California Luxury Yacht Charters

There’s nothing quite like exploring the west coast of America on a luxury yacht charter vacation.  The best time of year for a California yacht charter is from May to November, however Southern California’s season can be enjoyed all year round. During your voyage, your captain will probably dock in one of the two natural harbours, San Diego or San Francisco Bay.  There are plenty of man-made attractions, natural playgrounds and dramatic landscapes to enjoy on shore. It’s not surprising that California attracts millions of visitors from around the world every year. This sunshine state, located on the western coast of the US also has attractions galore.

Take a stunning coastal drive in a 4x4, try sailing on Lake Tahoe or watch a killer whale in action at SeaWorld in San Diego. The Redwood National Park as is also well worth a visit. The park has a forest of the world’s tallest trees, fantastic scenic routes as well as enjoyable activities like horse riding and mountain biking.

With its Hollywood heritage and characterful islands, cruising is ideal in Southern California. Newport Beach is the perfect playground for mega yachts. The waters at Newport Beach, just off the coast of Los Angeles are also popular with Hollywood legends. From John Wayne to Dean Martin, Marilyn Monroe and Angelina Jolie, many stars have enjoyed and still do enjoy the laid-back atmosphere here. Moor up at Newport Beach Yacht Club, one of the oldest in the US and take a stroll over the bridge to Balboa Island. The island has sweet houses with white picket fences, salt water taffy shops as well as clapboard ice-cream stores, it’s full of nostalgia.

During a trip to California as part of your yacht charter itinerary, why not add Disneyland to your must-visit list? Located in Anaheim, Disneyland’s world-famous amusement park is ideal for all the family.  There’s a movie theatre, thrilling roller coaster rides to dazzling shows, Disney characters to themed neighbourhoods like Tarzan’s Treehouse. Relax and recharge your batteries on Venice Beach, Los Angeles. It’s one of L.A.’s most popular beaches, a laid-back three-mile sandy beach, ideal for topping up your tan. Check out Ocean Front Walk with its street performers, people doing their own thing, biking, roller skating and even bodybuilding.

No trip to California would be complete without seeing the iconic Golden Gate Bridge near San Francisco. This famous red-orange bridge is one of the most photographed bridges in the world. After visiting the Golden Gate Bridge, why not ask your captain to either sail north to Long Beach, south to San Diego or even further south to Mexico?

OUR CLIENTS SAY IT BEST

We had a birthday party onboard the Regency tonight. The entire crew were amazing. Francini was our director and made sure everything was set up and all of our needs were met. She was very kind, made sure everyone had a good time. She made herself available to all of our guests through the entire cruise.

What can I say except that this company provides excellence in everything that they do! I rarely find such genuine care and comfort from the beginning of the process to the end – I felt very taken care of and valued. In addition, the party was better than I expected! The service was amazing, the food was outstanding – I am still getting comments even months after – my guests are still telling me what a great time they had and asking when are we going to do it again! All of my guests (and me too) loved cruising into the sunset with cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres on the sky deck, dining at dusk with the great cafe lighting that Asdruval Party Rentals provided and then dancing the night away to awesome music by Brad at Rhythm City!

My cousins rented a Yacht for my Aunt’s 70th birthday party. We launched from Marina Del Ray and the boat did a loop around the marina for 5 hours. It goes by pretty fast especially since you’ll be enjoying dinner, entertainment, and when available, the open bar. The staff were amazing and the bartender kept up with all the orders with no hiccup. Years ago, my other cousin had a reception on another type of Yacht for their wedding reception. Maybe one day I’ll throw something on a Yacht and invite my closest friends. I think this is a better way to throw a special party than the usual land locked location.

I had my 50th birthday party on October 27th 2017. Erin was my party planner she made sure everything ran smoothly I had no worries. The decorations were beautiful I had a gatsby-themed party. I wish I could name everyone who helped on the yacht. I had 130 guess on the DANDEANA yacht all my guests were attended to no problems. The food was delicious the drinks were great the service was fabulous. This is my second yacht charter with this company and they never seem to fail me. Thank you everyone who helped for me to have a grand 50th birthday even the ones behind the scenes, I appreciate you all I’ll see you at my next event thank you everyone. Captain was great; thank you Jeffrey for greeting everyone. The casino on board was perfect, my band was great, my DJ was great. Thanks again I will never forget this day.

