30' Double Decker Pontoon Party Boat in Mission Bay
Highly recommend! The boat had everything we needed and more: Bluetooth speaker system, porta-potty style bathroom, coolers filled with ice, 2 sunny seating areas on upper and lower decks, and a small shaded seating area; but all the water toys were the best part. We loved Captain Joe, who was very attentive to make sure we had a great time and kept everything running smoothly.
🧜♀️59' Paradise Party Yacht 🥳3 Decks🎵Music💃San Diego
What an amazing experience from the start. Kristin was SO thorough, responsive and made sure to be available for any question I had with a quick response. I was planning a surprise birthday party for my partner with all of his friends and we all were so impressed by the boat, amenities, options for our DJ, views from literally anywhere (even the bathroom!), hospitality and we loved the lily pad to hang out on while we swam. Such an affordable option for our group size compared to most other companies while not compromising. James was also amazing and we appreciated that safety was the number one priority and was accommodating for all of us. It truly was the perfect sunset cruise!
45’ Luxury Multi-Level Mission Bay Cruiser
Overall experience was amazing starting from the booking process Jeff made it easy and even though there was an issue with a double booking (not his fault) he offered a solution and everything worked out. I would definitely book with Jeff again the boat experience itself was smooth and the captain was very accommodating and helpful with any questions or concerns our group had.
Largest Luxury Double Deck Pontoon Boat In Mission Bay w/ Waterslide Day & Night
I had an absolutely fantastic experience with the boat rental! Captain Ralph was exceptional—his expertise and friendly demeanor made the entire trip smooth and enjoyable. The boat itself was perfect for our bachelorette party, with plenty of room for all 12 of us to spread out and have a great time. One of the highlights was the unexpected surprise of fireworks we got to see, which made the evening truly unforgettable. Additionally, Jeff’s communication was top-notch; he was incredibly responsive and ensured every detail was handled perfectly. From start to finish, the service was outstanding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this rental for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable time on the water!
This was a spur of the moment last minute booking and Zach was super easy and friendly to work with! My group had the BEST time! They loaded all our stuff up for us to get to the boat, inflated our floaties, and provided genuine hospitality the whole time. (Even took drone shots of us and sent them after). We felt comfortable from the beginning to the end, and got to catch some amazing sunset views. Couldn’t recommend enough!
This was such an amazing experience! Highlight of our trip, for sure! The catamaran comfortably fit 10 of us and it was so relaxing! The captain was great and communicative! I would 100% book this again! The seating in the front was comfortable, with great views. The boat itself had cushioned seats too that were great. The table was nice for a little picnic and storage space for our stuff. There was definitely enough storage underneath as well as on the beds and in the kitchen. So grateful for this experience!

If you’re looking for a unique and luxurious way to see San Diego, consider renting a yacht. Yacht rental companies offer a variety of boats to suit your needs, whether you’re looking for a small vessel for a day trip or a large yacht for an extended vacation. San Diego Bay is one of the best places in California to enjoy the epic scenery. San Diego offers not only the Big Bay, but also Mission Bay. You can find yacht rental companies that cater to both areas. Most yacht rental companies offer a variety of boats, from small vessels to large yachts. You can choose the size and type of yacht that best suits your needs. Some yacht rental companies also offer bareboat charter services, which means you can rent a yacht without a captain or with a captain and crew. If you’re interested in renting a yacht in San Diego, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, yacht rental rates vary depending on the season. During the summer, rates will be higher due to demand. Second, most yacht rental companies require a deposit, which is usually refundable if you cancel your charter. Some of the yachts to choose from are: Catamarans, Motor Yachts, and Sailboats. Catamarans are ideal for groups or families who want to enjoy the sun and the water. They offer plenty of space for lounging and are stable, making them a great choice for first-time yacht renters. Motor yachts are perfect for those who want to cruise in style. They’re luxurious and come with all the amenities you could want, from a full kitchen to a Jacuzzi. Sailboats are a more traditional choice and are perfect for those who love the challenge of sailing. They’re faster than motor yachts and catamarans, and some come with racing features. Careful though, you may end up spilling your drink!
