It's all about the Good Times on our luxurious Cruiser Yacht in Marina del Rey
Alex is a first-class captain with a beautiful boat. We had an incredible excursion with the most beautiful sunset. We were also lucky to watch dolphins swim nearby!

Jeff and Brian made everything easy and fun. The boat was easy to find and board. This is a great way to be around the people you want to be with and have a great time. The cost of the trip is cheaper than a bar tab. Great value. Thanks! See you next year.

the boat was absolutely beautiful and extremely spacious! the bottom was a great place to have a drink and relax with a table and booth to sit at. the top of the boat had gorgeous views to take cute pictures and a nice tanning area! there was also tables and more booths for people to sit at on the other side of the boat. Navas was extremely kind and easy to communicate with. he was very attentive and made sure we knew it was our boat so that we could have a perfect trip!! would recommend to any couple or group of friends looking for a fun and enjoyable getaway!

We had a wonderful time on our boat trip. Brian was a great captain and took us around to see the seals. When we asked if we could add an hour on because we were having such a great time we were accommodated. Would definitely recommend this company to anybody in the San Diego area.