We held my Mom’s 70th birthday here on 1028 and we had an amazing time. The boat was gorgeous, very clean, modern and elegant. The staff was extremely attentive and helpful. Our planner, Erin, was very helpful. She was flexible and accommodated all of my needs, and gave great advice given her experience. I would absolutely recommend this boat for any of your parties.

Fantasea hosted my mother’s ash scattering at sea earlier today and I could not have been happier with the results. The food and service were excellent! Kudos to Jasmine, Erin, Capt Luis, Capt Carlos, Mariano, Julio, Wilson and Francini for their wonderful team work! I highly recommend Fantasea!

FantaSea is the premier provider of yacht charters and rentals in Southern California. We’re ideal for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, yacht parties, and all celebrations!

Great Company Excellent yacht

Preety good business site and a lovely location also you can make sure your joy with the enjoyment of that place

If you’re looking for a yacht for an event or party in Southern California, truly look no further! Luxury Liners has in incredible fleet to choose from. And if it’s not in their fleet, they will use their incredible network to find it. I just celebrated my birthday in Santa Barbara, and they found me an incredible 100 person yacht within 3 weeks of my date! They even went above and beyond to help me arrange party buses from their contacts, to transport my party from LA to Santa Barbara for the day. Brian and his team ensure you have everything you need including options for catered events, and a full bar staff. They made my birthday a dream, and I’m so grateful that they coordinated everything for me – making the event planning process less stressful. This is my third birthday party with them, and it won’t be my last!

Beautiful party yacht

My wife and I had the greatest anniversary (20 years in Feb, 2010) ever riding along the harbor in this wonderful boat. She still talks about it, so I just had to come by and make a comment.

Twin Powered 32ft Bayliner Luxury Power Boat 🛥️

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience celebrating my daughter's sweet sixteen with Captain Samet! From start to finish, he was incredibly sweet, helpful, and easy to be around. I was initially skeptical about booking through GetMyBoat since it was my first time using the platform, but it far exceeded my expectations. Samet, thank you so much for an amazing 4 hours on the water. I'm pretty sure we were the loudest and craziest group you've ever had—sorry for all the repeated questions! I can't help but laugh every time I think back to our conversations. I’m so grateful you didn’t cancel our reservation (ha ha). You made this special day even more memorable for us all, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again!

Ultimate 56ft Yacht Experience: Your Private Ocean Escape Awaits!

Adam and his crew were the BEST! They were beyond helpful in making sure the day aboard went smoothly. They were also very hospitable and brought even more energy to the party - thank you guys for everything! The boat was beautiful as well, very spacious with many places to lounge. Will definitely book with Adam again 🤙🏼

Had a fantastic time! 9 guys on the boat for a bachelor party. Very comfortably fit. Had a great cruise through the bay. Saw some other party boats out on the water. When we anchored, we were able to swim and meet up with other boats. Lily pad, paddle board, and water slide all added to the good times.

Adam and his crew were absolutely amazing. The Yacht is stunning and exactly as described and shown. He made my friends I feel like family on my birthday.

Our experience on the boat was nothing short of exquisite. The amenities were everything we needed and wanted. We used the floaties, waterslide, and lily pad in the water. The water was the perfect temperature and not too many waves, perfect for lounging in the water. Our captain Ben was welcoming, accommodating and so wonderful. He helped us with everything from setting up the lily pad in the water to curating the perfect party boat vibe in the evening. By the end of the night we were the only ones on the bay, which was the perfect way to party on a boat. We ended the night with music and a bonfire. If you’re thinking of renting a boat, look no further - this is the one for you!

