No visit to Puerto Vallarta would be complete without a boat cruise and lunch on a private beach. We departed the marina early in the morning and set sail on the open water. It was already warm and shaping up to be a scorcher of a day. Thankfully we had plenty of liquids on board to keep us hydrated... and dancing.

It's interesting to see how the skyline of the city has changed over all these years. There is more development along the beach, including towering condos and other landscape-changing buildings. It really shows people are interested in doing business and also making PV home.

After cruising for a bit we stopped the boat and hopped into the water to snorkel. Dozens of others had the same idea as we watched the colourful fish swimming below. A quick splash into the water was refreshing as the Mexican sun beat down on us. After some underwater exploring we got back onto the boat and cruised a little longer until we got to the private beach for lunch.
