    We had a blast! The boat was perfect for what we did - my daughter’s 27th bday with a bunch of her friends. The seas were a bit angry that day but Capt Richard and the crew did a great job and kept us safe. I def recommend

    We had such an incredible time! Captain Andrews was the best. He was so much fun, informative & great at communicating everything along the way. This boat was beautiful & spacious even with 11 people on board. Thank you to the crew for helping us have an incredible birthday weekend for my mom. Would recommend this exact set up for anyone

    We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Stephen. He was accommodating in asking our goals for the day and making sure we could do everything as safely as possible. He adjusted the itinerary when one of the guests got seasick. We saw tons of dolphins and Stephen took photos for us throughout the excursion. Highly recommend!

    We had a great trip, which of course was helped along by the amazing weather. The boat is as advertised and fit comfortably our group of 12. Captain Guy and mate John were attentive and we much enjoyed a three hour sail through Santa Monica bay.

    We found the boat to be incredibly comfortable and spacious for our group of 11, including 6 adults and 5 young children. The boat offered numerous areas for both sunbathing and seeking shade, allowing us to make the most of our time on the water. Captain Rick and his first mate, Alexis, truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. They were both accommodating and professional, catering to our needs and ensuring our safety throughout the day.

    We all spent such a great time with captain Stephen and Madison! It was so much fun!! The boat has specious areas on the deck, so all of us could sit relaxed and enjoyed 360° views!
    Stephen entertained us and sailed slowly when we were watching the sea lions.
    He was so experienced and caring all my guests nicely.
    It was a great experience for my daughter’s 16th. Birthday party!!
    It was nice that the boat has Bluetooth speaker and we enjoyed our time listening the music. Thank you!

    The boat is old, dingy, and has very little usable space, our group of 7 was cramped and never comfortable. Our captain Sebastian was excellent, but the boat was extremely disappointing. To make it worse, the management vociferously complained about our arriving 30 minutes late, even though it cost them nothing, we did not extend past our paid time, and the time was our time to use as we desired. We were left feeling catfished with a bad taste in our mouths.

    CATFISH! I booked this boat ride for my brother’s birthday, and it was a huge letdown. We were a group of 8, and the boat claimed to fit 12, but it was cramped and uncomfortable. The pictures were totally misleading — the boat was old, dirty, and in poor condition. The captain did his job quietly, no issues there, but overall, it felt like a waste. I wouldn’t recommend this experience at all.I feel completely misled by the listing and honestly embarrassed that this was the gift I gave my bro

    It was a really beautiful yacht; la sirena. Gustavo was so prompt and informative with his messaging with me and we had an AWESOME time with captain Stephen. He chatted with me privately and provided the exact experience I was hoping for. I did get kind of sea sick on the open water, and he did everything he could to comfort me. All of my guests had a great time and I loved the paddle board. I would absolutely do this experience again!

Two bathrooms (men and women), a kitchen, and bed area to lay down if necessary. All crew were professional, nice, courteous, and safe. Explained safety rules clearly and concise. Made us feel right at home. Thanks for the great experience!!

    We had the absolute best time! Captain Guy was extremely friendly, accommodating, and welcoming to my silly pirate themed group for my 30th birthday. Upon arrival, he let us know what he thought was best for our party, where to take us, what to do, and it worked out perfectly. He accommodated any sick passengers while still making sure everyone had a good time. Everyone was raving about it, cannot recommend this boat/captain/company enough! Thank you again!

    Boat is good size,clean. Gustavo is prompt in responding to texts and is very polite gentleman. The reason for 3 star is because the A/C , microwave, cooking range nothing worked. We were hot and on intercostal water for less than an hour . It was my special birthday and I wanted to be on water and on ocean for some time out of 3 hours and he had promised to take us to ocean before I booked. Also he asked for $500 for captain fee (besides gratuity) while the Boatsetter bill was $400 Captain fee.

They were so nice, very knowledgeable & showed us multiple great spots. 110% recommend this booking, can't wait to go again!

Nick was a great bosun, having the lily pad ready and making sure the kids were safe. The boat itself was immaculate and very comfortable for our group of 11 people. What an incredible experience. We spent only 4 hours on the boat but have spent the entire weekend talking about amazing it was! Many thanks!

    We had a great time! Sebastian was a wonderful captain. We set food out inside and all of us were able to fit - 11 of us - to eat. We used the cooler there, it’s very big, we didn’t bring enough ice but everything was cold so it worked out. The chairs and cushions were very useful as most of us sat while only a few got in the water. The water got pretty choppy so we went back to the marina area for calmer waters which worked perfectly. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you!

    We had a great time celebrating a friend’s birthday. We really enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding around the marina. Highly recommend!
