If it’s gonna happen, we’re gonna make it happen right here!!!
Interim Commodore Eric Bloomquist inspired members at the Annual General Meeting on March 25th by highlighting all of the progress the yacht club has made in this past year by coming together to rise above the challenges that faced us and looking forward to continuing the momentum we started. He is committed to the club “doing BIG things” in the sailing world and to improving its financial stability. Taking a slogan from the recent BBR’s theme from Captain Ron, Eric declared that “If it’s gonna happen, we’re gonna make it happen right here!” Those in attendance rallied to that battle cry with enthusiasm and optimism for the bright future. Many brought forth ideas on how they can help move the club forward into a club that thrives socially, fiscally and as a boating venue.
Banderas Bay Regatta – Where FUN Wins Every Time!
Captain Ron himself couldn’t have thrown a better party! With more parties than races, we’re pretty sure that’s exactly what the founders had in mind—and the 32nd annual Banderas Bay Regatta stayed true to tradition. Over 200 crew members, volunteers, and organizers wrapped up the weeklong celebration with dancing, drinks, awards, and heartfelt tributes. Cheers to the winners—both on and off the water!

Sailing isn’t just a sport - it’s a passion, a challenge, and a lifelong adventure.
The Vallarta Sailing Foundation (VSF) is at the heart of this spirit in Banderas Bay, working tirelessly to give young sailors the opportunity to chase their dreams on the water.
Their mission is simple yet powerful: to support young Mexican sailors as they grow from beginners to national, international, and even Olympic-level competitors. Thanks to their efforts, local sailors have had the chance to race in major events like the Nacionales CONADE, the National Optimist Championships, and the Mayan Wind Fest. Some such as Elena Oetling have even gone on to represent Mexico on the world stage during the Olympics in Paris!
Love was in the air at the Vallarta Yacht Club this Valentine's Day, where members and guests gathered for an unforgettable evening of romance, fine dining, and enchanting music. The event was a celebration of love, elegance, and community, leaving everyone with cherished memories.
The highlight of the evening was the captivating performance by Gio, an acclaimed violinist known for his soulful and passionate renditions. As couples enjoyed their meals, Gio serenaded the room with romantic classics and contemporary favorites, creating an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy.
The culinary experience was equally exceptional. Guests were treated to a gourmet menu crafted with care, featuring elegant dishes that delighted the senses. From the first course to the decadent dessert, each plate was beautifully presented and expertly prepared, reflecting the Yacht Club's commitment to excellence.
The ambiance was enhanced by thoughtfully arranged table settings, which included stylish linens, tasteful centerpieces, and carefully selected dinnerware that added charm without being overly elaborate. The attention to detail in the décor created a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complemented the evening’s romantic theme.
Throughout the evening, laughter, conversation, and the sweet melodies of Gio's violin filled the air, making this Valentine's Day celebration at Vallarta Yacht Club a night to remember. As the event came to a close, guests departed with hearts full of joy and appreciation for an evening of love, music, and culinary delight.
