The rainy season — typically from June through October — is considered the low season for tourism in Puerto Vallarta. That means lower demand and better prices on hotels, tours, and private yacht rentals.
It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy a luxury experience on the water for a fraction of what you would pay during peak season. Plus, in Puerto Vallarta, rain usually lasts only a short time or falls later in the afternoon, leaving plenty of beautiful hours to sail and enjoy the sunshine.

A More Private and Relaxing Experience
Fewer tourists means more peace, privacy, and exclusive spaces just for you.
During this season, you can enjoy:

Imagine cruising past Los Arcos de Mismaloya or along the southern coastline with very few boats around… just you, the ocean, and breathtaking views.
Premium Perks Without the Premium Price
Many yacht rental companies offer special off-season deals, such as:
- Open bar included
- Private chef or gourmet meals onboard
- Special decorations for birthdays or anniversaries
- Extra cruising time at no additional cost
In other words, you can enjoy a VIP experience while spending much less.
