Bringing professional filming equipment on-board must be approved with our administrative team. Triton Charters must be added as “additionally insured” on your insurance policy.

Ticketed Charters – Tickets are 100% refundable if canceled at least 24 hours prior to the charter’s departure time. Triton Charters may cancel ticketed charters anytime for any reason in which case, our customers will receive a full refund.

WEATHER POLICY Triton Charters does not operate in unsafe weather conditions, but a light rain shower is not a deterrent. The captain will assess the weather and should the captain determine that the conditions are unsafe to run the charter, the charter may be rescheduled or it will be canceled.

If a trip is canceled by Triton Charters for any reason, you will have the option of receiving a voucher for a future trip or receiving a full refund.

Please note that failure to show for the reserved trip without cancellation will result in no refund

**Triton Charters reserves the right to change/alter our cancellation and refund policy as needed based on availability, or any circumstances deemed necessary.

Notable Landmarks and Sites We’ll See

As you soak in the sun, we’ll sail past some of San Diego’s most spectacular coastal sites introducing (or reacquainting) you with the:

USS Midway Aircraft Carrier– The USS Midway was commissioned one week after the end of World War II, was the largest ship in the world until 1955, and was the longest-serving aircraft carrier in the 20th century. The Midway was so large it could carry 120 planes on its armored flight deck and was the first aircraft carrier unable to cruise the Panama Canal due to its sheer size. While you are visiting San Diego, be sure to check out the USS Midway Museum to learn more about this iconic ship. Star of India – Star of India is the world’s oldest active sailing ship. She is an iron ship with a long and storied past that includes collisions, mutiny and cyclones. She worked as a cargo ship and then spent half a century bringing emigrants to New Zealand. You can tour the Star of India at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. North Island Military Base – Dubbed the official birthplace of aviation, the North Island Military Base is an active military base home to two aircraft carriers and 23 fixed and rotary wing squadrons. Cabrillo National Museum – The Cabrillo National Monument and museum mark the location where the first European set foot on the western US. There is a lot to take in at Cabrillo park including the Old Point Loma Lighthouse and the rocky intertidal zone. Hotel del Coronado – The Hotel Del is a historic beachfront luxury hotel situated in the city of Coronado, just over the bridge from downtown San Diego. It opened in 1888 as the largest resort hotel in the world and today is the second-largest wooden structure in the US. If you are visiting San Diego, it is definitely worth spending a couple of hours at The Del — grab lunch or stroll the pristine beach.

Who is This Harbor Cruise Right For?

Families – Bring the kids, bring the grandparents! Triton Catamaran offers an unforgettable experience for the whole family. San Diego Visitors – There is no better way to acquaint yourself with San Diego than from the sea. This is one experience you definitely don’t want to miss while you’re in town.

Robert and Katerina

 I had an amazing experience booking a proposal cruise with Sail Away San Diego. Robert was very helpful in helping me set up the whole thing. I was able to enjoy an awesome cruise in the bay with my fiancee, especially with the nice breeze and setting sun. Robert did well to give us our privacy, but also provided us with a good conversation when we wanted. Then came the proposal with the pictures, which went smoothly and looked great. Dinner was also well-prepared and everything was perfect! I never felt rushed or intruded upon. I highly recommend working with Robert for all your cruising needs in San Diego!

Testimonial Source: 

 Ramona and I can NOT begin to describe the truly fairytale experience we had with Robert and Katrina and Sail Away San Diego! From the moment we were picked up and ferried to their sailing yacht, to sipping champagne on the bear skin rug, to dropping on my knee to ask my Sweetheart if she would marry me...it was TRULY a magical evening that neither one of us will ever forget. Thank you to both Robert and Katrina for capturing this moment for us to treasure for a lifetime. By the way...She said "YES!"...Yeah!!! We look forward to sailing with you both again someday... With heartfelt appreciation, Tim & Ramona

Tim Probasco

Great experience. That's is the best way do make a proposal - very romantic and beautiful. Champagne, romantic music, sunset, beautiful yacht - no chance she will say "No". It is affordable as well. After 3 hours of sailing we were very surprised to get a free ride to our hotel - that's how good Robert treat his clients. Be sure he is the best!

Pavel Khitrikov

Sailaway San Diego provided us the best food and the best experience we could possibly have for an anniversary. The champagne was awesome, the salmon was perfectly cooked, and not to mention, the weather was perfect for such an occasion. I strongly recommend the photo service because the pictures he took for us were definitely better than the ones I signed up for. I strongly recommend Sail Away San Diego for a place to go for a romantic occasion. Thanks alot Robert!

