But I will. Because everyone deserves to have an experience this incredible at least once in their lives ;) Darrin and his crew were absolutely fabulous. It was just so easy. We showed up to the marina in a cab, waltzed on the boat and then we were on our way with pina coladas in hand! We danced and sang, and went out on the lily pad and paddle board for a bit. Not gonna lie, we had pretty low expectations for food since you know, you’re just on a boat....how can they really cook THAT great of a meal? But honestly, it was better than thanksgiving and Christmas dinners combined. The chicken was tender, sweet potatoes must have had crack in them, and the SALAD?!!? Who knew a salad could be so good. Then we watched the sunset and had the most amazing whale experience of all time. We saw 3 whales in a pack that were taking a nap so we just sat next to them in the boat for about 30 minutes as we sat in awe and took pictures of them with the sunset in the background. Maybe about 5 yards away from them. We couldn’t even turn the boat back on because we were too close so probably spent an extra hour on the boat than was planned. But wait....there’s more!!! We jokingly asked if there was dessert (hoping there wasn’t because we were so full) and out came piping hot personal cherry pies- probably the best pie I’ve ever had. We’re still trying to figure out how they did it all. If you do ANYTHING while in Sayulita, this has to be it. Thank you Darrin and crew!!!!!

As Someone who comes to Sayulita often. I am constantly trying to find new and cool things to do with friends when I am there. I struck GOLD when Finding Darrin and Amor De Mar.
The communication on the days leading up to our cruise were outstanding, weather on the phone or via email. Darrin was inquisitive to our needs and requests and very responsive. He gave clear and easy directions on what we needed to bring and how to arrive.
From the moment we arrived to the marina we were treated with 5 star service and care from both Darrin and the crew. They think of everything possible and for the entirety of the trip they went above and beyond. (I would give you more in depth information but that is for you to discover!)
The food, drinks and everything else involved was AMAZING and nothing was overlooked.
Once back in the harbor Darrin also arranged for a cab to get us home and made sure that we had everything we came with and that our trip was perfect.
I have been on MANY boat rentals both in Sayulita and abroad and I can honestly say that this was the best experience I have ever had.
Private, peaceful and perfect! Weather you are partying with friends or want a quiet fun trip for a family night out. This is it.
If you do not book this trip you will regret it!

Hard to think of anything new to say that hasn't already been written....It's that good! Darrin works tirelessly to ensure you have a most memorable time. You shouldn't hesitate.
You'll always have a friend in Sayulita!

If you only do one trip while visiting do a sunset dining cruise on the Amor de Mar. We were treated to the best time on NYE and Darrin and his crew could not have been more professional and courteous.
This is a private tour and not expensive considering you get the whole boat to yourself. This really is a game changer and so much better than other tours I have been on with lots of people jostling for the best seats. This is high end luxury. Just laying on the soft beds at the front watching for whales and seeing the sunset was amazing.
Darrin is clearly an accomplished chef and this was the best meal we ate from our time in Sayulita. The Guac was creamy and light. Then we were served a three course meal of a green salad, not sure what was in the dressing but it was fantastic. We were then served chicken with a mushroom cream sauce, sweet potato and perfectly cooked vegetables followed with the best warm pecan pie I have ever tasted.
Mix in seeing two humpback whales from just 30 ft away, paddle boarding, cocktails and a perfect sunset for an unforgettable trip.
Thanks to Darrin and his crew this was a great way to turn the page on 2020 and enter 2021 with a smile. Thank you. We will be back.

We booked a private sunset cruise for six people and had one of the most memorable evenings here in Sayulita. Darrin, the owner, couldn't do enough to make our guests happy. Stepping on board his catamaran in La Cruz harbor, he had drinks and snacks waiting for us, and as we kicked off our shoes and relaxed on the deck, we knew we were in for a special night. The crew were attentive and respectful, and Darrin's chef skills were on full show as he prepared a delicious dinner. As the night drew in, we all moved to the front of the boat and huddled on the super-comfy deck cushions and took in the stunning coastline, some chill music sound tracking our journey home.

An unmissable experience that was everything it promised and then some. A new venture for Darrin, we wish him the best of luck and based on our experience, he’s already got a strong headwind behind him and sailing into a well-deserved, bright future with Amor De Mar Dinner Cruises.

The sunrise brunch cruise with Amor de Mar was absolutely magical. The Sierra Madres in the distance were stunning, the sunrise perfect as mother nature does, and we had the bonus of watching several whales. The gourmet breakfast topped it off. We loved every minute!

The difference between the Amor Del Mar and other charters is that the Captain and his crew are willing to make any wild dream or experience possible for you on the water. Anything can happen! Get creative !

So just rent the boat and make memories on the Amor Del Mar. Even if you rent it all night under the glowy stars or to see sunsets, sunrises, delicacies and diversions.

The Amor de Mar cruise is fantastic, watching the sunset aboard the boat was wonderful .. everything was excellent, Pancho, Chovo and Dario are exceptional ..
The boat is very nice and clean.
The food is delicious !! First they served us snacks (Nachos, Guacamole, Quesadillas, Totopos) and then a salad, accompanied by a delicious dinner.
Without a doubt some of the best things you can do when visiting Sayulita ..
I highly recommend them !!

We did extensive research into the "cruise scene" in Sayulita, La Cruz and PV... and this is by far the best bang for your buck.

Darrin was an excellent captain and his crew was fun, entertaining and amazing to us! Not only was the cruise great, but it may have been outdone by the 3+ course meal that we had during sunset. The food was incredible and for us it is truly the highlight of our 6 week trip to the Sayulita area.

Cannot recommend enough! We will be looking to book again before we have to leave :)

Darrin and crew were awesome. Three couples and two perritos decided to do a day cruise with the Sayula 1 crew to be back for dinner. We left early, and it was well worth it - getting on the calm water with the sun rising, eating fresh cut fruit and drinking coffee prepared for us before we got on board was just the bit of serotonin to get over our slight hangovers from the night before.

We headed south, to the other side of Bahia Banderas, and enjoyed the lillypad, SUPs, and snorkels on board. We saw 2 giant manta reys, a sea turtle, lots of fish, and a very secluded beach. We had plenty of drinks throughout the day that the bartender/chef was generous and responsive. Did I mention that we had a full omelet breakfast and delicious chicken fajita lunch on board as well?!

The highlight of the day was the trip back across the bay. We had swam, jumped, and snorkeled to our heart’s content, and all of that plus some tequila sunrises made for an awesome doze off on the trampoline portion of the trimaran. Post-nap our 3 couple party had a great time rocking out to some tunes as 3pm rolled around and we were back in La Cruz.

Ultimately we made the decision to choose Darrin’s boat for the value offered, communication, and flexibility in what experience we wanted. We would do the day trip again in a heartbeat!
