Super Panga Charter All-Inclusive

A detailed look at the Super Panga Charter All-Inclusive: a luxurious, personalized boat adventure in Puerto Vallarta

When you think of exploring the waters around Puerto Vallarta, imagine cruising comfortably on a sleek, modern 30-foot super panga, with the chance to see dolphins, whales (seasonally), or just enjoy the scenic coastline. For up to five people, this private tour costs around $926, lasts about 4 hours, and offers a blend of adventure and relaxation that’s hard to beat.

What we love about this tour is its all-inclusive setup—from premium drinks to fresh snacks—and the flexibility to customize your day. The boat, operated by Chica Locca Tours, is well-designed with shade, comfy seating, and a top-notch sound system that keeps the vibe lively.

A couple of considerations: because it’s private, it tends to be pricier than group tours, but many find the personalized service and exclusivity worth the extra. It’s ideal for couples, families, or small groups seeking a luxurious, flexible day on the water without the crowds.

This experience suits travelers who appreciate comfort, want to explore at their own pace, and enjoy good food and drinks in a stunning natural setting. If you’re looking for a mix of adventure, scenery, and laid-back luxury, this might be just what you need.

Discovering Puerto Vallarta by Boat: What’s Included and Why It Matters

We found that this tour offers a surprisingly broad range of experiences packed into a four-hour window. Starting with the private boat, named the Chica Panga Adventure, you’re immediately struck by its modern design—sleek, spacious, and equipped for comfort. Power comes from two 115 hp engines, which means you’ll reach your favorite spots quickly and smoothly, maximizing your time on the water.

What makes this boat special? The shade and comfortable seating mean you can relax without worrying about sunburn or fatigue. Plus, the premium sound system allows your group to set the mood with your favorite tunes, making the trip feel like your own floating lounge.

Activities Designed for All Tastes

The core appeal of this tour is its flexibility. Whether you’re into snorkeling at coral reefs, paddleboarding, or just lounging on the water mattress, there’s something on offer for everyone. The tour’s itinerary allows for scenic cruising past landmarks like Los Arcos and Marietas Islands, and if you’re lucky in season, you might spot dolphins or whales—a true thrill.

Authentic experiences matter here. The crew has a good reputation (“famous Chica Locca Service”), which means they’re attentive and eager to cater to your group’s desires. One reviewer mentioned how the crew’s friendliness made all the difference, making the trip feel more like a day spent with friends rather than just a tour.

Food and Drinks: A Highlight

The all-inclusive aspect truly elevates this experience. Expect premium water, juices, sodas, margaritas, piña coladas, beer, tequila, and even champagne if you like. Snacks include fresh guacamole with blue corn chips and ceviche, with some tours also offering fresh fruit, pastries, and regional dishes in the morning.

This emphasis on quality and variety means you won’t feel the need to bring your own drinks or worry about food—just relax and enjoy. The inclusion of fishing gear and snorkeling equipment means you can switch activities easily without constantly looking for gear or making extra payments.

The Itinerary in Detail: What’s Possible in 4 Hours

Your adventure begins with a pickup from one of four convenient locations—either Puerto Mágico, Paradise Village Pier, Boca de Tomatlán, or Chica Locca Marina—with a small additional fee for some ports. After a quick 10-minute speedboat ride, you arrive at your first stop.

The first stop is often a “secret” location—ideal for swimming, snorkeling, or just taking in the views. The tour may include guided tours, boat cruising, or even kayaking. Many reviews highlight that the scenic beauty of Banderas Bay is the star here, with the chance to relax on the water or explore the marine life.

A second quick speedboat ride transports you to either another scenic spot or perhaps Yelapa or Los Arcos, depending on your preferences. The tour finishes back at your original departure point—Boca de Tomatlán, Chica Marina, Paradise Village, or Puerto Mágico.
