Celebrations on the Good Times Yacht Party in Marina Del Rey
We had an amazing time on our sunset yacht ride with Alex as our captain! I booked it for a girls’ outing, and it exceeded all our expectations. There was plenty of space to dance, relax, and catch up. Alex was super accommodating and easy to communicate with—he responded quickly to any questions we had over DM or text and was very clear with parking info and day-of instructions. The whole experience was smooth and stress-free. Would absolutely book with him again!

21' Duffy Electric boat in Marina del Rey, California
We all enjoyed the ride and the scenery. We’re happy we’re planning to self-captain but having the actual captain worked out great. He had fun stories about many of the boats docked in the Marina and provided good commentary on the surroundings. Would definitely recommend.

21ft Duffy Boat with Crystal Clear Window Enclosures and S'mores Maker!
Kris’ boat was wonderful for my birthday. We opted out on having a driver as one of my friend had boating experience. Communication on Kris and his team’s behalf was great. And the actual boat was very clean and easy to handle. Would recommend!

Pearson 323 Day Sailing Cruising Adventure in Marina Del Rey
We had a lovely, relaxing sail from Marina Del Rey to Santa Monica and back. Gustavo was a great and brave captain even letting us have a shot at driving.

Gustavo was incredibly informative and clearly passionate about sailing. My family and I loved learning all the behind-the-scenes details, he made the whole experience so engaging. The sailboat was very comfortable, and being out on the water was truly unforgettable. Gustavo’s friendly and welcoming nature made it even better. We 100% recommend sailing with him!
