A private boat charter from Puerto Escondido puts the entire coastline at your disposal — dolphins, seasonal whales, hidden beaches, and snorkeling coves accessible only by boat. With up to 10 passengers, a professional captain, and a fully customisable itinerary, this is your boat, your pace, your adventure. Choose a morning departure for calm seas and vibrant marine life, or an afternoon run for a sunset over the Pacific.

Your experience

What to Expect

We pick you up at 6:30 AM or 3:30 PM from your hotel or Airbnb in Puerto Escondido and take you to the harbour. By 7:00 AM or 4:00 PM, you board your private boat — fully equipped with shade, comfortable seating, a cooler for your drinks, life jackets, and a speaker system for your music.

Your captain launches from the harbour and heads along the coast, adjusting the route based on sea conditions and wildlife sightings. Dolphins are common year-round and frequently ride the bow wave, while humpback whales breach offshore between December and March. Sea turtles and rays are regularly spotted in the nearshore waters.

The itinerary is fully customisable: want to anchor at a quiet cove and snorkel? Done. Prefer to fish? Your captain adapts. Just want to cruise and relax with music? That works too. Afternoon departures include the bonus of watching the sunset from the water.
