Yacht Charters & Malibu Voyages with Calico Yacht Charter

Marina del Rey, California, offers a distinct gateway to the Pacific’s vast, shimmering expanse, and Calico Yacht Charter delivers an unmatched maritime experience here. Operating from one of the world’s largest man-made small craft harbors, their fleet of finely maintained vessels—most notably the 40ft “Calico” and the 50ft “Alokoy”—marries comfort with coastal adventure on the Southern California coast.

Whether you’re drawn to a quick 2-hour cruise or a full-day Catalina Island voyage, Calico Yacht Charter creates tailored experiences that harness the natural beauty and diversity of the region. Sunset specials provide breathtaking views as the sun dips behind the Santa Monica Mountains, turning the water a molten gold. For surf lovers, the Little Dume Surf Trip offers access to Malibu’s renowned breaks from an uncommon vantage point, far from the crowded shore.

Distinctive features include frequent encounters with dolphins, escorting you through calm, clear waters rich with marine life. Emerald Bay and Catalina Island stand out as prime destinations thanks to their unique coastal geology—rugged cliffs, hidden coves, and kelp forests that cling to the rocky seabed. These vibrant waters invite paddleboarding and swimming amid scenic isolation rarely found so close to Los Angeles.

Captains like Colin and Daniel combine expert local knowledge with warm hospitality, ensuring every onboard moment is seamless—from personalized celebrations like marriage proposals to family birthdays. Clean, spacious, and well-appointed yachts add to the reliability and style of each trip, making Calico Yacht Charter not just a rental service but a key part of the outdoor recreation scene here.

This company champions quality and comfort while opening the ocean’s wonders for visitors and locals alike, proving that true coastal adventure can be both accessible and extraordinary on California’s iconic coastline.
