decide how active or relaxed it should feel. Just choose your meeting point before booking, since that detail is required.

Key points to know before booking

• Private yacht for up to 15 people: Your group gets the boat and crew without sharing the experience with strangers.
• Two waterslides plus water gear: Snorkel equipment, kayaks, paddle boards, a water mattress, and a water tube are included.
• Flexible Bay of Banderas route: You can request a custom plan around Puerto Vallarta rather than follow a rigid public-tour schedule.
• Four-hour time frame: This is a half-day outing, not the full-day option that can reach the Marietas Islands or Yelapa Falls.
• Brand-name open bar and snacks: Drinks range from coffee, juices, sodas, and mineral water to beer, wine, tequila, margaritas, and champagne.
• Strong satisfaction record: The experience is recommended by 99 percent of customers and carries a 5 rating from 124 reviews.

A private boat day off Puerto Vallarta

The appeal here is simple: you get a yacht, a captain, a crew, and a menu of ways to enjoy the water. Chica Locca Tours operates in the Bay of Banderas, one of the main scenic areas around Puerto Vallarta, and lets you decide how your group wants to use its time.

That freedom matters more than it may sound. A public boat tour often has a set departure, fixed stops, and a mixed crowd with different ideas about fun. On ChicaFUN 2, one person can use the paddle board while another relaxes with a drink, and the group can request a route that fits its interests.

The boat is also designed for variety. The two waterslides give the outing a playful edge, while snorkeling gear, kayaks, a water mattress, and a tube offer other ways to get into the water. If some members of your party want constant activity and others prefer a floating break, the equipment helps keep both camps happy.

Do not expect a quiet sightseeing cruise only. This is built as an active, social boat day, with swimming and water play at the center. You can certainly choose a calmer pace, but the main value comes from using the gear and taking advantage of the boat’s setup.

Four hours along the Bay of Banderas

The listed duration is about four hours. That gives you enough time for a proper boat outing, but it limits how far you can go and how many stops you can fit in.

Your trip begins in Puerto Vallarta, where the route can be customized within the Bay of Banderas. The boat then cruises along the Puerto Vallarta coast and around the bay. The exact balance between cruising, swimming, water sports, and stopping is something you should discuss with the operator when arranging your plan.

The shorter duration makes this a sensible choice if you want to keep part of the day free. You might pair it with a relaxed afternoon in town or another Puerto Vallarta activity. At the same time, four hours can pass quickly when your party is eating, swimming, using the slides, and moving between activities.

The full-day possibilities are different. A seven-hour charter can choose either the Marietas Islands or Yelapa Falls, but both destinations cannot be visited on the same day. The four-hour ChicaFUN 2 option should therefore be viewed as a coastal and bay outing, not as a trip to those farther attractions.

That distinction is important when you book. If your main goal is the Marietas Islands or Yelapa Falls, ask about the longer option. If your priority is private time on the yacht with plenty of included activities, the four-hour format may be enough.

What you can do on the water

The included equipment gives you a lot of choice without extra rental costs. Snorkel gear is available for people who want to explore below the surface. Kayaks and paddle boards suit anyone who prefers to paddle, while the water mattress and tube offer easier ways to float.

The two waterslides are a major part of the ChicaFUN 2 identity. They make the boat feel less like simple transportation and more like a floating play area. Families with children and groups of friends may get the most from this feature, though the operator does not provide a specific age or height policy in the available details.

You should ask any safety or age questions before booking if children are joining you. The supplied information says most people can participate, but it does not spell out restrictions for each activity.

Because the boat is private, you can decide how much time to spend on each option. There is no need to keep pace with a larger public group. That flexibility is especially useful when your party has mixed energy levels or when a few people are not keen on every water activity.

Still, the equipment list is not a promise that every item will be used at every moment. Your actual schedule depends on your requested plan, conditions on the day, and the captain’s decisions. The captain and crew are responsible for running the outing safely and effectively.

Food, drinks, and the all-inclusive setup

The food is casual and suited to a boat day: guacamole, chips, and potato chips. This is enough to take the edge off hunger during a four-hour outing, but you should not book it expecting a full restaurant meal.

The drink selection is much broader. The brand-name open bar includes water, coffee, juices, sodas, mineral water, beer, wine, tequila, piña coladas, margaritas, and champagne. You can also request the type of drink you prefer from the listed choices.

