Puerto Vallarta is one of the top destinations for an unforgettable yacht experience. If you’re thinking about renting one, one of the most common questions is: What’s the best time of year to do it? Here’s everything you need to know.
☀️ Best Season: November to May
The high yachting season in Puerto Vallarta runs from November to May, when the weather is more stable, there’s very little rain, and the temperatures are perfect for enjoying the sea.
- Average temperatures: Between 77°F and 86°F (25°C to 30°C)
- Mostly sunny skies
- Low rainfall
- Ideal for: Private parties, family trips, whale watching (December to March)
💡 TIP: Book early, as demand is high during this season.
🌧️ Low Season: June to October
During these months, the weather is hotter and there’s a higher chance of rain or tropical storms, especially in August and September. Still, this season has its advantages:
- Lower yacht rental prices
- Fewer tourists, giving you more privacy
- Warm waters, ideal for swimming or snorkeling
💡 TIP: Always check the weather forecast before booking, and consider yachts with indoor cabins in case of rain.
🐋 Bonus: Whale Watching Season
For a magical experience, December through March is whale watching season in Banderas Bay. Renting a yacht during these months gives you the chance to see humpback whales in their natural habitat.
