Where to sail in Los Angeles?

Southern California offers a variety of things to see and do, but none of them quite beat a day out on the water with your very own private yacht charter. So here are our top destinations and things to do with your Los Angeles boat rental:

Plan a day trip to Long Beach! Enjoy the area’s beautiful coves and beaches, as well as marinas for a chance to dock’n’dine.

Charter a yacht and spend a long weekend or even a week at Santa Catalina Island. Fall in love with the Mediterranean-esque towns of Avalon or Two Harbors which offer plenty of dining options, shopping, and entertainment. With a private yacht charter, you can moor in the bay and take advantage of sunbathing, snorkeling, and practicing water sports like wake surfing, wakeboarding, and water skiing.

Perhaps you can set out on a beach/town-hopping adventure down the SoCal Coast. Make a stop at Redondo Beach, see the sea lions, check out Newport Beach, and end up in San Diego. And if you’re a passionate angler, you will want to take an extra couple of days in San Diego for some fishing!

The Channel Islands are another can’t-miss, and a true adventure if you are looking for a thrill.

Set sail north of Los Angeles and head in the direction of San Francisco, Oakland, and the famous Golden Gate Bridge! And if you have time, we highly recommend you visit Big Sur, known for its dramatic cliffs and overall stunning views.

When is the best time to go?

Because of LA’s location, boating is an activity you can enjoy year-round due to plenty of sunshine and mild to warm temperatures! However, you can expect a lot more boaters out on the water during the late Spring (April), throughout the Summer, until early October.

Locals and visitors alike enjoy boating as a way to cool off from the hot summer sun. So with this in mind, think about booking your Los Angeles yacht charter in advance to make sure that you can have your dream boat for the day or even the week!
