Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

We want your experience to be effortless from the very first question.

Can We Bring Food and Drinks?

Absolutely. You're welcome to bring your own food and beverages onboard. If you want to bring hard liquor, just add the bartender upgrade at checkout, since a licensed bartender is required to serve it.

How Many Guests Can We Bring?

Our charters are advertised for up to 12 guests, and that's 12 plus the person booking, so your group can be as large as 13. Every experience is fully private, meaning the entire yacht is reserved exclusively for your group.

How Long Is a Concert Cruise?

Your concert cruise is one flat rate for the night and built around the show, so there's no hourly math to worry about. We'll have you on the water in time for the performance and the lit-up skyline.

Will We Actually Hear the Concert?

Yes. We position the yacht in the sweet spot off the Rady Shell where the sound carries clearly across the water, so you get the full show with the skyline as your backdrop and none of the crowds.

Where Do We Board?

Once your booking is confirmed, we'll send you detailed boarding instructions including the exact marina location, parking information, and everything else you need to arrive stress-free.

What Should We Bring?

We handle cups, plates, utensils, napkins, coolers, and filtered water. Bring your food, drinks, sunscreen, sunglasses, and towels, plus whatever else makes your group comfortable. We take care of the rest.

How Do I Reserve My Date?

To reserve your date, the charter is paid in full at the time of booking. If you'd rather split up the cost, financing options are available at checkout.

What Happens If the Weather Is Bad?

San Diego has incredible weather year-round. In the rare event of unsafe conditions, we'll work with you to reschedule at no additional cost. Your experience and safety always come first.
