If you’re dreaming of a luxurious day on the water in Puerto Vallarta, the ChicaFUN 3 Waterslides private yacht tour might just be what you’re seeking. While I haven’t personally been on this boat, the glowing reviews and detailed descriptions paint a pretty compelling picture of a fun, flexible, and all-inclusive experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want to escape the usual beach scene, this tour offers an engaging blend of adventure and comfort.
What we really like about this experience is how customizable it is—you can pick your stops and activities—and the fact that it comes with a full range of water toys and a premium bar included. On the flip side, one thing to keep in mind is that this is a private tour, which means a higher price tag, but also a more personalized outing. It’s best suited for groups who enjoy a bit of luxury, fun, and flexible planning in a scenic setting.
Key Points

- All-inclusive experience with drinks, snacks, and water toys
- Flexible itinerary options tailored to your group’s preferences
- Ideal for small to medium groups up to 15 people
- Enjoy waterslides and water activities in a stable, well-equipped trimaran
- Includes pickup and mobile ticketing for convenience
- Reviews highlight excellent staff service and fun atmosphere
The first thing that jumps out about the ChicaFUN 3 Waterslides is its stability and size. This 45-foot trimaran offers a sizable deck space with plenty of sun and shade options, perfect for relaxing between adventures. Its design ensures that even if the seas get a little choppy, you’ll stay steady and comfortable—an important factor for those who might be prone to seasickness or are just looking for a smooth ride.
The boat’s features promise non-stop fun: two large waterslides, a jumping platform, splash nets, and a variety of water toys like kayaks, paddleboards, and water tubes. These are designed to keep everyone entertained, regardless of age or energy level. One reviewer even pointed out that the water toys and slide were a big hit across all ages, making it a great outing for families or groups with diverse interests.
The all-inclusive bar is a real perk—think of it as your floating happy hour. You can get water, coffee, juices, sodas, or go for cocktails like Piña Coladas and margaritas, plus beer, wine, tequila, and even champagne. We loved the way this enhances the experience, removing the hassle of carrying drinks or worrying about extra costs. Snacks like guacamole, ceviche, and chips are also included, which helps stave off hunger during the day.
Another highlight is the customizable itinerary. You’re not locked into a rigid schedule; instead, the crew and captain work with you to design your route. Whether you want to cruise the Bay of Banderas, visit the Marietas Islands, or head towards Yelapa Falls, this flexibility means your day can be tailored to your interests. For a longer, full-day adventure, options include visiting Yelapa Falls or the Islands—though both can’t be done in the same outing.
The core idea of this private tour is personalization. You choose where to go within the Bahia de Banderas, and the crew takes care of everything else. This is a big plus compared to typical group tours—you’re not tied to pre-set schedules, and your group can linger longer or move quickly through stops based on your preferences.
The most popular destination is cruising along the Puerto Vallarta coastline, soaking in the stunning views and enjoying the breeze. If you opt for the full day, you might visit the Marietas Islands, known for their unique rock formations and snorkeling opportunities, or Yelapa Falls, a waterfall destination that’s perfect for a splashy adventure.
While many reviews praise the flexibility of the itinerary, some mention that the actual stops depend on weather conditions and the captain’s discretion. For example, Alyssa highlighted how the crew “accommodated our trip due to high winds,” which shows they’re attentive to safety and comfort.
The Water Fun and Entertainment

The boat’s water features are designed to keep the energy high. The slides are a big selling point—kids and adults alike find them hugely fun. The jumping platform adds a thrill, and splash nets create a playful environment for safe jumping and relaxing in the water.
Guests also mentioned how helpful and friendly the staff are—swimming drinks out to you, holding jewelry, or assisting with water toys. This kind of attentive service is what we love about this tour, making your day not just fun but effortless.
