Captained Day Charter Los Angeles
In some cases the captain is aided by an onboard chef. Typically they operate solo.
The fee for the captain is in addition to the cost of chartering the boat, and is by law paid separately to the captain. These are estimated rates and may vary per Captain. $65/hour and $500 for a full day is a good estimate.
For a crewed sailing or powerboat charter in Los Angeles, NO SAILING EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED. You will board one of our sporty and spacious charter vessels at Marina Del Rey and simply enjoy the ride as you explore Santa Monica Bay, the ocean outside the bay, or even head off to Catalina or other points of interest.
Relax and let a professional do the work!

Best Weather in the Country…. But
While Southern California enjoys some of the fairest and most consistently good weather in the USA, we will on rare occasions have to postpone a charter due to inclement weather (typically a Small Craft Advisory). This decision is made at the discretion of the captain and management of BPY. If a decision to postpone a charter is made, it is done so with the safety and comfort of of our clients in mind. If foul weather is forecast we urge you to contact us for an update.
Suggested Clothing
Deck shoes with white soles and a warm jacket are essential year round. Casual comfortable sports clothing is recommended – layers are the way to go. Please pack all personal gear in a soft case or duffle bag, and remember that boats have very limited storage space.
NO HARD SUITCASES are permitted on the boats.
