Ixtapa Sunset Seafood Cruise and Tasting

Local boat operators in Ixtapa, booked through hotels and Viator, run this sunset cruise departing from Marina Ixtapa and anchoring briefly off Isla Ixtapa for a seated seafood tasting. The three-hour outing combines a scenic cruise with onboard tastings of ceviche and shrimp cocktail, followed by grilled dorado served at anchor, and includes an open bar of beer and regional mezcal. The price covers the cruise, all tastings, and the beverage service; hotel transport to the marina and gratuities are not included. Groups typically run twelve to twenty passengers sharing the boat, the tour is narrated in Spanish and English, and the pace is relaxed, built around sunset timing rather than a fixed schedule. Life jackets are provided, and the operator recommends confirming conditions in advance during the rainy season, when departures are sometimes adjusted.
