We had a beautiful memorial/ ashes at sea, for my son. Art and Spencer took wonderful care of us. After we spread his ashes, we were able to fish. They knew where to take us and we caught two yellowtail! We are grateful for their support at this difficult time and efforts in making this a memorable experience. read more

Celebrated our 25th anniversary with a few friends last evening and it was PERFECT. The boat, staff, music, lights and weather. Art was super host and was very flexible with schedule. We were running late but he didn't complain at all. We had the best time in this boat with very close friends and have made memories for life. Art took 360 videos from a small boat for us to capture memories from every angle. The food recommendations were very good. Christina and her staff were awesome. read more

Captain Art and the crew was AMAZING to work with. They were all very accommodating, helpful, kind, and thoughtful!! I booked them for a bachelorette party for 13 of us this past weekend and we all had so much fun!! The yacht is very clean and very spacious. We were able to bring our own food, snacks, and drinks.. and play our own playlist. We can't thank you enough for such a wonderful time, your crew is seriously the BEST!!!! And I'm already sending out recommendations!! read more

We had an amazing time on Art's boat! Right of the bat we were greeted by Art with a smile. The Yacht itself is huge and sparkling clean. The boat has an amazing speaker system that goes to both the front and the back of the boat so you can play whatever you want. There are multiple levels to the boat whether you want to climb up to the top, stand out front, or go inside and hide from the sun. There are two restrooms. Everything was EXTREMELY well kept. Art was super accommodating to all our needs. He even provided towels for the on-board jacuzzi! Normally, you would think someone with a yacht as nice as Art's would get annoyed with 12 25 year old girls running around his boat blasting music and drinking White Claws but Art was so relaxed the entire time! He even came down and had some snacks with us. The tour was beautiful and the water was amazing! When one of the girls needed to leave early Art offered to go back to the rock to drop them off. Super nice and courteous. 100% the best experience I've had on a boat. We were there for my friends birthday and he really made it one to remember read more

A wonderful crew on a hard day scattering my brother's ashes- excellent trip up the coast and back down - Dolphins followed us for a good portion of the trip, too. read more

Captain Art did a fantastic job showing a spectacular time to my wife and I, as well as 14 of our other close friends. The boat was incredible and extremely spacious. Area to hang out on the back, and very nice inside area with full kitchen, table, and places to sit. The front of the boat was my favorite as it was huge! Also more comfortable places to sit, and Captain Art brought out a small fire for us for when it got cold since it was a night cruise....Multiple levels too so you could get really high up and enjoy the view! Boat had a nice sound system that we could hook our phones too and played good quality sound all over the boat. All in all the cruise was a huge success and we all had an amazing time. I would absolutely recommend the Osprey for your for your next outing! Thank you Captain Art!! read more

Celebrated my best friends bachelorette party on Osprey yacht and boy oh boy, those memories will be with me forever! Author the owner of the charter was so responsive, professional, yet very laid back too. He was really accommodating with our party size and requests, and even helped us surprise the bride to be with a stripper that was brought on to the boat on a smaller boat! It was AMAZING and soooo much fun! The hostess was great too, she made sure we all had fun but also safe. Would definitely recommend Osprey Yacht Charters for anyone interested in throwing an epic party on the water! read more

Great trip with Osprey and Captain Art!! Everything was great and fun for our anniversary cruise through Mission Bay. My Wife and I with a great couple share our anniversary date Aug 29th. Art came through for us and made a good day GREAT! From Boarding, to Cruise, to Docking, it was great! "Worth far more than a trip to the jewelry store" said wife :) They thought they were going to a beach blanket to watch the sunset and were pleasantly surprised to see Captain Art and his magical playlist. Great Stereo system and he offered Bluetooth but we liked his playlist. Yacht was above expectations Clean and spacious. We spent most of time on Bow with refreshment and snacks we brought. will be adding this to next trip to San Diego. Thank you Captain Art!!! read more

Osprey Yacht Charters was one of the best decisions we made all weekend! Celebrated a bachelorette party and had an absolute blast! The boat has everything you could ever need - plenty of space, three levels, inside cabin, tables, lounge chairs, coolers and even a hot tub! Captain Art was so easy to work with and very accommodating to our group. Tell him what you want and you got it! We'll definitely be contacting Osprey Yacht Charters again when we're back in San Diego! read more

