Los Angeles Yacht Charters

The Ultimate Guide to Chartering a Yacht in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is one of the world's premier yacht charter destinations, offering year-round sunshine, calm Pacific waters, and access to some of California's most stunning coastline. Whether you're planning a sunset cruise along Malibu, a full-day adventure to Catalina Island, or a multi-day coastal voyage to Santa Barbara and the Channel Islands, chartering a yacht in LA delivers an experience that no land-based event can match.

Day Charters vs. Overnight Voyages

Most of our Los Angeles yacht charters are day charters — typically 4 to 10 hours, perfect for sunset cruises, birthday celebrations, corporate events, bachelor and bachelorette parties, or a day trip to Catalina. Day charters depart in the morning or afternoon and return the same evening. All day charters include a licensed captain, crew, safety equipment, fuel, and complimentary beverages.

For guests seeking a more immersive experience, we also arrange overnight and multi-day charters. These are ideal for Catalina Island overnights (anchor in Avalon Harbor or Two Harbors), coastal voyages from LA to Santa Barbara, or weekend getaways to the Channel Islands. Multi-day charters include onboard sleeping accommodations, full galley service, and the freedom to explore at your own pace — waking up on the water with no schedule to follow.

Our Marinas: Marina del Rey & Long Beach

Marina del Rey is the world's largest man-made small craft harbor, located on LA's Westside just minutes from Venice Beach, Santa Monica, and Beverly Hills. It's our primary departure point, home to the majority of our fleet. From Marina del Rey, you can reach Malibu in 30 minutes, Catalina Island in about 90 minutes, and the Palos Verdes coastline in under an hour. The marina is conveniently accessible from LAX (15 minutes), making it easy for out-of-town guests to arrive and board.

Long Beach Marina is our secondary departure point, ideally situated for guests coming from Orange County, Huntington Beach, or the South Bay. Long Beach offers a slightly shorter crossing to Catalina Island and direct access to the scenic waters around Palos Verdes Peninsula. It's also an excellent departure point for southbound charters toward Newport Beach and Dana Point.

What Makes Prestige Different

As an independent yacht charter broker, we don't own vessels — which means we have no incentive to push a particular boat. We match you with the right yacht from our curated fleet based on your group size, occasion, route, and budget. Every vessel in our network is operated by USCG-licensed captains with full marine liability insurance. We handle all coordination — from catering and entertainment to water toys and decorations — so you can focus entirely on enjoying the experience.
