Dallas travelers looking for a boat day with real space and real service will find it in Punta Mita. Nonstop flights from DFW reach Puerto Vallarta in about three hours, and from the airport it's a short drive to La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, the marina that serves Punta Mita and the Riviera Nayarit. Rayando el Sol, our Tanna 47ft luxury catamaran, is booked privately for your group of up to 16 guests, which makes it a natural fit for bachelor and bachelorette weekends, corporate retreats and milestone birthdays. Cruise toward the Marietas Islands, snorkel the clear water, launch the paddleboards or race the underwater sea scooters while the crew takes care of the details. A private chef serves a four-course gourmet menu, and the premium open bar keeps craft cocktails and fine wine flowing. The 3-hour sunset cruise for up to 12 guests is the easy add-on for your first night in town. Visiting between December and March? Humpback whales often appear in Banderas Bay. Big Texas energy, private Pacific setting.
