Luxury Sailing Power 58 foot Catamaran in Marina del Rey

Camille

the owners, don and randi, are lovely people who are based on the east coast and have just started chartering their amazing vessel out of MDR. we were fortunate enough to book a 2 night charter to catalina with a group of our closest friends (9 adults + 2 kids). we had a couple of surprises for our guests including a surprise wedding and baby announcement! don and randi were as excited as we were and were super accommodating to our requests. the boat itself was magnificent. 5 bedroom, 5 bath with a full kitchen (5 burner gas stove, small oven, microwave, full fridge/freezer, wine fridge inside; drink fridge and tiny bbq grill outside). there are tvs in the living room and in the huge master. keep in mind if youre doing an overnight, that the captain needs their own room - we had one adult sleep on the couch and the 2 kids slept outside on the covered patio. there's also a tender and 2 paddle boards. i think theres wifi but it didnt work on our trip. plenty of space for the 11 of us. we cooked full gourmet meals but also had the option to check out a few catalina restaurants. we had an amazing trip overall and saw dolphins, whales, flying fish and sea lions - oh my! however, i do think its worth mentioning that the captain that was hired by the owners was a bit lacking. turns out the "deck hand" he brought along was actually his girlfriend and it seemed he was more interested in entertaining her than accommodating our needs. when i mentioned this to don and randi, they were mortified, apologetic, and promised to make it up to us. however i really loved working with them and have no hesitation in booking (or recommending) again - in fact, our group had such a great time we talked about making it an annual trip!
