Description

The perfect choice for birthdays, bachelorette parties, or simply spending time on the water.

Step aboard our 48’ luxury yacht and enjoy a private, fully customizable experience designed around your group. Whether you're looking for a relaxed harbor cruise or a full-day trip to Catalina Island, everything is set up for a smooth, unforgettable day on the water.

Cruise along the coastline, drop anchor and swim, or spend the day exploring Catalina’s coves and Avalon. From laid-back afternoons to special celebrations, we tailor the experience to how you want the day to feel.

LOCAL EXPERIENCES
Stay close to shore and enjoy a flexible, easy day on the water.

Cruise through the harbor, take in the homes and coastline, or anchor in a calm spot to relax, swim, and unwind. Perfect for shorter trips, celebrations, or just getting out on the water with your group.

CATALINA ISLAND ADVENTURES
Escape the mainland and spend the day exploring Catalina Island.

Swim in crystal-clear coves, relax in the sun, or visit Avalon for restaurants, drinks, and exploring the town. This is a full-day experience that feels like a true getaway.

Brian and Megan were amazing hosts. They were so calm and reassuring for me and my group as we were mostly first timers! They showed us some cool jellyfish, and let us blast our music. Extremely easy going people. I wish I got to talk to them more, but I was a little limited on time due to my planning 😅.

Location & Destination Guide

It’s big, bold and very glitzy. Los Angeles is probably one of the world’s most glamorous and vibrant cities, making it both enthralling and exhausting. But with the ocean right there on the doorstep, to get on Marina Del Rey boat rental is a thrilling way to recharge those batteries and enjoy a whole other side to LA LA Land.

FAQs

What type of yacht should I charter?
No matter what type of yacht you choose to charter, we know that you will have a fantastic time on the water. If you are more about the journey, and want a relaxing time aboard, then choose from one of the many sailboats on the platform. If you are more about the destination, and going fast, check out the powerboats on Sailo. For an exclusive experience, Sailo recommends chartering a luxurious yacht for the day. Finally, Sailo has access to many event boats as well for group outings from 50 - 1,000 guests. If you are still unsure, then just ask! Read more
What should I bring?
Bring yourself, and some comfortable clothes suitable to the season you are going to be out on the water. Please keep in mind that it is often 10 degrees cooler out on the water, so a jacket or windbreaker is never a bad idea. We also recommend bringing a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses, as well as a swimsuit if appropriate for your charter location. Please coordinate with your captain regarding any food or drinks that you wish to bring aboard. For term-charters, Sailo recommends using soft-sided luggage, and keeping it simple. Read more
How long does a rental last?
The basic daily rental is structured as either a quarter-, half-, or full-day. A quarter-day is two hours, a half-day is four hours, and a full-day is eight hours. You can also discuss a custom trip with the boat by contacting the owner through Sailo. Most term charters (weekly rentals) are from Saturday to Saturday. Keep in mind that the boat generally needs to be back at the dock by Friday evening, and you will need to be off the boat on Saturday morning so they can prepare the boat for the next guests.
