Group Yacht Chartering
A luxury group yacht charter to the enchanted Channel Islands for as little as one day and up to one week off the coast of Santa Barbara offers a fantastic experience in unique and memorable settings. The spectacular backdrops, vibrant atmosphere and unparalleled service available on a motor or sailing yacht charter are perfectly suited for groups to create a big impact. A group charter is tailor-made to the needs and purposes of the group’s goal with the added elements of complete privacy, decadent cuisine and endless activities to create a truly special occasion.
Yacht charters have become increasingly popular with groups looking to organize important meetings away from the routine of hotels and restaurants. A charter yacht provides the perfect opportunity to enhance relationships with other group participants in complete comfort while offering the perfect balance between business and pleasure in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Any group event can be customized to suit the specific needs of your organization with the knowledge and expertise of an experienced charter crew to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Subject to maritime regulations, many luxury yachts can accommodate a maximum of 8 to 12 charter guests. For larger parties it is an option to reserve more than one charter yacht.

Day-Tripper Channel Islands Motor Charter Experience
Crossing the Santa Barbara Channel to Santa Cruz Island takes more than an hour with a stop along the way for a peak (inside!) the second longest sea cave in the world. Continue down the coast of Santa Cruz Island and drop anchor in a remote bay for lunch and a swim before your return back to the mainland just in time for dinner. The contemporary interiors are calming and comfortable. You will think you were transported to the South Coast of France or the Amalfi Coast of Italy for a picnic tour on a European-style motor yacht.
