The Gay Luxury Sunset Cruise in Puerto Vallarta is a premier weekly event tailored for the LGBTQ+ community and allies. Operating every Friday from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM (and occasionally on Thursdays during peak periods), this 3-hour experience takes place aboard the Escándalo, a gay-owned 48-foot Sea Ray motor yacht.
Due to its popularity and limited capacity, it is highly recommended to book approximately 33 days in advance.
If the luxury sunset cruise is full, consider these alternatives:
A world-famous LGBTQ+ day cruise operating for over 25 years, focusing on snorkeling and beach time.
Known for its "clothing optional" high-energy party atmosphere with drag shows and music.
Features secluded beach stops, nude swimming options, and a lively crew.
