San Diego Yacht Rental: 40-Foot Catamaran with Captain

Steer your own celebration on San Diego Bay

Rent a fully crewed 40-foot catamaran for up to 35 guests in San Diego Bay, with a captain, crew members and a bartender on board. You bring the group and the occasion (birthdays, corporate events, bachelorette parties or any gathering), and the boat handles the rest. Two decks, a stocked bar, modern bathrooms and views of downtown San Diego and the Coronado Bridge come standard.

The experience

The Coral Island is a custom 40-foot catamaran built to hold groups up to 35 people across two full decks. A master captain steers, one or two crew members manage the boat, and a bartender works the liquor-licensed bar, so your group can focus on the reason you're there. The forward sundeck has plenty of seating and standing room. Below deck, two modern bathrooms keep things comfortable for larger parties. You can bring your own food or work with preferred vendors the operator recommends.

The boat cruises San Diego Bay with views of downtown and the Coronado Bridge as the backdrop. There's room to socialize, dance and order custom cocktails from the bar (drinks are sold separately). Two hours on the water gives you time to settle in, move between decks and actually enjoy the people you came with, not just rush through a set itinerary. The state-of-the-art entertainment and safety equipment are built in, so the crew handles logistics while you handle the party.
