    NO SHOW! I recently booked my birthday trip with Ya Mon on 9/18/20. We had correspondence the days leading up to the trip regarding details. The day of September 18th my group and I had tried several times to contact Jeff however he declined our calls and failed to give us an update on what way going on. We are very understanding however after numerous attempts he failed to let us know what was going on. We later got another boat and saw Jeff's boat floating around the harbor! NOT OK!

    Ya Mon! :D is the right way to have fun!!

    Me and my boyfriend decided to check this out and were so glad we did i definitely recommend trying this unique experience! Great tour at Marina del Rey ! theres alot to see...you Wont regret it i promise!! Thanks for having us Jeff & Kisses :) ! Ps Kisses is such a sweet furry friend who lead us to find seals soooo cute Overall AMAZING!

    We loved this.  Brought our own bin to flip for a table and own decor and trash bags to help keep clean.  Jeff was amazing.

    We just spent the day with Jeff and Kisses with Ya Mon Boats celebrating our daughter's 17th birthday. What a perfect day. Jeff was early to set up and had everything ready to go when we arrived. He was flexible and very positive. Jeff took us all around the Newport Harbor and we marveled at all of the incredible yachts and gorgeous back drop. Jeff made sure the temperature of the water was perfect for the teens and the Jacuzzi was super clean. We would definitely go again. I appreciated Jeff letting us set up for the occasion and we made sure take great care of of his boat bringing our decor. If you plan a table display, bring a storage bin to flip for a table and table cloth as the boat table is a small flip open table and low. Other than that, you will have all you need for the best day of entertainment, fun and relaxation, I highly recommend.

    Chartered a trip for my kids and I during the Newport Christmas Boat Parade. We had a unbelievably good time and were definitely "stars" of the parade (can't tell how many times people asked to join us!). Jeff is a great host and the hot tub was amazing. We had great weather so we spent most of the time sitting on the side of the hot tub watching the lights. It would have worked even in the rain though cause we could of just sat in the hot tub the whole time. Jeff is super, very laidback, helpful and friendly. Definitely a special experience!

    Jeff was amazing, flexible, and the dog was so well behaved. I would tell anyone wanting to do this to keep the hot tub at 107, which sounds way too hot, but it loses heat quicker than the hot tub heater can keep up. Also I would suggest a way to route the exhaust from the generator underwater maybe, you could smell it occasionally. This was an amazing way to cruise the harbor!

Went on a 2 hour tour with Captain Erica and Molly, down in Newport Beach. They were absolutely the best. Captain Erica was knowledgeable and friendly that we were able to enjoy the whole ride. We saw a momma grey whale and baby and hundreds and hundreds of bottle nose dolphins. As Captain Erica said, we must have had lucky people on board to experience both on the same tour. Molly got some awesome and amazing shots that she was able to share with us. We thoroughly enjoyed the surfing dolphins that were created by the wake from our boat. The conditions were perfect, and the experience was worth every penny. We're already planning our next tour for the upcoming season and can't wait to book an Oxnard adventure with them. Hopefully we can get this dynamic duo again. Can't speak highly of Captain Erica and Molly. Total worth it. See you guys soon.

There was a large table and cushioned seating all around the table. We could also go to the aft of the boat which had two small seats. We ordered a charcuterie box which was already on the boat upon our arrival. Very pleasant experience from start to finish.

The 90 minute Private Brew Boat ($590) which includes a captain and a deckhand, bluetooth speaker on the boat for you to play your jams, and you can bring your own brews, limited to closed canned beverages. Good times! They have a parking garage, no validation offered, but the majority of us just lyfted/ubered down for safety. Prior to the event, we were provided the waiver links to share with our team. Everyone had a change to review the waivers and sign prior. On the day of the event, they ask that everyone arrived 15 minute early, and they will be checking IDs to confirm the names of the waivers signed. We had Lily as the deckhand who was helping us for the day. After we were all checked in, we were lead into their docks and boarded the board, where we met Captain Joe. Captain Joe started off with a safety speech, and from there we were ready to party. Keep the boat fairly balanced, don't all run to one side, not too many people at the front all at once, the front is on the opposite end as the Captain. There were 10 pedaling seats and an area in the front. There was one broken pedal. This boat has a motor so the pedaling is optional but it's for funsies. One of the pedal seats were broken and not in operations. Also these bike like seats were not very comfortable. After the first hour folks got off and stood around, but they were over-it with the bike chairs. Good for groups of 12-16, but if we had a smaller group I would have prefered the standard size duffy boats. It was hard to mingle since you were essentially stuck in the seat and spread pretty far out from everyone. Still a fun time, but I just had better. Also remember to Tip. They have their venmo information up, or afterwards they send you an email asking you how your experience went, and there is an option to tip after that fact if you were unable to on the day of the event.
