To begin with, the Marigalante Pirate Ship was constructed in 1992.

The non-profit organization took seven years to create the Marigalante that currently offers one of Puerto Vallarta’s top tours. Completed in 1987, the Marigalante first sailed from Veracruz to Santona in Cantabria, Spain. Next, the pirate ship continued on to Seville. Lastly, the ship traveled to Guadalquivir to deliver 10,000 coins in a wooden chest. Today, the chest is displayed in Seville’s main Cathedral in its “La Antiqua” chapel.