 Testimonial Source: 

Our experience on Sail Away was Fantastic! We both truly enjoyed the experience and felt like we really had our own special moment to start this new journey in our lifetime. Captain Robert was very helpful and funny. He knew exactly where to take the photos and how to customize the proposal. We highly recommend Sail Away SD to the people out there thinking of something on their own with great sunsets and views around our beautiful city here in SD!

5-Star Reviews From Our Guests!

A Great Day on Ohana!

This past weekend we hosted the main event for our reunion on the Ohana in San Diego. Anyone who knows San Diego knows that there are a ton of boat charter companies. I haven' tired them all but I have used a few over the years - none compared to the Ohana. The boat is clean and in very good repair but it is the staff that sets it apart. The level of attention to customer satisfaction from the time of our first phone call right on through the end of the event was astounding. Next time, I won't need to shop. I'll be back with Ohana and crew.

An Incredible Experience!

I can’t say enough good things about our experiences with Cruise San Diego. Thank you to the entire team at Cruise San Diego for consistently delivering exceptional service and helping us create lasting memories. Whether it’s a milestone birthday or a wedding rehearsal dinner, I highly recommend Cruise San Diego for an unforgettable experience!

An Amazing Time!

I cannot think of anything I would have changed. You have a wonderful staff that made our experience a fun/memorable one! Many of my friends have raved about your bar tender as well! (this was Cole). I will definitely fill out a google review and recommend you all to anyone who is looking to charter a boat!! Thank you again for everything and helping me pull this off and make this day so special!

Everyone had nothing but amazing things to say about the party, food, and staff! The highlights were the views, friendly staff, the bar, and honestly everything!

Highly Recommend!

During our wedding weekend, we decided to host a welcome dinner with Cruise SD, the day before our wedding. It was a dream. Derwayne, Captain Mike, and the rest of the crew were so kind. If you are looking for a cruise that is family-owned, kind, down to earth, and flexible, look no further.

Weekend Highlight!

We booked the entire Ohana for a 2 hr. sunset cruise for our wedding guests this past weekend. The booking process was excellent. Derwayne was super responsive. We had a lot of questions and he patiently answered them all. The crew was FANTASTIC. They were friendly and fun from the start.

Absolutely Amazing!

The trip was brilliant. Skipper was friendly and very knowledgeable. Learned about marine life and saw incredible dolphin and whale habitats.

Yacht Wedding Venues: What You Need to Know

• May 14, 2024

Weddings are special events that deserve an equally special venue. At Seaforth Yacht Charters, we understand the allure of celebrating your big day on the open water.

Choosing a yacht as your wedding venue can add an element of elegance and exclusivity. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to make your yacht wedding unforgettable.

Choosing Your Yacht Wedding Venue

When it comes to a yacht wedding, the devil is in the details. The selection of the yacht is pivotal, as it sets the stage for your entire celebration. To ensure a flawless fit, consider capacity, layout, and how well the vessel complements your desired theme.

Capacity Matters : The number of guests you’re planning to invite directly influences the size of the yacht you’ll need. A cozy, intimate gathering might find a charming setting on a smaller vessel, whereas a grand affair calls for a yacht with ample space. Always overestimate slightly; it’s better to have a bit of extra room than to feel crowded on your special day.

Layout Is Key : A yacht’s layout affects the flow of your event. You want a seamless transition from ceremony to reception, with easy access for guests of all ages and mobility levels. Look for yachts with a smart design that accommodates both the grandeur of the occasion and the comfort of your guests. Areas for dining, dancing, and lounging are essential. A separate area for the wedding party to prepare can be a major plus.

Theme and Decor : Your yacht should not only be practical but also a blank canvas for your wedding theme. Whether you dream of a nautical motif or a more classic elegance, the yacht’s interiors should lend themselves to transformation. Natural light, elegant lines, and tasteful furnishings can all enhance your decor choices. Additionally, consider the flexibility for decoration setups and any restrictions the yacht may have.

Aboard the right yacht, your wedding can transcend the ordinary, offering unparalleled views, exclusive privacy, and a touch of luxury that land-based venues simply can’t replicate. Keep these considerations in mind, and you’re well on your way to securing a venue that elevates your special day into a truly unforgettable experience.

Remember, the selection process is just the beginning. A yacht wedding offers a unique venue that promises to make your special day not only beautiful but also uniquely yours.

Planning Your Yacht Wedding

Successfully executing a yacht wedding requires meticulous planning and an understanding of various logistics. Beyond choosing the perfect yacht venue, couples must navigate legal requirements, catering options, and entertainment coordination to ensure a seamless and memorable day. Here are actionable insights to guide you through these critical stages of your wedding planning.

