PUERTO VALLARTA – WHAT IS A PANGA?

April 19, 2018
Puerto Vallarta

Are you read for an all-inclusive Mexico vacation deals, the way like we do?…

Puerto Vallarta is seriously a destination to visit and explore Nature with the ever lovely boat rides, enthralling dancing whale shows & the most unforgettable day trips to Yelapa, Las Animas and other sweetsops lying beside the south shore.

Out of all the exotic destination points, the aquatic blue Marieta Islands are a must to recommend for sightseeing though not supporting that disembarking onto the land, since it’s a Nature sanctuary.

Recently, we have been investigated about our understanding for the pangas in Puerto Vallarta and were being asked about the regulations and safety precautions while traveling in   small open skiffs that take us out on cruises.It’s a story of a few years back when we used to be silent companion of a panga, handed over and licensed to a competent sailor from Mismaloya. We were equally excited to push him forward through the extensive registration process while operating the panga, backed by sincere prayers for him.

Operating a panga in Puerto Vallarta isn’t that much scenario and still it isn’t-It does require official approval and authority from Federal Government of the state and the process is bit lengthy and time-taking plus costly too. One cannot simply buy a boat, launch it into water and start snatching undue fares from the passengers without a written consent to sail and a certification in hand.

For your cruise in Puerto Vallarta to hire, there is one thing that you can be assure of and that is the expertise of the Capitan governing your vessel after being going through a rigorous session of training and passing CPR and advanced safety and first aid standards to qualify . Alongside, the captain also needs to undergo a comprehensive psychical examination that includes drug testing, substance abuse testing and medical examination against chronic diseases like, diabetes, stamina, heart and a fundamental eye checkup.

The prerequisite navigation certification acquire many devoted hours of struggle and extensive training to achieve that merit-based prestigious Certificado de Turismo (Certification of Tourism), which is awarded by the Governor of Jalisco at an exclusive ceremony.

Of course, this physical training is all-inclusive of the traveling costs across the regional transfers to areas like, Guadalajara, Manzanillo and Tepic that may requires an overnight stay at times .Therefore, it is recommended to carry all the official permits within the boat while traveling when it is underway with passengers along with necessary paper work required for permissible snorkeling, whale watching, and fishing sessions unlimited.

For the most part, the captains and crew of the Puerto Vallarta cruises are very well-mannered and organized to help the passengers in reaching out their destination spots safe & sound especially for the new travelers to explore the exciting Mexico vacation spots.

Every boat is made equipped with proper number of first aid kits, life-rings and life jackets for emergency situations .Every passenger is advised to wear a ‘safety’ hat to preserve for kids, ladies and adults. But out of these, many passengers acts stubborn by not actually listening the advice of the captain of their vessel to wear those hefty, multi-colored jackets for safety and creating a ‘mess’ as if they are interfering in their privacy zones.

Don’t be like one of those unpleasant travelers for others and the cruise and react politely to captain’s instructions and advise your children to wear the accessories immediately for the sake of your own protection