That range is useful for mixed groups. Nonalcoholic drinks are covered, so nobody has to order a separate soft drink package. Adults who want cocktails or beer can use the open bar rather than tracking each round on a private charter.

The all-inclusive structure also makes group planning easier. Your price is set for the group, and the listed activities, snacks, drinks, landing fees, and facility fees are included. You do not need to build a separate budget for each kayak trip or beverage.

Gratuities are not included. They are optional, but you should account for them if the crew provides the friendly, attentive service this outing is designed around. Souvenir photos are also extra if you want to purchase them.

The crew and the feel of the day

The crew is a major part of the experience. Chica Locca Tours presents its captain as highly experienced and its crew as friendly and ready to help. One especially positive comment praised the boat and crew for being accommodating, kind, and fun, and rated the experience as a full five out of five.

That praise points to something important. A private charter is not only about the boat itself. The crew sets the tone, helps organize the equipment, supports your chosen plan, and keeps the day moving. A good crew can make a flexible itinerary feel relaxed instead of disorganized.

The experience has a 5 rating from 124 reviews, with 99 percent of customers recommending it. Those figures are unusually strong, and the most repeated praise focuses on the crew rather than only on the water toys. I would give that factor real weight when comparing private charters.

At the same time, no crew can control the weather, water conditions, or every part of the day. Your route may need to change for practical reasons. Since the tour is customized, it is wise to discuss your priorities clearly before departure: sightseeing, swimming, water sports, or simply time aboard with drinks and snacks.

Is $1,940 a good value?

The group price is $1,940 for up to 15 people. If you fill every place, the cost works out to about $129 per person before gratuity. That is a more reasonable figure for a private yacht with drinks, snacks, water equipment, crew, and fees included.

With eight people, the price is about $242.50 per person. With only four, it becomes $485 per person. The value improves sharply as your group gets larger, so this charter makes the most financial sense for a nearly full party.

You are paying for privacy as much as for the equipment. A cheaper shared cruise may offer a similar coastline view, but it will not give your group exclusive use of the boat or the same control over the day. The included open bar and activity gear also reduce the small extra charges that can build up on other outings.

The price is harder to justify if only a few people are joining or if you mainly want a short scenic ride. In that case, compare the cost with a shared boat trip or ask Chica Locca Tours about other private options.

Meeting points and booking details that matter

Pickup is offered in the sense that several meeting points are available, but hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. You must choose your meeting place before submitting the reservation.

If you need another meeting point or help arranging affordable luxury transportation to the departure location, the operator says that request can be made. The contact listed for this help is Gil, the owner.

Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. The tour is offered in English, and the experience is near public transportation. Most people can participate, though the available details do not provide a full accessibility statement or individual rules for the waterslides and other equipment.

Free cancellation is available until 24 hours before the experience start time. Cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a full refund. Cancellations or changes made inside that window are not accepted and are not refunded.

Who will enjoy ChicaFUN 2 most?

I would choose this charter for a group that values time together more than a fixed sightseeing checklist. It suits families, friend groups, wedding parties, birthday groups, and anyone marking a special occasion in Puerto Vallarta.

It is also a good fit for groups with mixed interests. Active people have slides, snorkeling, kayaks, paddle boards, and a tube. Others can stay aboard with snacks, coffee, soft drinks, or a cocktail while enjoying the bay views.

The outing may be less suitable for a small party that wants to visit a specific distant attraction. The four-hour format does not include the Marietas Islands or Yelapa Falls, and the price is much harder to spread across a small number of people.

I would also think twice if your group wants a formal meal, a detailed cultural tour, or a fully scheduled sightseeing program. This is a flexible recreational charter, not a history-focused excursion. Its strength is personal choice, water play, and private time on the coast.

Should you book this private yacht?

Book ChicaFUN 2 if you can gather a large group and want a lively half-day on the Bay of Banderas without sharing the boat. The included waterslides, water sports, open bar, snacks, and flexible route give you plenty to do, while the crew’s strong service record adds confidence.

Before paying, settle three points: your meeting location, your preferred balance of cruising and water activities, and whether four hours is enough for your plans. If you want Marietas Islands or Yelapa Falls, ask about the seven-hour version instead.

For a full group, the value is solid. For a small group, the math is less friendly. The best reason to book is not simply the yacht or the open bar. It is the chance to give your own group the kind of boat day you actually want.
