    This date is available.

Rent this Beneteau 40 Cruising Monohull for up to 6 people in Marina Del Rey, California. Rate as low as $125 per hour (full day rate) and minimum booking of 2 hours as you really need that much time to get out of the marina and actually do some sailing. Please know that I can not usually respond to requests while I am sailing so you may not hear back from me until the evening. Rates: • 2-hours minimum: $150 per hour for 1-6 people • Full Day: 10% discount on hourly rate • 2-Days: $1,900 (overnight rate usually to Catalina includes some provisions and all island fees) What You Can Expect: Sail with Captain Mark. I am a native of Los Angeles and have been sailing out of Marina Del Rey my whole life. I raced sailboats for over 25 years and I have been a USCG licensed captain for over 17 years. I love to teach anyone interested in learning something about sailing. You would be surprised what you can pick up in just a few hours. Take command and learn or just enjoy the sail! We can go for a Santa Monica Bay day sail or for a full day go anchor and swim usually up in Malibu. Catalina overnights (Weekend and overnight rates on request). Max group size is 6 people unless we are going to Catalina. There are only two private cabins on the boat so we try to keep that to 4 people or a family with younger children. It would be your call though. The pricing you are quoted is all-inclusive. There are no extra fees or charges. Day sails include soft drinks and water. You are allowed to bring food and alcohol if you like. We have a small refrigerator and a freezer onboard to store your food and drinks.

    Mark is highly competent, and very hospitable. His boat is well maintained and comfortable to sail. As a former sailor myself, I highly recommend him for a pleasant day on the ocean. Henry

    One of the best boating experiences I’ve ever had. My friends and I had a blast. Mark was kind and took great care of us. He’s also extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sailing - we learned so much! We will be back next summer.

    Captain Mark is an excellent Skipper, Instructor (if you wish, which we did) and host. He has a very friendly personality and is open to suggestions and requests. We truly enjoyed the afternoon with Captain Mark ! We will certainly book again with him.

Hi , I have been a USCG Master licensed Captain since 2009. I starting sailing when I was 11 with my brother an eight foot sabot and have never stopped. I raced keel boats for over 25 years and still like to get in a little race every now and then. I have been a Captain on vessels as large as a 75 foot expedition yacht and sailed in locations around the world. Sailing is my passion and I would love to share it with you. Please join me soon.
