There’s no need to know each other to feel a sense of connection—just share the ocean, gourmet flavors, and a golden horizon.
This journey is crafted for travelers seeking the comfort and intimacy of a premium sailing experience without the need to book a private tour. It’s ideal for solo travelers, couples, or small groups.
Let the bay embrace you. With limited availability, you’ll share the deck with a select group of fellow sea enthusiasts, creating an atmosphere that is both private and social.
Every detail is thoughtfully prepared: chef-crafted dishes made fresh on board, carefully selected drinks, and dessert. Relax under the sun, feel the wind in the sails, or simply enjoy a handcrafted cocktail while admiring Puerto Vallarta’s breathtaking coastline. This is an invitation to connect—with the sea, and with yourself.
Regarding swimming:
Due to a recent issue with Ada’s anchor winch, we are currently unable to safely anchor for a swim stop. Therefore, this trip will focus entirely on sailing.

Fantastic sailing adventure - I booked with them because I liked the nostalgic look of the sailboat. The crew was fabulous and catered to all our needs. The food was great, especially the red snapper! I highly recommend them . I've done other sailing trips but would definitely repeat with ADA Sailing

Excellent Sailing Trip - My husband and I booked this sailboat trip and were very happy with the experience from beginning to end. It was about a 25 minute walk (5-10 minute drive) from where our cruise ship docked for the day which was really convenient. The staff is friendly, gracious, welcoming and kind. The drinks are wonderfully created and presented. I enjoyed the mocktails and my husband enjoyed the regular cocktails. The boat is meticulously cared for and clean. I've never experienced a cleaner bathroom on board a boat. The appetizers and lunch were beautifully presented. Unfortunately, I am prone to sea sickness so I ended up getting sick (no fault whatsoever of the staff). A great big thank you to Isabella who took such good care of me. My husband said she cared for me like a mother. One of the sweetest people you will ever meet. Highly recommend this tour; no hesitation at all!

top notch for sure - This was our 3rd year doing the Ada Charter, We did the evening sunset sail and have done the day time sail 2 other times. This is by far one of our best experiences. The food is excellent and the staff could not be any better. We go to PV every year for the month of March and this is our highlight for sure each year. It has become something that our group looks forward to every year. By far one of the best experiences.

ADA sailing is the best - I've been meaning to write this review for a long time now, and after my wife asking when to book again for this November, I finally got to it. This beautifully kept sailboat is a pleasure to sail on, whether motoring or under sail (which is the most calming thing on the ocean). The trip either to the south end of Banderas Bay or the north end (which I prefer) is so rewarding. The chance to see whales, dolphins, turtles, and the accompanying boobies diving into the water right beside the boat. Of course the crew with Andrea (Andie) who is usually with you on your sailing, the cook who I've forgotten her name (sorry), the captain and two mates. They needless to say are what makes this cruise so very special. Starting out with your morning cocktails, appies while sailing, and a beautiful lunch, with many choices that are delicious, all prepared in the tiniest of galleys. After lunch the cocktails continue, with many choices from their bar menu, all the way back to the marina.
If you ever wanted an intimate sailing adventure on Banderas Bay ADA sailing is the trip for you.
We have sailed with them every November since 2016 and have never been disappointed, Andie is always ready to accommodate you. They have had clients that have sailed with them close to 100 hundred times.

Must do luxury sail - This is a terrific experience on the beautiful bay of Banderas. The ship is pristine and oh so comfortable. The captain and crew are so knowledgeable and accommodating

Sailing with the best! - I can’t begin to express how amazing this trip was. You could tell the owner and the crew cared not only about the ship (the ship was super clean), but they also cared about the experience of the guest. The small bites were extremely tasteful and refreshing. I also really appreciated the educational tid bits along the way. 12/10 I would take this trip again. If you plan to go to the water, I would go with Ada Sailing.

Amazing…the best way to get out onto the Ocean and spend your day! - My husband and I sailed with Ada for the 3rd time so far in 2025. Andrea and her crew are so pleasant and offer an exceptional quality sailing experience! Alma makes 5 star appetizers and lunch with many food options to choose from. Brian is the best bartender and you will never be without a drink in your hand for long! The captain is always alert and will spend plenty of time to whale watch with guests. If I’ve missed anyone, and I’m sure I have, kudos for all your efforts! We would highly recommend Ada for your next sailing, sunset or whale watching excursions!
Cheers to the entire Ada Family, we will definitely see you next season!

10/10!! - This experience was unforgettable! The appetizers, food and drinks were excellent! Staff was very attentive and the boat was easy to get on and off for my grandma. I would suggest bringing a sweater if you're going on a cloudy day. We did see some wales which was pretty cool. We all loved putting the sails up on the way back!
