Visit the Fisherman’s Village One of Marina del Rey’s biggest tourist attractions is the Fisherman’s Village, located right at the marina’s entrance and built in a style similar to a fishing village in New England. It consists of five vividly painted wooden buildings, commercial boat docks, a water fountain, a lighthouse, and a waterfront promenade from which you have a panoramic view of the full harbor. Since most Los Angeles yacht charters depart from Marina del Rey, all those who choose to explore the Southern California coast will definitely get acquainted with this California yacht marina.

Venice Beach When you opt for a private boat charter in Los Angeles, you will most definitely board your yacht at Marina del Rey, one of the most famous marinas in Southern California. Once aboard your yacht, as you cruise out of Marina del Rey, you will encounter the famous Venice Beach Boardwalk that runs along Venice Beach and connects Marina del Rey to Santa Monica Pier. As you lounge on your yacht, you will be able to observe the famous LA scene: musicians, singers, jugglers, acrobats, mimes, comics, magicians, prophets and fortune-tellers are some of the more conventional entertainers on offer along the 3 mile long sidewalk.

Catalina Island One of the perks of chartering a private yacht in Los Angeles is the ability to explore one of Southern California’s natural beauties: the Channel Islands. An eight island archipelago along the Santa Barbara Channel in the Pacific Ocean, just off the Southern Californian coast, and the perfect spot for a charter vacation. Sail to one of the Channel Islands, Catalina Island, an island known for its wildlife, dive sites and Mt. Orizaba. The cruise from Los Angeles to Catalina Island should take around two hours. Drop anchor at the resort town of Two Harbors for a fun day snorkeling in clear waters to observe Catalina’s thriving marine life, take the jet ski out for a spin or step ashore at the palm tree and cabana lined Descanso Beach in the beautiful Avalon Bay.
