Puerto Vallarta’s Most Exclusive Private Catamaran
Some events call for more than a traditional ballroom, restaurant, beach club, sailboat, or conventional yacht charter. Seventeen was created for exactly that.
At 100 feet long and spanning three expansive decks, Seventeen offers a scale rarely found among Puerto Vallarta catamarans. With capacity for up to 180 guests, it provides the space and versatility required for sophisticated corporate gatherings, large group celebrations, weddings, receptions, and private events across Banderas Bay.
A catamaran is a multi-hull vessel featuring expansive flat decks and wide lounging trampolines, providing significantly more stability compared to traditional single-hull boats. This design allows guests to move naturally between distinct environments throughout the vessel. Open-air decks invite cocktails and conversation under the Puerto Vallarta sun, shaded lounges offer space to relax with friends, and elevated areas reveal uninterrupted views across the sparkling waters of the Mexican Pacific.
Puerto Vallarta is a top destination for private catamaran charters, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and vibrant marine life.
The result is a venue that evolves throughout the event.
A welcome cocktail can transition into sunset canapés. A corporate gathering can move from networking to dining and entertainment. A wedding ceremony can become a reception beneath the changing colors of Banderas Bay.
Seventeen is not simply another Puerto Vallarta catamaran or a luxurious yacht for a day at sea. It is a fully customizable private venue where the journey, scenery, hospitality, and celebration become one memorable experience.
