Rainbow Dancer is the premier gay cruise of Puerto Vallarta.  Part of what has made these cruises so special is the yacht itself. 

Rainbow Dancer is a Hans Christian 41 Traditional sailing yacht.   She is on an extended stay in Puerto Vallarta as part of a very long term trip around the world.  Rainbow Dancer left San Francisco Bay on July 1, 1995, and has flown the gay flag aloft ever since, cruising most of the pacific coast south of San Francisco, California, to Ixtapa, Mexico.   

On deck she is a very traditional sailing yacht, including teak decks, bronze hardware, boom gallows, butterfly hatches as well as more modern hatches fashioned in bronze, modern rigging hardware, and stainless safety equipment. 

Inside, below deck, Rainbow Dancer is a luxury class vessel, including marble counters, lots of brass and bronze and beautifully varnished teak.  Her galley is fully equipped, including gimbaled stove, oven, microwave, deep stainless steel dual sinks, dedicated freezer as well as large separate refrigerator.  Our trips include a full gourmet menu that is prepared here by our ship's chef.  A trip aboard Rainbow Dancer includes an opportunity to see a yacht galley in full swing.
