In a city filled with boat tours, Tamale’s Tours has carved out something distinctly its own — earning Favorite Boat Tours at the We Are Puerto Vallarta Awards by offering more than just a day on the water.
Founded by Tamale Ringwald, also known as Danyol León. and his husband Sugarbaker, the experience was designed from the beginning to feel different. What sets Tamale’s apart is its focus on connection. While many tours emphasize speed, sightseeing or party energy, this one leans into community — creating a space where guests feel welcomed, included and part of something larger.
The experience begins the moment guests step aboard the 75-foot yacht, greeted with mimosas, music and a relaxed, social atmosphere. From there, the day unfolds as a curated mix of lounging, swimming and exploring secluded beaches, all balanced with a level of service that feels elevated but never formal.
A private chef prepares meals on board, the bar flows freely, and the pace allows guests to move between quiet moments and high-energy fun. But it’s not just the amenities — it’s the intention behind them. Every detail is designed to create an experience that feels personal, not transactional.
Tamale’s Tours has also become a staple within Puerto Vallarta’s LGBTQ+ community. Open to “everybody and every body,” the cruise brings together locals, visitors, performers and friends in an environment rooted in authenticity and inclusion.
Unlike larger, more commercial excursions, the limited group size keeps the experience intimate, allowing connections to form naturally throughout the day.
In the end, what sets Tamale’s Tours apart isn’t just the yacht, the food or the destination — it’s the feeling guests leave with. Not just memories of a day at sea, but of a shared experience.
