Puerto Vallarta/ Banderas Bay - Docking
Anchoring:
Anchoring is reported to be permitted inside the Puerto Vallarta harbour, off the creek mouth but this is a crowded area. Anchorage can be found in other parts of the bay–specifically Punta Mita in the north-west hook of the bay, La Cruz and Yelapa on the southern side of the bay.
Note: Anchoring is no longer permitted at Los Arcos or Isla Marietas.
Marinas
There are three marinas in the planned resort community of Nuevo Vallarta (NV) which is just north of Puerto Vallarta. The marinas are located in dredged canals and are set between resorts. The area is known for its golf courses and the long, sandy Nuevo Vallarta beach.
The Puerto Vallarta (PV) marinas are located in the man-made harbour past the cruise ship docks. The marinas are surrounded by shops and hotels and the central location offers easy access to a variety of services.
Crocodiles have been spotted in both NV and PV.

2018 – Marina Vallarta, wifi must be paid for but a good price at 25.00 per month for unlimited use. Toilet and shower facilities are not in keeping with the high cost per foot. Beware, crocodiles are in the marina waters. The marine store located at the fuel dock is not a marine store but more a collection of used odds and ends.
In 2014, both Marina Nuevo Vallarta and Marina Vallarta have new owners, and both marinas have been renovated with new docks, gates, power, water.