Legalities First

Getting married on a yacht involves more than just saying your vows with the sea as your backdrop. You must understand the legal implications, which can vary depending on the yacht’s registration and location. For marriages to be recognized legally, they often need to be conducted within a jurisdiction that recognizes the officiant’s authority. Some yachts are registered in ways that allow ceremonies to be legally binding at sea, while others may require a legal ceremony beforehand. Always consult with the yacht charter company and a legal advisor to ensure all legalities are addressed. This step cannot be emphasized enough; overlooking it can turn your perfect day into a logistical nightmare.

Catering and Amenities

Selecting the right catering service and onboard amenities is another vital aspect of planning your yacht wedding. Space and kitchen facilities on yachts can be limited, making it essential to work with caterers experienced in handling such unique conditions. Opting for a menu that reflects your personal taste while accommodating the logistics of yacht catering will enhance the guest experience. Additionally, consider the amenities the yacht offers — from dining setups and bar services to restrooms and lounging areas. These elements are critical in ensuring comfort and convenience for you and your guests throughout the event.

Entertainment That Flows

When it comes to onboard entertainment, space and sound logistics take center stage. Whether you’re envisioning a live band, a DJ, or other forms of entertainment, it’s essential to coordinate with the yacht’s layout and technical capabilities. Sound systems need to be suitable for the open water without disrupting the serene sea atmosphere. Furthermore, the entertainment schedule should align with the event’s flow, from the ceremony to the reception, creating a harmonious experience for everyone on board.

Practical Tips

Visit the yacht before booking to assess its suitability for your wedding.

Work closely with the yacht charter’s event planner to align your vision with the yacht’s capabilities

Create a detailed plan for the day, including a timeline that accounts for boarding, ceremony, reception, and disembarkation.

Ensure your vendors, especially the caterer and entertainment, have experience with yacht events.

In conclusion, planning a yacht wedding extends beyond aesthetics and themes. It demands attention to legalities, amenities, catering, and entertainment logistics to ensure a magical and stress-free celebration. With careful planning and the right team, your yacht wedding will set sail smoothly into matrimonial bliss.

Elevating Your Yacht Wedding

To elevate your yacht wedding from memorable to unforgettable, every detail counts. The key lies in personalization , strategic timing , and meticulous attention to guest comfort and accessibility . These elements, when handled thoughtfully, can transform a beautiful event into an extraordinary experience that resonates with every attendee.

Infuse Personal Touches

The essence of an unforgettable yacht wedding is personalization. It’s not just about the visual aesthetics but the emotional connections that each detail evokes. When guests can see, feel, and experience the couple’s story woven throughout the event, the impact is profound.

Incorporate your shared interests or love story into the decorations, menu, or entertainment.

Custom playlists can set the desired mood and reflect your journey together.

Personalized tokens of appreciation for guests can create lasting memories.

Tip : For inspiration on customizing your yacht wedding, exploring yacht decoration tips can provide innovative ideas.

Optimal Timing and Season

Choosing the right time and season for your yacht wedding is paramount. Weather conditions significantly affect the experience, not just in terms of comfort but also the backdrop it provides for your special day.

Late spring through early fall often offers ideal weather, balancing warmth with comfortable sea breezes.

Consider the sunset time to plan your ceremony for picturesque lighting conditions.

Be mindful of regional weather patterns; avoiding hurricane or heavy rainy seasons is wise.

Prioritizing Guest Comfort and Accessibility

Ensuring all guests have a pleasurable experience from start to finish is fundamental. From boarding the yacht to the moment they disembark, their comfort and accessibility needs should be anticipated and addressed.

Confirm the yacht is equipped with amenities to accommodate guests with mobility challenges.

Plan seating arrangements thoughtfully to ensure every guest has a great view without feeling cramped.

Be prepared for varying weather conditions; providing blankets for cooler evenings or parasols for daytime ceremonies shows thoughtfulness.

Guest comfort and accessibility tips :

Clearly communicate transportation and boarding procedures in advance.

Arrange for additional signage or staff to assist guests in navigating the yacht.

Consider the yacht’s capacity for both seating and moving around comfortably when finalizing your guest list.

In conclusion, an unforgettable yacht wedding hinges on the personalization of your event, the careful selection of timing and season to capitalize on beautiful weather, and a deep commitment to guest comfort and accessibility. Balancing these factors with the natural elegance and exclusivity a yacht venue offers will ensure your wedding not only celebrates your love but does so in a way that’s uniquely yours and remembered by all.