I first met Captain Arturo several years ago and I keep inviting more friends to rent out the Osprey. It is a gorgeous boat perfectly situated on the end of the pier in Mission Bay. I have been on concert cruises, dinner cruises, whale watching cruises and even the sunset cruises. It is one of our go-to things to do in San Diego. I recommend Arturo's boat to anyone looking for something unique to do with friends or even for a company outing. Arturo is friendly, funny, and even played guitar for us! If you are looking for that personal touch and feeling like you have your OWN yacht for the day.... this is the best bet. Next on my bucket list is the Catalina trip!!! read more

10/10 experience! I had my birthday party and Arthur and Don were great. They provided ice and a ice chest along with beautiful boat! I would recommend this charter to everyone! Thank you Arthur for a great birthday! read more

10/10 recommend! Captain Art was amazing. I am so happy that we found him on Yelp. From the moment we reached out, he was very responsive/helpful. I booked for my bachelorette party over Memorial Day weekend. The experience was more than I could have asked for. As other reviews mentioned, we got to bring our own snacks and drinks. We were able to hook up to the Bluetooth and play our own playlist. The speakers sounded so good! Art even got a bunch of great group pictures for us. He went above and beyond, and I can't thank him and his crew for helping to make my bachelorette party so memorable. Do yourself a favor and book a charter; you won't regret it! read more

Hands down best Sunday funday ever! My group and I originally had the boat for 3 hours, but because there were no other rides for the day Art let us extend it by two more hours! Lots of room on the boat to spread out into groups, eat in the kitchen, and even relax in the hot tub. Art was the most amazing captain ever. He even played us a birthday song at the end of our ride! Thank you so much Art! read more

Ashes on the Sea contracted Osprey Yacht Charters for us to scatter ashes in the Ocean near La Jolla cove. All I can say is one word, incredible.

Arturo and Vanessa were awesome. We booked the boat for 3 hours for dinner for my parents 50th Anniversary. We anchored in the bay and another boats music was extremely loud and so Arturo moved the boat so we could have a nice relaxing dinner. He was always attentive and checking to see if we needed anything. Even when making the reservation, he was quick with responses and accommodating to our requests. Vanessa was the chef and the food was AMAZING. Everyone loved It. The boat has a good sound system too for the music. We were able to connect via bluetooth and you could hear It all around the boat. We had an enjoyable time and if we are in the area again for a special occasion we would definitely contact him again. read more

Wow what an experience with Art and the Osprey yacht. I took my girlfriend out onto the bay and the ocean in this beautiful vessel with Art at the helm and we had an incredible time for her birthday at sunset. Worth every penny - it was magical. Had our music playing throughout the boat, plenty of room to relax with a bottle of champagne, and a pristine San Diego bay/ocean experience all around in this amazing yacht. Would 100% recommend you give Art a call for your next party, outing, or even just a romantic night. He'll show you around and is a great guy. Thanks Art! read more

I've been on the Osprey a few times, and it's always been fabulous. The yacht itself is classy, and Arturo is the consummate host -- the food is delicious, the beverages are upscale, and everyone has a wonderful time. When there's live music, the performers have always been top-notch! Just being on the bay and gazing at the scenery evokes a feeling of serenity. Guys: if you want a romantic evening to impress your date, this is the place to do it. I can't wait to go back again! read more

Had a great time for St. Patrick's day party . Thanks so much and love the sound system read more

The Osprey is the perfect mix of luxury and adventure! We went out with a few friends for an afternoon cruise not knowing quite what to expect, and boy were we pleasantly surprised. Captain Arturo is a knowledgeable tour guide and gracious host, and the yacht itself is super spacious, impeccably kept, and decked out with everything you might need or want on a cruise of the bay. As we are fairly new to the area, our trip on the Osprey gave us a stunning and unforgettable view of our new city, and we fully intend to go back and take others. Thank you, Arturo! read more

I read many favorable reviews about this yacht before I booked this charter to scatter my wife's ashes on a recent sunset cruise. And they were all RIGHT ON! The boat was beautiful and the experience was tremendous. ABOVE ALL, Captain Art was so compassionate and kind and attended to everything to make our trip very pleasant. He even took about 20 photos and a short video clip and sent them to me immediately following our trip. Myself and the other eleven family members and friends that went on this trip will always be eternally grateful for this wonderful memory that Captain Art help provide. Someday when I return to San Diego, I will definitely go out on the Osprey again. A very big THANK YOU to Captain Art and I would highly recommend his services to everyone! read more

We had a very nice family ceremony and trip on the Osprey. It was very clean and comfortable. The captains were very nice and helpful.

It was my first spending on the Osprey yesterday, and all I can say that it was unforgettable... Arturo is a wonderful host
