This Could Be the Best Day of Your Life!

How do you create the perfect day on the Mexican Riviera? Take two amazing yachts, add unsurpassed customer service, and throw in some of the best boating conditions on the entire Pacific Coast. The result: an unforgettable day with Mondrian Yacht Charters on the Banderas Bay. Founded in 2007, Mondrian Yacht Charters (MYC) is quickly establishing itself as the premier yacht charter company in the Puerto Vallarta / Punta Mita region. With two unique yachts in its fleet, the breathtaking 21-meter luxury cruiser. The Mondrian, and the "sexy," 13-meter sport coupe The Entourage, MYC offers some of the most exciting yachts for charter on the Mexican Riviera. However, it takes more than two incredible yachts to create the Mondrian Yacht Charter experience. The Mondrian Yacht Charter team, comprised of seasoned nautical veterans and local Vallarta talent, are the heart and soul of the MYC operations, providing unrivaled personal service and expertise on the water. None of this would be complete without the sparkling gem of the Vallarta region: The Banderas Bay. As one of the worlds largest and deepest bays, and sheltered by the majestic Sierra Madres, the Banderas Bay offers some of the best luxury yacht charter conditions in all of Mexico. Thus, the Mondrian Yacht Charters yachts and crew, combined with the tranquil waters of the Mexican Riviera, make the perfect blend of luxury and adventure, culminating to create, what could quite possibly be, the very best day of your life.

The Mondrian Yacht Charter vessels are truly one of a kind. The 21-meter Mondrian is a unique combination of American craftsmanship and Italian design. Built to withstand any sea conditions, this yacht boasts a sleek, Euro-style exterior. The interior of the vessel has been completely customized to feature the elegant, casual style of the Mexican Riviera, with fine woods, natural textures and the warm hues of the Puerto Vallarta region. With an enclosed salon, full-size kitchen, interior dining room, 3 staterooms and baths, and ample outdoor dining and lounging space, this vessel is the perfect home away from home for the day for up to 20 guests.

The second yacht in Mondrian's fleet is the "sexy," 13-meter sport coupe, The Entourage, offering the ultimate in stylish luxury and high octane performance. Adventure seekers can experience exhilarating speeds of over 40 mph, while enjoying the comfort and elegance of this unique vessel. With its open-air salon and retractable roof, The Entourage is the perfect yacht for enjoying the sights and sounds of Puerto Vallarta's bay. It's the perfect luxury yacht excursion. Also appointed with exotic woods and European fixtures, a fully equipped kitchen, 2 staterooms and a full bath, this yacht is as comfortable as it is stylish for groups of up to 8 people.

The Mondrian Yacht Charters team breaths life into these two amazing vessels, with their commitment to customer service and expert knowledge of yachting and bay cruising. MYC prides itself in featuring local know how and talent in the charter experience, starting with Day Captain, Solomon Ruiz. A third generation Vallarta boat captain, Solomon's knowledge of the Banderas Bay and its sea life is unrivaled. As a recent MYC client put it, "seems to me if there is a whale out there, Solomon will spot it!" Local talent is also featured in MYC' gourmet cuisine, prepared by Vallarta resident and personal chef, Josue Jimenez. Raised in Vallarta, but trained in the US and Spain, Josue brings an international flair to his culinary selections, while highlighting the spices and seafood unique to this region. Every MYC charter experience includes full gourmet food and beverage service, allowing all clients to sample some of Josue's tasty dishes.

Like Solomon and Josue, each crewmember brings his or her unique talents to the Mondrian Yacht Charter experience. Veteran crewmember Felix Rodriguez explains, "We work as a team and our guests really sense it." This spirit has created a loyal following of regular clients, who often charter a MYC yacht multiple times throughout the season. For yachting enthusiasts who frequent or reside in the Puerto Vallarta / Punta Mita area, but don't relish the responsibility of yacht ownership, a MYC charter makes perfect sense. These regular clients are the mainstay of MYC's business and are thought of by the crew as members of the Mondrian Yacht Charter family. As Yacht Manager, Ricardo Zuniga, puts it, "We really enjoy seeing our regular guests again and again. They board the yacht and greet everyone by name. We hand them their favorite drink and have their favorite spot on the deck waiting for them. For these clients, it's like coming home."

This unique feeling you get from a professional yacht charter would not be complete without the unique wonders of the Banderas Bay. Not only is the Banderas Mexico's largest bay, it is also one of the world's deepest. This makes its waters particularly tranquil and abundant in sea life. Such tranquility and beauty are magnified by the majestic shelter of the Sierra Madres Mountains, offering a truly magical experience on the water. And what diversity it offers, from the South Bay's lush and protected coves, to the rare sea life of The Marietas Islands, to the rugged coast of Punta Mita. Of course, a MYC charter allows Puerto Vallarta / Punta Mita guests to experience the best of what the bay has to offer in ultimate luxury and style combined with 5-star pampering.

A day on the bay with Mondrian Yacht Charters is not only beautiful, but adventurous, as it includes a number of fun filled activities including snorkeling among schools of tropical fish, swimming to a secluded beach, or skimming the waters of a protected cove on a top of the line wave runner. Whale watching is unparalleled in the Banderas Bay from December - March and made all the more exciting by MYC's beautiful yachts and experienced crew. Any of these activities can be tailored to meet each client's unique desires, as every charter is completely customized from beginning to end. Many of MYC's clients are family-oriented and they specialize in accommodating the safety and recreational needs of children. At the same time, they are equally prepared for romantic sunset cruises, sophisticated corporate events, memorable wedding celebrations, birthday parties, etc. The list of possibilities is endless.

While each MYC charter is unique, past charter clients tend to have one thing in common, they offer rave reviews about their Mondrian Yacht Charter experience. Over and over again, MYC clients report their charter as a trip highlight and often use the phrase "once in a lifetime experience" to describe their excursion. With two amazing yachts, a world-class crew, and some of the best boating conditions on the Pacific, it's hard to go wrong. In the words, of a MYC repeat client, "I cannot imagine anyone spending time in PV without a day on the bay and will always highly recommend Mondrian as the way to do this. Kids were over the moon with the day and so were we. I know they will remember their day onboard the Mondrian for a lifetime. " Indeed, this could be the best day of your life...