Wrapping Up

Planning the perfect yacht wedding is an adventure that blends the elegance and uniqueness of maritime celebrations with personal touches that make the day truly unforgettable. From selecting the right yacht, understanding the legalities, to ensuring guest comfort and accessibility, every aspect requires thoughtful consideration. The key points to remember include choosing a venue that accommodates your guest list comfortably, coordinating catering and entertainment that align with the yacht’s facilities, and personalizing your celebration to reflect your journey together.

The unique charm of yacht weddings lies in their ability to offer something beyond the conventional. The serene backdrop of the sea, the exclusive privacy of having your own vessel, and the gentle sway of the waves combine to create a mesmerizing experience that is hard to replicate on land. At Seaforth Yacht Charters , we pride ourselves on offering meticulously maintained power and sailing yachts that set the stage for this extraordinary chapter in your love story.

Wedding Yacht Charters

For a romantic, beautiful and reasonably priced special wedding charter – Give us a call. Nothing beats the romance of a yacht on the ocean and we have several yachts to select from.  Generally we slowly cruise in a quiet place, such as Glorietta Bay, perform the service and then do a San Diego Bay tour. It may be structured anyway you wish, however. The actual wedding site is also your decision. We do   recommend at least 3 hours . 

Yacht Weddings can also be combined with land-based weddings taking play along San Diego Bay, either picking up or dropping off the wedding party . It is a perfect way to make a grand entrance or to leave.

We would be happy to work with you or your wedding planner to provide a very unique venue for your special day . Perhaps you are going to elope to San Diego and wish a simple wedding. A wedding or vow renewal on the water is very special, providing that something extra that will add to your memories of the event forever.

We can coordinate with extras such as clergy, catering, photographer, ice carvings, ring buoys, etc.

Everyone has attended a church wedding or a wedding at some special land-based location, very few have attended a yacht charter event . During the day the scenery is very special and at night the lights of the city and their reflections in the water cast a special spell . It is a venue truly like no other. We could even do a Hindu Wedding Charter .

• Bachelorette/Bachelor Parties

Planning a Boat Wedding

Nautical nuptials.

If you're a sailor at heart and dream of having your first married kiss on the open ocean, then San Diego's bays, harbors and open ocean await you.

Take your choice from a wide range of yachts and ferries, even the world's oldest active sailing ship (although you can't take this one out for a sail).

Some things to keep in mind when planning a boat wedding include:

• There's less work involved since the ship's crew can take care of everything from flowers and decorations to food and entertainment
• Available package deals can lower the cost over a land-based wedding with the ceremony and reception in separate locations
• Since the boat and ever-changing views are so stunning, you can save money on decorations
• Even in calm waters people can still feel queasy, so have soothing ginger ale and ginger candy on hand

Some of San Diego's most popular choices for boat weddings include:

Maritime museum of san diego.

Set along beautiful San Diego Bay, the Maritime Museum of San Diego offers two of San Diego's most famous ships for a nautical-themed nuptial. Constructed in 1898, the ferryboat Berkeley offers Victorian-style, stained glass windows and two open-air decks with dramatic views of the downtown San Diego skyline and surrounding harbor. It is also extremely spacious with room for up to 350 guests. Nearby, the stately Star of India , the oldest active sailing ship in the world, offers an incredible setting, with ceremonies held on the Captain's Deck.

City Cruises

Hornblower Cruises offers a selection of over 25 elegant yachts for a perfect wedding day. Couples and their family and friends can cruise the waters of San Diego Bay while sipping champagne and enjoying one of the most relaxing and romantic settings in San Diego. Hornblower's wedding coordinator can also help plan and finalize all of the details for the "big day," from food and drink to music and flowers.

Flagship Cruises & Events

Flagship Cruises & Events has been helping couples realize their dream San Diego wedding for over 80 years. We have the finest fleet of boats in the San Diego bay and packages to fit any couple's wedding dream and budget. Wedding and Reception cruises are the ideal way to celebrate your perfect day and our wedding event staff will help you custom-tailor a memorable wedding day, whether it is a quiet little daytime getaway or an extravaganza under the stars.

Triton Catamaran Charters

San Diego's newest yacht charter service also offers the largest catamaran in the region  – a 75-foot luxury yacht that can accommodate up to 105 passengers. From a 13-seat bar to an expansive dance floor to a powerful sound system, Triton has everything you need for a memorable and elegant wedding on the water.

Sternwheelers of Evans Hotels

Embrace an authentic 19th century nautical experience on the historic Sternwheelers - the William D. Evans and the Bahia Belle , as they cruise the calm waters of Mission Bay. Both ships offer multiple decks for dining and dancing, world-class service and exceptional cuisine.
