These boats are common around the high tourist areas of Mexico. They make what is know locally as "Booze Cruises". They have salesmen in town and on the beaches taking reservations for a sight-seeing trip, sometime including a stop in some exotic spot for lunch, sometimes visiting little islands or coves. They the one we went on 5 years ago also included a "swim call" in the ocean. They have 2 bars on board, serving premade drinks. Margaritas, Pina Coladas, and a few different high balls. All free once you're underway. LOUD music plays without ceasing! Our trip was about 5 hours including a stop to visit a waterfall and have lunch in the Jungle. On the way back to Puerto Vallarta, people were dancing all the wild dances and having quite a time, Some were exceptionally drunk, laying around in various parts of the vessel. We were happy to get back to the dock, but was an experience!
