BOAT ADDENDUM

During their stay Beidisia guests can select one of the following marine options.  Given the size of Con Gusto there will be a small charge. However, this is the owner’s private boat and not a charter, so the charge is not a rental fee but merely reimbursement for the expense of running the boat during the guest’s chosen excursion.   

• • Boca to Las Animas Hike.  Board the boat at your leisure in La Cruz, a 10 minute drive from the house.  Our Captain and crew will take you across the Bay passing by the Puerto Vallarta water front, the lavish home of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, made famous in the film “Night of the Iguana”, and the majestic rock formations knows as Los Arcos.  You first destination is Boca de Tamatlan, a bustling town on the South side of the Bay that marks the end of the formal road.  From Boca all traffic to the rest of the Southern arm of the Bay is by boat, ATV, or mule.  The hike begins at Boca’s harbor and takes you through the town, across the Tamatlan River by rope bridge or concrete bridge if you prefer.  Once on the Western side of the river the homes are very rustic and traditional and quickly give way to a jungle path that climbs through the hillside with stunning views of the Bay and the Ocean.  The hike can be roughly divided into 2 parts punctuated by a beautiful small beach and cove in the middle.  There are other secluded beaches along the way so bring a bathing suit with you as the water starts to look ever more enticing as the hike progresses.  The hike ends in the smalll beachside town of Las Animas.  As you approach the town you will encounter a couple of small boutique hotels that are always happy to provide weary hikers with a house made margarita or two.  While you have been hiking and exploring Captain Angel will have brought the boat from Boca harbor to Las Animas beach.  When you are ready to get back on the water simple call Angel and he will send the tender to pick you up at the pier.  Once you return to the boat there will be plenty of time to swim, sunbathe and enjoy the scenery before enjoying a delicious lunch on the flybridge as you cruise gently back to La Cruz.  The hike is rated a 3 out of 5 in difficulty due to some short sections that are relatively steep.  Most of the trail is in the jungle and shaded from the sun, but there are open beach sections so a hat and sun screen are advised.  It is also important to take plenty of water which the staff will have ready for you.  The hike itself although modest in mileage (about 2.5 miles in total), takes roughly 2 hours plus whatever time you spend swimming, visiting local shops, or sipping drinks at a beach hotel.  Including cruising time assume a 4 to 5 hour adventure.  

• • Sunset and Champagne.  For this option you leave the dock in La Cruz a couple of hours before sunset.  You will cruise west along the northern side of the Bay to the calm waters off the town of Punta de Mita.  This is a perfect place for a late afternoon dip.  From there you head south towards deeper water and the beautiful Marrietas Islands.  The Islands are a national bird sanctuary so no landing is possible but the topography and the surrounding waters are compelling.  As the sun begins to sink on the horizon, gather on the foredeck or the fly bridge to enjoy chilled champagne and canopies while you watch a sky radiant with red, orange and pink colors.  The return leg to La Cruz is also beautiful as dusk settles over the Bay and the lights of the towns begin to flicker on.  The cruise will be about 3.5 hours.

• • Whale Watching.  From early December to early March the Bay of Banderas becomes home to hundreds of Canadian Humpback whales.  These magnificent creatures come to mate, give birth, and practice the skills that will enhance their survival.  It is a wonderful time in the Bay.  Con Gusto is laid out with several ideal areas for viewing the whales.  The boat is also equipped with an automatic stabilization system which reduces roll for those times when it is necessary to stay still in the water as you watch the whales in their natural habitat.  On a whale watching excursion the entire bay is our playground.  The captain is in radio contact with other vessels on the Bay and wherever there is substantial whale activity – we will be there too.  Depending on the time of day either breakfast, lunch or hearty appetizers will be served on the boat.  There will also be ample opportunities to jump in the water for a refreshing dip. Typically a whale excursion lasts about 3 to 4 hours.

Guests who would like to participate in one of these activities will be asked to sign a traditional Waiver and Conditions of Use Agreement before their trip aboard CON GUSTO.  This can be handled via DocuSign or in person at the house.
