Captain and team was GREAT! Was there with 8 other ladies for a 3 hour charter. We brought on board food and drinks. Captain and team was so ever helpful on getting us on board and back on time to catch our flights. Captain stopped at city skyline for us to do pictures and where a few of us jumped into the water. Highly recommended. read more

I got invited to my friend's birthday party on Malarky. The boat is absolutely gorgeous, spacious and well maintained. We had a great time. Jumping in ocean was definitely fun! Great option for hosting any parties! read more

We set sail for a friends 40th birthday and Captain Kurt and Jen were amazing, friendly and inviting. We had such a good time taking in San Diego waters, relaxing, eating, drinking and celebrating. The boat has everything and is super clean. We had brunch plans after so we didn't jump in or take advantage of any of the water rentals but we definitely will be back to do all that. Highly recommend getting out there and sailing with Malarky Charters. Change up the scene from your normal birthday celebrations. read more

Amazing experience! We left the dock around 5:30 and had a 2 hour boat ride. Perfect time to catch our beautiful SD sunset. The captain and assistant were so cool and nice! We were able to bring our own food + drinks and celebrate our best friend's bday with her fave snacks, wine + bday cake! The boat was super nice + clean. Loved every moment of our experience, especially the dolphin friends that were with us. read more

Absolutely LOVED this charter experience! I booked this for my 30th birthday and the captain and crew really exceeded my expectations. I brought on deck some party decorations, drinks, and a cake in which they offered to help with all of it. Even though they offered to help, I set up everything myself and started to enjoy the night. At the end of the night they offered to light the cake (they provided candles) and served it to us. On our night sail they also allowed time for us to stop to have a quick swim. They offered to take pictures and videos of us,which we really appreciated. I chose to cruise at 8pm, which was perfect because we got a bit of sunset and then the city lights. The views did not disappoint whatsoever!! I will definitely book again, and maybe try a day charter! Thank you guys for making my 30th so epic read more

I cannot recommend Malarky Charters more! We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay for a wedding and so the charter as a pre-wedding cruise around the bay and ocean. The captain took us on a course based on what we wanted (ocean riding and sightseeing) and calmer waters for dinner. The staff was so nice, gracious and helped us feel relaxed. We ordered food through the Hyatt and they helped set it up for us and got our drinks ready so we could have the ultimate trip! If you are staying at the hotel or not, I would 100% recommend doing a cruise with them! read more

Malarky Charters - Boat Charters Near Me - San Diego, California

Malarky Charters has provided my friends and I with countless enjoyable cruise adventures. Last year for my 29th birthday my friends and I chartered the Malarky catamaran while we pumped music, danced and socialized. The crew is always so accommodating and we always have a great time. read more

Had a most excellent time on a Malarkey charter boat for a birthday party we had. The boat is very nice and really comfortably fits the max of 12 people...plenty of places to sit and hang out, both inside and outside, at the back and at the front of the boat. There's also a fridge and plenty of table space to store the food and beverage we brought on board. Also, having a bathroom on board was really key...nobody wanted to stress about being out on the water and not having access to one...especially when folks are drinking . The booking process was really easy to do online, and I was able to email them ahead of time when I had questions and they answered them all. Our party had a great time, and the captain accommodated where we wanted to go or not go out on the water. The staff also helped along the way with things like taking pictures, helping with beverages, and even pointing out dolphins! Everyone has a great time and we'll surely do it again. Highly recommended. read more

Well worth the money. The boat is insanely cool, although we basically all sat upfront or in the rear section. Booked the Malarky for a 3-hour tour that involved a cruise in the ocean and then back to the bay for swimming and playing with their water toys. There's a TV below deck if you feel like being anti-social and watching TV, along with beds and an indoor area to get out of the sun. They have two large coolers, so you really don't need to bring one unless... well, unless you want to. Brian and Trevor were our captains. The environment was a safe one and the experience was quintessential San Diego Sunday. read more

AMAZING experience and even better customer service! I went on one of the Catamarans last summer to celebrate the birthday of my friends. We met at the dock, loaded the boat, and departed right on time. I don't know much about boats, but I can say that this boat was extremely clean and spacious. We hung out on the front, put our stuff inside, and used the table inside for food and drinks. There are 2 (or more?) bathrooms. We played music throughout the boat as we circled around the bay to downtown and back. The service on the boat was amazing. I just reached out to them for a question and they responded to me with help immediately. I cannot speak highly enough about this place! Highly recommend!! read more

Always have the best time on the Malarky Catamaran! The crew is always so helpful and accommodating! We always bring a few bottles of wine and eThis trip I accidentally booked the boat for the wrong date, when we got there nobody was there because we messed up dates, thought it was going to be a bust, but after calling the company they had 2 captains out there in 15 minutes to get us on, even though it was our mess up. Best of the best! Bonus points because we also saw a whale which was pretty cool! read more

They didn't honor our emailed confirmed reservation (55%off) because"their new booking system wasn't synced yet". Weirdly they did honor the other parties full price reservation! Yes I'm being sarcastic. Their solution was to give us a free pontoon boat for the afternoon and offer a sunset cruise comped. Then they subsequently rescinded the comped offer after they spoke to the general manager! Geez. The pontoon boat had no shade, no bathroom and no ladder to get back into the boat. Not exactly a high end charter experience. Very poor customer service full of Malarky!!!! Our family fun afternoon was not the experience we were looking forward too. Yes we got to spend some fun family time. But making the best of a bad situation with a poorly maintained pontoon boat was disappointing when we planned a luxury catamaran cruise. read more

What a great experience! The staff, Trevor and Maddie we're so great and took such great care of our rambunctious group of girls. The catamaran was beautifully decorated and spotless! You can hook up your phone to the speakers and play your jams, bring your own food and drinks with no extra charge. Even the waiting area on the dock was cute. We did a sunset cruise but next year I'd like to try going earlier in the day to take advantage of the water activities they can provide. This is definitely going to be a new summer tradition for us! read more

Carly at the front desk was amazing! She answered all my questions. She called me back promptly and also replied to emails quickly.

