Stabilizers, Huge Bow Cushion, Bar Deck - 50ft Motor Yacht in Marina del Rey, Los Angeles
The yacht was awesome, actually even better than I expected. It had a full inside area, a large rear seating area and a large area in the front so there was plenty of room for everyone. They even took our food and drinks we bought and set it all up as a spread, had serving utensils trays and other things, very prepared. I rented this for my birthday for a 3hr trip around Santa Monica area, everyone had a great time, definitely recommend.

Sailing 22' Columbia for up to 6 people in Marina del Rey
Gustavo is an awesome guy with an easygoing attitude and friendly demeanor. He was very open to allowing me (an experienced sailor) to take full control of the vessel, but also stepped in when I wanted to chill and enjoy the beautiful views. Ask him to put on his sailing playlist - it's a great cruising vibe.

Sailing 22' Columbia for up to 6 people in Marina del Rey
What a magical evening! Gustavo was amazing as the captain, very welcoming and knowledgeable with an excellent playlist of songs. We had a nice strong breeze and got good speed in the open water. The boat would probably have been a bit small for a very large group but was the perfect size for the two of us + captain. Gorgeous sunset with seals, birds, an afternoon to remember!

Matthew
LAGOON 420 Catamaran Sailing Adventure in Marina del Rey
Rented the vessel from 3-6 to get a sunset in. Captain and first mate were lovely people and was happy they were part of my birthday experience. Music was easy to connect to the speakers. They had drinks and beverages for us set up already which was nice. It was cold being in Feb but we had tons of blankets. Would rent for another hour or two next time during the summer. There is snorkeling gear on board and the interior is absolutely lovely. We saw sea lions and dolphins which was awesome. My friends had a blast and we plan to rent the boat again this summer when it’s warmer. Rate isn’t bad either with enough people.
