Full Description

Enjoy the finest in gourmet cuisine, surrounded by spectacular scenery for a remarkable evening on the Los Angeles Dinner Cruise.

Glorious sights and sounds greet you as you step foot on the luxurious yacht for an unforgettable experience on the water. Private seating that's perfectly suited for your party size is just one of the many perks of this fine dining in LA. With spacious decks that were made for strolling and lounging, as well as dance floors and live entertainment, a memorable night awaits.

Chef's select dessert

Once your dining is done, take advantage of the exquisite sightseeing opportunities offered on the Los Angeles Dinner Cruise. Cozy up next to a special someone as you watch the water sparkle in the glow of the setting sun, and day slips into a starry night. Sip cocktails or craft beer in the good company of family and friends as this scenic cruise from LA glides past impressive mansions, beaches, and harbors.

Don't forget to save a few moments for the dance floor on this 2.5- or 3-hour cruise! As the dining winds down, the DJ will heat things up with lively music, so cruise guests can rock back to the dock.

The Marina Del Rey dinner cruise traverses through the world's largest man-made small craft harbor, carved from the natural estuary of Playa Del Rey. The resort area that has grown around this wonderful recreational resource includes several large parks and hosts many annual events, including an art festival, sailing regattas, and the Christmas Parade of Lights.

Prefer a Newport Beach dinner cruise departure instead? Glide through one of the largest small-boat harbors in the world, rimmed by the boat slips of the Balboa Peninsula on the south, the rocky shores of Corona Del Mar at the harbor's mouth, and bustling Mariner's Mile on the north shore.

Whether you're looking for a romantic evening for two, celebrating a birthday or anniversary, or simply scoping out entertaining things to do in LA, this Los Angeles Dinner Cruise is sure to promise an unforgettable experience!
