The Marigalante pirate ship is a replica of La Santa María, made of metal with wooden cladding. It weighs approximately 800 tons and has three wooden masts with triangular sails and four impressive decks with a total capacity of 240 passengers.
It has professional lighting and sound equipment. Forty five-liter tanks with ABC extinguishing liquid, ladies' restrooms with eight toilets, men's restrooms with five toilets and three urinals.
Born of steel and fire in 2008 on the shores of Mazatlán, the Jolly Roger was forged from metal and wood to dominate the Seven Seas.
After conquering the heart of Puerto Vallarta in 2009, destiny called it to the turquoise waters of Cancun in 2013, where for years it reigned as both the terror and the joy of the Caribbean. But a true legend is written with loyalty, not just nautical miles.
In December, an echo resounded across the ocean. Its sister-in-arms, La Marigalante, sent out a final call after being claimed by the depths.
Without a moment’s hesitation, the Jolly Roger unfurled its black sails for an epic voyage: it sailed from Cancun to Puerto Vallarta, defying currents and crossing the mighty Panama Canal to carry on its sister ship's legacy in Banderas Bay.
Today, the Jolly Roger takes the name La Marigalante II, continuing the legacy of a vessel that has survived the high seas.
When you step on board, you aren’t just entering a ship; you are joining a crew that has crossed continents to ensure your only concern is enjoying the best show in Puerto Vallarta.
