We have a fleet of six boats/yachts, from 18', 31', 40', 44', 53' and 55', which will accommodate 2 to 12 guests, departing from Marina del Rey to all points in Santa Monica Bay. Whatever your party theme, we can help make it the best on the water experience for you and for your guests. Perfect for birthday/anniversary, bachelor/bachelorette, corporate retreats, whale watching/Santa Monica Bay cruises, memorials and film shoots. Do you need something special? Just ask!

History

Established in 2018.

We started Parties at Sea after I had been a yacht charter captain for some years, and noticed that there was a demand for yacht charters captained by people experienced in the event and party planning industry as we could take a bare boat rental and make it into an unforgettable experience.

Departing from Marina del Rey, CA, we are able to take guests all around Santa Monica Bay, from Malibu through Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, Venice, and the Bay Cities to Palos Verdes Peninsula.
