My wife and I had a wonderful experience sailing with NAOS Yachts in Marina del Rey on October 9,…read more2026. We chartered Firefly, a Beneteau 37.1, with Captain Lori Klaidman, who made the entire outing relaxing, enjoyable, and memorable. Lori took us north from the marina to a beautiful anchorage in about 2 hours. We briefly dropped the hook in 30 feet of water, jumped in to cool off then enjoying drinks and snacks we brought aboard. We raised the sails and heading south and east back toward the marina to complete the day sail. The combination of time at anchor and a peaceful sail made for exactly the kind of day on the water we had hoped for. Lori was an excellent captain. Jennifer and I were impressed with he knowledge of the region, professionalism and easygoing nature. She even provided special eyeglass frames which help settle Jennifer's mild seasickness which seriously helped make the experience enjoyable. Firefly was a pleasure to helm, set and retract in mast sails which is easier than traditional boom stacked sail we have on our boat back home. We visit family in Los Angeles annually and take advantage of sailing the opposite coast especially because it would take a day or more to reach open water from where we sail back east. Besides the proximity to the ocean, charactering with NAOS affords a wonderful way to enjoy the Southern California coast. We intend to return to strongly recommend NAOS Yacths to anyone looking for a relaxing, well-run sailing experience in Marina del Rey.

I cannot stress about how happy i am making the choice of using Happiest Ours Yacht Charters. Although it was a bit more pricy than the rest, after touring the marina and seeing other charters out on the same day, you could easily see why some people like Ferraris and others settle for Toyotas. Our charter was by far the best looking, most fun looking, best energy, and dont get me started on the food and service. These are things not every person can see from the outside but i am here to vouch for it. Dont miss out on an amazing day that your family and friends will talk about for the rest of your life.

Everyone that went really enjoyed themselves and said they would book another boat ride with the same captain and boat. Before the day we sailed out I asked a million and one questions and they were all answered in a timely manner. Instructions on how to prepare for the charter were clear. Directions to where the dock is located were clear as well. They recommend buying Dramamine for motion sickness. You should get it even if you don't think you'll get sick. My group and I did a morning charter and were back by the afternoon. I thought that was perfect since it wasn't too hot while we were out in the ocean. Can't wait to book another boat ride. Thanks, Captain Stephen!

Don't worry if you don't have gear, they do and don't worry if you are just tagging along with someone who loves to fish. A great time will be had. The yacht is so clean and very comfortable. There are bathrooms and places to sit. The Captain and crew are so nice. They are very helpful for people just starting out and they know how to help the seasoned fisherman. You can also charter the yacht to spread ashes of a loved one. I have not done that, but some were doing that before we boarded and they had a lovely little ceremony for their parents. There is also a lot to do right in the Marina before or after. You will love it.

The boat itself is very clean and had plenty of seating space (both inside & outside) as well as room in the front netting to enjoy ocean views from both side. We brought our own food and drinks to enjoy. We had Captain Ron throughout our excursion who is simply the BEST. You can tell that he has a ton of experience, and even brought us to see pods of dolphins swimming! He expertly navigated us so close to the dolphins, and this experience was the highlight of our weekend.

But luckily Captain Anthony (aka The Happy Captain) helped to dispel any of those fears. His 30+ years of sailing experience and instruction got us up to speed quickly on the 38-ft catamaran "Untethered". In addition to sailing, we learned provisioning, how to anchor at mooring balls in Catalina, and spent 4 nights on board. It's hard to express they joy I felt at seeing the dozens of dolphins that joined us one afternoon. The man overboard drills we did offshore of Marina Del Rey were also memorable. We brought our own Starlink terminal and were able to familiarize ourselves with some of the navigation and weather apps. Ruth in the office made sure all of our logistics went smoothly. We had signed up a few months prior, with a promo offered during the 2025 Newport Boat Show. Big thanks to the team at Blue Pacific. Highly recommend!
