Why go
The former port captaincy houses a museum focused on Mexico's naval history, making it a useful stop for visitors interested in the sea beyond beaches and boats. Look for the maritime collection inside and allow time to connect the exhibits with Puerto Vallarta's working waterfront outside. The attraction depends on indoor access, so confirm current hours before going; a closed building would not offer the same experience from the street.
What to look for
- Naval history exhibits inside the old port captaincy
- Short cultural stop near the central waterfront
