ℹ️ About Papi Beach
Papi Beach is a new luxury gay party boat and sunset cruise to a secluded gay beach club, every Thursday afternoon. The beach party starts on a 3 level luxury catamaran at Los Muertos Beach Pier in the Zona Romántica, with a live DJ playing Afro House and premium open bar from the moment you step on board. The luxury boat cruises down the coast of Banderas Bay to a secluded gay beach club you can only reach by sea, where the party continues with a wood-fired beachside buffet, swimming, sun, dancing by the water, and time to mingle and flirt with other guys. Watch the sunset from the beach, then sail back to the Marina with the party still going.
