The friendly and knowledgeable Captain Alberto, who speaks excellent English, offers exciting private charters and custom tours aboard the Lucero, a lovely and well-maintained 28-foot panga with full bow cushion, comfortable cushioned seats and plenty of shade from the elements. With a long line of family in the area spanning back well over 100 years, Captain Alberto grew up along the beautiful Bay of Banderas so his deep familiarity with the area and the bay makes him the perfect tour guide for your upcoming excursion. The stories and historical information he loves to share are truly fascinating. And it must be said that he is a bit of a comedian! But that just makes his tours that much more lively, fun and enjoyable for everyone.

As well as being fully insured, this responsible tour operator has up-to-date licenses with all applicable permits for all activities offered aboard the panga. The Lucero can accommodate 8 passengers and a crew of 2. A wide range of services are offered to include: fishing, snorkeling, sightseeing, whale watching (seasonal), lunch on specific beaches depending on accessibility (there’s no beach accessibility on the north side of the bay due to shallow water and rocks), or a custom combination of these activities. All equipment is furnished. Captain Alberto prides himself on being able to provide personalized attention for each of his guests, helping them to create special and lasting memories of their time spent on the sparkling waters of Banderas Bay, Mexico.

UPDATE:  Captain Alberto no longer provides the service of grouping of various tourists together for outings as recently too many persons have been no-shows, leaving the remaining passengers alone to cover the cost of the excursion.