Tahoe 22ft Deck Boat for Family Fun - Multi Day Discount + Extras

Jordon was accommodating, friendly and easy to deal with our first boat rental! We had a little fall and damaged the windshield within the first 10 minutes — but he was super friendly when we forgot about it hours later at drop off. The 22 ft boat we rented was the perfect size for us first timers, and our party of 11. Next time we come to Havasu, we’ll be looking for Jordon’s boats!

Frequently asked questions.

California boat rentals cost anywhere from less than $100/hour to over $1,000/hour. It will depend greatly on the size and style of the boat, the itinerary you’re hoping to enjoy (if it’s a boat charter), the number of passengers, duration, and when you’re renting. Boat rentals over holidays, like the 4th of July, are always more expensive, but you can split the cost if you have a larger group onboard. Electric boat rentals in harbors around California are some of the most budget-friendly boat rentals, while luxury yachts will be on the more expensive end.

The typical yacht rental will cost between $750-$1,500 for a full-day rental, and this would include the captain’s fee but not a gratuity for the captain and crew onboard. Yacht charters will vary a lot in price depending on your itinerary and what is included, like food and beverages, entertainment, and more. If you’re cruising far distances, you may have to pay extra surcharges for fuel.

No — it is not required to rent a boat. Still, it’s highly recommended that you have a Boater Safety Education certificate or other boating license and previous boating experience before operating a boat in the state of California. Some rental companies might have their own requirements for renting, so it’s best to check with the owner or company before you rent. Safety is the number one priority, and having education and prior experience will keep you and your passengers safe.

While there are tons of great snorkeling spots around Southern California, some of the best, bucket-list spots include Catalina Island , Laguna Beach , and Santa Cruz Island , to name a few. You can book snorkeling tours by boat or from shore when in Southern California.

The best lake fishing and freshwater fishing in California include the San Joaquin Delta, Lake Shasta , Castaic Lake, and Lake Tahoe to name a few. The best saltwater fishing spots include Long Beach , Santa Catalina Island, San Diego , Yerba Buena Island, Bodega Bay, and San Francisco. Book a fishing charter when you're in California for a great angling experience.

Prosecutors seek death penalty for 3 Americans implicated in alleged coup attempt in Congo

Prosecutors on Tuesday called for 50 people, including three Americans, to face the death penalty for what the Congolese army says was a coup attempt earlier this year.

Military prosecutor Lieutenant Colonel Innocent Radjabu urged the judges to sentence to death all those on trial, except for one defendant who suffers from "psychological problems."

The defendants, whose trial opened in June, face a number of charges, many punishable by death, including terrorism, murder and criminal association.

Six people were killed during the botched coup attempt led by the little-known opposition figure Christian Malanga in May that targeted the presidential palace and a close ally of President Felix Tshisekedi. Malanga was fatally shot for resisting arrest soon after live-streaming the attack on his social media, the Congolese army said.

Malanga's 21-year-old son Marcel Malanga, who is a U.S. citizen, and two other Americans are on trial for their alleged role in the attack. His mother, Brittney Sawyer, has said her son is innocent and simply followed his father, who considered himself president of a shadow government in exile.

Tyler Thompson Jr., 21, flew to Africa from Utah with the younger Malanga for what his family believed was a vacation, with all expenses paid by the elder Malanga. The young men had played high school football together in the Salt Lake City suburbs. Other teammates accused Marcel of offering up to US$100,000 to join him on a "security job" in Congo.

Thompson's family maintains he had no knowledge of the elder Malanga's intentions, no plans for political activism and didn't even plan to enter Congo. He and the Malangas were meant to travel only to South Africa and Eswatini, Thompson's stepmother said.

Benjamin Reuben Zalman-Polun, 36, is the third American on trial. He is reported to have known Christian Malanga through a gold mining company that was set up in Mozambique in 2022, according to an official journal published by Mozambique's government, and a report by the Africa Intelligence newsletter.

Earlier this year, Congo reinstated the death penalty, lifting a more than two-decade-old moratorium, as authorities struggle to curb violence and militant attacks in the country.

Banchereau reported from Dakar, Senegal.
