Luxurious Ports of Call

Those fortunate enough to have the opportunity to explore lands from the sea in a luxurious yacht or sailboat, agree that few stopover destinations offer the services, luxuries and comforts that are available in the Riviera Nayarit. Here, four important marinas have been developed, providing the perfect reception for those lovers of the immense ocean, salty breezes and undiscovered paradises.

The marinas of the Riviera Nayarit are equipped to receive ships measuring from 26 to 400 feet long and offer a complete array of services including fresh drinkable water, 24-hour security, garbage collection, dry docking, pump out stations, concierge, telephones, cable television and Internet. In the inlet known as “El Chino” we find the first marina on the list, the Nuevo Vallarta marina. Then, surrounded by exquisite residences and in the middle of a protected natural lagoon is the Paradise Village Marina certified as the cleanest in the country. Here, visitors can acquire access to all of the services of the Paradise Village Resort and Yacht Club.

One of the newest and most ambitious undertakings of this tourist destination is the Riviera Nayarit Marina at La Cruz, which is located in a traditional fishing village, La Cruz de Huanacaxtle. The marina is considered one of the largest on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, and since opening in late 2008, it has already hosted numerous world-class nautical events. The marina is equipped with everything necessary to offer visitors the luxuries and comforts of its facilities as well as the opportunity to explore and experience La Cruz, a small town with deeply rooted traditions. Finally, in the historic Port of San Blas, the Marina San Blas recently began operations, welcoming up to 17 vessels measuring between 12 and 40 feet long. The marina has integrated itself into the Sea of Cortez nautical corridor.
