A yacht tour isn’t just an unforgettable experience — it’s also the perfect opportunity to capture amazing memories in one of Mexico’s most stunning coastal destinations: Puerto Vallarta. Whether you’re with friends, your partner, or family, here are the must-have shots you won’t want to miss during your yacht adventure. Get ready to fill your camera roll (and Instagram feed) with unforgettable moments!
🌊 1. The classic shot at the bow
Nothing says “luxury vacation” quite like a photo at the front of the yacht — arms open wide, wind in your hair, ocean stretching endlessly behind you. It’s a classic, and it never gets old.
Tip: Wear light clothing, add your sunglasses, and take the photo while the yacht is moving for a dynamic background.
🌅 2. Golden hour sunset
Puerto Vallarta is known for its breathtaking sunsets, and watching them from a yacht takes the experience to a whole new level. Use that soft golden light for some seriously dreamy photos.
Tip: Ask the captain to slow down or stop for a moment before sunset to get clearer, steadier shots.
🐬 3. Wildlife encounters
You might spot dolphins, manta rays, or even whales (during season) on your tour. These rare moments are perfect for your stories — and your memories.
Tip: Use burst mode to increase your chances of getting the perfect shot when something jumps out of the water.
🍹 4. Cheers on deck
Raise a glass and snap a photo with the ocean as your backdrop. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, bachelorette party, or just life, this one’s a must.
Tip: Bright cocktails or tropical drinks look great in photos — the more colorful, the better.
🏝️ 5. Hidden beach stops
Many yacht tours stop at remote or untouched beaches, like Yelapa or Majahuitas. These are perfect spots for stunning beach shots with white sand and turquoise water.
Tip: Walk a bit to find unique angles — try rocky areas, palm trees, or small waterfalls for variety.
🛟 6. View from the water
If you go for a swim or do some snorkeling, take a shot from the water looking back at the yacht. It gives great perspective and shows off the size and beauty of the boat.
Tip: Use a waterproof camera or phone case to protect your gear while capturing that perfect angle.
💃 7. Party vibes on deck
If you’re on a party tour, don’t forget to capture the fun! Music, dancing, laughter, and good company make for amazing candid moments.
Tip: For evening tours, add some LED lights or simple decorations to create an even cooler party atmosphere.
✅ Extra Tips for Yacht Photos:
- Use warm filters or editing tools that enhance the ocean’s turquoise tones.
- Bring a power bank so your phone never dies mid-tour.
- Avoid harsh noon light; morning and late afternoon give the best natural lighting.
- Most importantly — have fun! The best shots are often the most spontaneous.
