21' Duffy Electric boat in Marina del Rey, California

We had a great trip, Curt was a great captain and took us all around the marina. He has a lot of experience and fun tidbits to share, but is also very laid back and not intrusive if you just want to relax or are less talkative. We had a great time and would definitely do this again.

Booking with Chris was wonderful! Curt was our captain and we couldn’t have gotten luckier. Chris and Curt are amazing!! Curt went above and beyond to give our party an absolutely lovely afternoon. He was flexible when we needed a slightly later start time and his friendly, laid back style was perfect for our party. We had such a fun day on the water!

51' Classic Sailing Yacht in Marina del Rey

Our experience was 10/10, absolutely fantastic. The crew was so hospitable and accommodating. The boat was absolutely gorgeous, so clean, and well equipped for everything we needed during our family afternoon out on the water. Nicole responded to my messages almost immediately and made the booking process so smooth. They have my highest recommendation. I look forward to booking again!

Beautiful Classic Sailboat in Marina Del Rey

We had an amazing time with Christian and his sailboat! We celebrated my wife's birthday aboard his sailboat with 6 of our closest friends and I do not regret it. Christian was easy to communicate with and incredibly flexible. Because its a sailboat we had to be a bit flexible with our exact experience ensuring weather and waves were cooperative but in the end, we were able to both enjoy a sail on the open ocean and cruise around the harbor all while enjoying our dinner and drink we brought with us aboard. Christian went above and beyond our expectations and I'd have no hesitations recommending him, his vessel and/or booking with him again in the near future!

21' Duffy Electric Boat Rental in Marina del Rey, California

Our group had a great time! The boat was spacious and comfortable and accommodated our group of 7 perfectly. Our captain Brian was so friendly and enjoyable and even let us stay out on the water a little longer so we could catch the sunset. Would definitely recommend!

Twin Powered 32ft Bayliner Luxury Power Boat 🛥️

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience celebrating my daughter's sweet sixteen with Captain Samet! From start to finish, he was incredibly sweet, helpful, and easy to be around. I was initially skeptical about booking through GetMyBoat since it was my first time using the platform, but it far exceeded my expectations. Samet, thank you so much for an amazing 4 hours on the water. I'm pretty sure we were the loudest and craziest group you've ever had—sorry for all the repeated questions! I can't help but laugh every time I think back to our conversations. I’m so grateful you didn’t cancel our reservation (ha ha). You made this special day even more memorable for us all, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again!

Small Boat Rentals

Capri / j-24 / soling 26’.

Enjoy an easy afternoon sail aboard a stable J-24′, Soling 26′ or Capri 22’!  Please note: sailing experience is required in addition to passing our small boat sailing quiz in person on the day of your rental.

Known for its sweet sailing performance in nearly all conditions, the Catalina Capri 22′ has been winning over sailors since its introduction. The Capri 22 is more comfortable, safer at sea, and easier to maintain than other boats in its class. Its striking deck profile is flared across the stern and its wide cockpit curves are comfortable for crew both during and after sailing.

HOURLY:  $65/hour

DAILY: $260/day

CAPACITY: 6 people

Please note that reservations are only available for day sail rentals. All hourly rentals are done on a walk-in, first come, first served basis.

The J-24′ is one of the most popular one design racers in the world. Also a great daysailer, the J-24′ is maneuverable and responsive. With a spacious and workable deck and small cabin below, it is a top pick for sailing education. Additionally, it is equipped with an auxiliary electric motor for easy launching and docking. It is a very stable boat and able to handle challenging cruising conditions.

HOURLY: $80/hour

DAILY: $320/day

CAPACITY: 5 people

The Soling 26′ was designed as an Olympic class racer and is built for speed. Quick and responsive, the Soling handles well under most conditions and its simplified running rigging makes it even easier to sail. It lacks only the creature comforts of a cruising yacht and more than makes up for it with the thrill of a “go fast” afternoon sail. Features include a main traveler, hiking straps and a tiller extension.

HOURLY: $65/hour

CAPACITY: 4 people
