About this Experience

What you'll do:

You and up to 11 of your people board a 49-foot Sport Yacht in San Diego's Mission Bay, take over the entire vessel, and spend three hours on the water entirely on your own terms.

  • Take the helm or bring a captain!: Charter bareboat if someone in your group holds a valid USCG license, or add a licensed captain at $125/hr so every single person in your group gets to be a full guest from the moment you board.

  • Explore Mission Bay and beyond!: Cruise the calm, sun-lit stretch of Mission Bay, push toward open ocean, or drop anchor in a quiet cove while your group does exactly what it wants with the afternoon.

  • Run your own soundtrack!: Connect to the onboard sound system, arrange the deck the way you want it, and set a pace that matches your group's energy rather than anyone else's schedule.

  • Add a sushi spread mid-cruise!: A freshly prepared sushi platter for up to 10 guests gets served on the water, the kind of detail that shifts a good boat day into something people talk about weeks later.

  • Upgrade with a charcuterie board!: An artisan arrangement of meats, cheeses, and crackers arrives on deck ready to serve, no prep, no cleanup coordination, no thinking required.

From the moment you step aboard to the moment you dock, the boat is yours: the guest list, the vibe, and the schedule are entirely under your control on one of San Diego's most recognizable stretches of water.

Why we love it for your group:

  1. Full vessel privacy! Your group of up to 12 holds the entire 49-foot yacht for the duration, which means the energy, pace, and music belong entirely to you.

  2. Captain add-on available! A licensed captain with local Mission Bay knowledge can be booked for $125/hr so no one has to skipper and everyone arrives at the dock the same way they left: having had a good time.

  3. Flexible charter windows! Three to eight-hour options mean your private yacht rental in San Diego fits a quick sunset run or a full afternoon out on the water.

  4. Sushi cruise upgrade! Freshly prepared sushi for up to 10 guests served onboard adds a level of detail that separates a boat party from a boat party people keep talking about.

  5. Charcuterie platter add-on! Artisan meats, cheeses, and crackers arranged and ready before you board, no plates to manage and no stress at the start of your charter.