Had the best time on the boat this past weekend - amazing ocean views sailing around the coast in open water, SUPER accommodating staff, and even better weather. Thanks a ton Malarky, I WILL BE BACK! read more

We had a fantastic time sailing around San Diego on the Malarky. The crew is awesome! They were accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable, and just plain fun. We sailed around, then anchored to enjoy paddle boarding swimming, cocktails, and more. The Catamaran is huge too had plenty of space to comfortably party and have family fun for all 12 of us aged 1 to 44! We will definitely be doing this again. read more

Everything was high quality and the Malarky crew of Maddie and Trevor gave us a great, safe experience. Our group of 6 couples booked a late summer cruise - the crew was great, happy to take us wherever we wanted, offered us control of the music and we were allowed to bring our own food/drink. The catamaran was spotless, the salon is beautifully arranged and there are pillows, blankets and deck seats for your comfort. Best experience on a charter- will definitely be back. read more

We rented the boat for our friends birthday. It turned out to be the coolest catamaran ever. Staff was overly friendly and we all had the best time. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience San Diego by the water. Amazing read more

If I could leave more then 5 starts I would. This catamaran is perfect for parties. I celebrated my birthday on this boat and had one of the best birthdays yet! We had Monday night football streaming on there while we got to cruise out to the ocean and paddle board in the bay. All the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Will be back very soon! read more

We went on a team outing for work on the Malarky boat, and had an amazing adventure! Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived, and there was plenty of room for all our gear. But what really made our adventure great was that we had an awesome crew charting us around. They were happy to go wherever we wanted around the bay, and didn't mind changing directions when our group was undecided. Thanks Malarky, we are looking forward to another adventure! read more

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! The trip starts slow and relaxing and then jazzes up in the middle with a ton of extras to choose from. There was some jet skis, a fly board and a case of champagne for those of us who want to drink and not get an adrenaline rush. Lol. The captain let us lead the way and the deck hand catered to us in every way. Today was a great day and the price was unbeatable here in San Diego. Hats off to the team running this boat charter. read more

Malarky Charters is awesome! Went on the boat for a birthday party and it was way bigger than I expected. It was wide, spacious, and had a nice deck to lay out on. They can also provide paddleboards, jet skis, etc. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique space to celebrate or just hang out. The boys even watched Monday night football on one of their many TVs. They've got a few beds and also a shower if you wanna rinse off the salty ocean water too. Loved everything about it! read more

They gave me the wrong location for the boat afther I called twice to confirm and they still gave me a diffrent address then from the email so I was late and it ruined the start of what was suppose to be a great bday . Then they have a hidden fee they don't tell u about 49 dollars so watch out for that when ur credit card has a random charge the following days . Just shady be honest up front when u sign up . I called and tried to talk to someone and the lady wouldn't give me a manager said she was to busy and she wrote my name and number down , what a joke if u don't want to ruin ur celebration I suggest u book with another boat . I gave it a two start because the captain and deck hands were really nice so we made sure to tip there very well as it was not their fault about the mix up . read more

Me and a group of my friends sailed with Malarky Sailing Charters for a Bachelorette party and we had the best time. The boat is beautiful and the guys that run the boats are awesome.

Had an awesome time with the friendly staff and perfect San Diego weather. Great for groups and kids. I will definitely be back. The staff informed me they have a 70" they can mount to watch football games. I want to take it out for a Thursday or Monday night football game at sunset! I think it would be perfect! read more

WOW What a way to start the day!! This is one of the best charters I have been on to date! It was nice and smooth as we left the slip and once we got out to the open ocean it took the waves with no problem. Once back in the bay we anchored and hit the jet skis and paddle boards!! After the adrenaline rush they had some champagne ready to go. The whole crew is amazing and the boat is very comfortable and the interior has 4 bedrooms and a living area that's perfect to entertain a good amount of ppl!! Top it off with a 70" Projection TV and you've got yourself one great day / night on the water read more

A friend recommended Malarky after she went on a girls day on the Catamaran. So, I booked 4 hours for me and 13 of my besties. The booking with Zack and the Mission Bay Sports Center was so easy! They even helped us find a place to cater so we didn't have to bring anything! Winning! The crew: Captain Mitch and Mr. Trevor were awesome! If you are in the area (local or visiting), definitely hit them up! You won't regret it! read more

I sailed on the Malarky this weekend with all of my close friends for my birthday and we had an AMAZING time! Our captains made our trip very special and carefree. They were so lovely and helpful during the whole charter. The boat itself is breathtakingly gorgeous and very spacious. The front deck of the boat is the place to be. We will definitely come back and charter the Malarky again. It was an unforgettable experience! read more

The Malarky is excellently staffed and fitted for an amazing time! It's a perfect boat for a sail around San Diego. I loved how spacious the trampoline in the front was for lounging and sun bathing. I highly recommend this charter and all other rentals from mission bay sports center. The professionalism and fun loving nature of the staff is unbeatable. read more
