Sailing into Family Fun: Our Unforgettable Day on the Chica Locca
When I heard about the luxurious Mega Yacht Adventure in Puerto Vallarta, I knew it was a must-try for our family. Join me as I recount our unforgettable day filled with adventure, relaxation, and family bonding on the Chica Locca.
Setting Sail on the Chica Locca
As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for activities that promise both adventure and relaxation for families. So, when I heard about the Mega Yacht Adventure in Puerto Vallarta, I knew it was a must-try for our family. Our journey began with an open-air bus ride from Sayulita to the marina in La Cruz. The excitement was palpable as we boarded the Chica Locca, a spacious catamaran that promised a day of fun and exploration.
The staff greeted us with warm smiles and an infectious energy that set the tone for the day. With 40 to 50 guests on board, the boat was large enough that we never felt crowded. My kids, ages 6 and 3, were thrilled to explore the two decks, finding cozy spots to lounge on cushions and hammocks. The attentive crew ensured we were well-fed and hydrated, with a constant flow of delicious food and drinks. The open bar was a hit with the adults, while the kids enjoyed fresh juices and snacks.
Adventures at Sea
The Chica Locca offered a plethora of activities to keep everyone entertained. As we sailed away from the port, the crew set up fishing lines, and we were lucky enough to catch a tuna. The highlight was when the crew prepared fresh ceviche from the catch, a delightful treat for everyone on board.
The boat was equipped with water slides, paddleboards, and a floating banana boat, providing endless fun for the kids and adults alike. My husband and I took turns sliding down the water slides with our kids, their laughter echoing across the water. The crew’s enthusiasm was contagious, and they made sure everyone was having a blast.
Our journey took us to the Marietas Islands, a protected habitat teeming with wildlife. We swam from a tender boat to the island, where we explored natural beaches and caves. The kids were fascinated by the rare blue-footed boobies and the variety of bird species. Snorkeling around the island reefs was a magical experience, with vibrant fish and sea life captivating our attention.
Memories to Last a Lifetime
One of the best parts of the day was the onboard photographer who captured every moment of our adventure. From the kids’ first paddleboarding attempts to our family snorkeling together, every memory was preserved. At the end of the day, we purchased the photos, which were promptly emailed to us, allowing us to relive the experience whenever we wanted.
As we cruised back to the marina, the crew served their famous guacamole and chips, a perfect end to a perfect day. The kids were exhausted but happy, and my husband and I couldn’t stop talking about the incredible experience. The Mega Yacht Adventure was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip to Puerto Vallarta, offering a unique blend of relaxation, adventure, and family bonding.
For families looking for a memorable day at sea, this adventure is a must. The combination of luxury, attentive service, and exciting activities makes it an unforgettable experience for all ages. Whether you’re lounging on the deck, exploring the islands, or enjoying the onboard amenities, the Chica Locca promises a day of fun and relaxation that you won’t soon forget.
