An 85-foot Italian-built Azimut that charters from Marina Vallarta for up to 25 guests on Banderas Bay. Don Moi is the play-forward hull here: a hot tub on the upper deck, a water slide off the swim platform, and multiple sun decks for a group that has outgrown a smaller boat. Base drinks are water, sodas, juices and beers, with a premium open bar available as a per-person add-on. Food is included and scales with the charter length, starting with seasonal fruit, guacamole and chips, fish ceviche and tuna sashimi, and adding aguachile, grilled hamburgers and mixed fajitas as the hours go up. Snorkel gear, two paddle boards, fishing rods and a lily pad come aboard. Four-hour runs work Los Arcos Marine Park, while Quimixto and Yelapa need six or eight hours. | Location: Puerto Vallarta, Mexico | Guests: 25 | Price: From $11,400 USD per charter | Top Amenities: Hot tub, Water slide, Water, sodas, juices, beers included | Best For: Family group celebrations, Bachelor and bachelorette weekends, Birthday and milestone parties

The 85-foot Azimut Don Moi is the play-forward yacht on Banderas Bay. A hot tub on the upper deck and a water slide off the swim platform are the reason the boat reads as a day out rather than a cruise. Multiple sun decks spread twenty-five guests across the hull instead of stacking them into one cockpit. The drinks baseline is water, sodas, juices and beers, with a premium open bar available as a per-person add-on, and the food is included and gets better the longer the charter runs. The base charter covers a party of ten, with a ceiling of twenty-five on board, so it scales from a family group up to a full party.

Marina Vallarta and Range

Marina Vallarta is the home berth with no pickup fee, about twenty minutes by road from Puerto Vallarta airport. From the dock, Los Arcos Marine Park is roughly thirty minutes out by boat and is where the four-hour charters anchor. Las Caletas is around forty-five minutes and Yelapa about an hour, which is why the south coastline runs want six or eight hours. The Marietas Islands sit at about ninety minutes each way and are effectively a full-day objective. Punta Mita beach clubs are roughly forty-five minutes north by water. Pickup from Marina Nuevo Vallarta or La Cruz Marina can be arranged, each carrying its own surcharge, and the crew will collect anywhere between Punta Mita and Los Muertos Pier. Berthed at Marina Vallarta, with no pickup fee. Marina Nuevo Vallarta pickup available for a surcharge. La Cruz Marina pickup available for a surcharge. Airport is roughly twenty minutes away by road. Los Arcos Marine Park is the four-hour anchor. Las Caletas around 45 minutes, Yelapa roughly an hour. Marietas Islands sit about 90 minutes each way

Salon and Upper Deck

The salon carries its own bar and is the indoor anchor of the boat, the place a group of twenty-five falls back to when the sun is at its worst. Above it the upper deck holds the hot tub, and at the stern the swim platform is where the water slide runs from, so the vertical layout does a lot of the work: bar below, soak above, water off the back. Multiple sun decks connect them. The boat is built for full-day group charters rather than for sleeping, and there is no overnight package. Smoking is not permitted inside the vessel, and departures are scheduled from ten in the morning, flexing with availability. Salon with its own bar. Hot tub sits on the upper deck. Water slide runs off the swim platform. Multiple sun decks connecting the levels. Built for full-day group charters. No overnight package on this vessel. No smoking inside the vessel

Hot Tub and Slide

The hot tub and the water slide are the reason this yacht gets picked. The slide drops off the swim platform into the bay and is the thing that keeps a group of twenty-five occupied at anchor without anyone organising it. The hot tub works the other way, as the spot people end up in once they are out of the water. Around them are multiple sun decks, so a big group sorts itself into sun, shade and water without crowding one area. Snorkel gear, two paddle boards, fishing rods and a lily pad are all aboard. Life jackets are required for children, glass containers stay off the deck, and twenty-five is the maximum on board, events included. Hot tub up on the top deck. Slide drops from the swim platform into the bay. Multiple sun decks across the hull. Two paddle boards, fishing rods and a lily pad. Snorkel gear carried for the Los Arcos stop. Life jackets required for children. Maximum of 25 guests, events included

The Menu and the Bar

Food is included and it scales with the charter. The base spread is seasonal fruit, guacamole and chips, fish ceviche and tuna sashimi. A four-hour charter adds aguachile. Six hours adds aguachile and grilled hamburgers. Eight hours adds aguachile, grilled hamburgers and mixed fajitas, so the longest package is also the one that eats properly. Drinks included as standard are water, sodas, juices and beers, and a premium open bar is available as a per-person add-on if the day calls for it. On the water, four-hour charters run to Los Arcos Marine Park to snorkel and anchor in a cove, and Quimixto or Yelapa on the south coastline want six or eight hours.
