Cogeto, a 2023 Neel 47 trimaran, sails out of Naos Yachts in Marina del Rey, California, offering weekend escapes and multi-day island trips to Catalina and the Channel Islands. Boarding at 13555 Fiji Way, Marina del Rey, CA 90292, USA, you step aboard a roomy 47-foot platform with four cabins and two heads that can host up to 12 people. The layout balances open-deck sociability with sleeping cabins suitable for groups who want both day cruising and overnight island time.
Short day sails follow the coast past the Santa Monica Pier, pause at Malibu Pier or Paradise Cove for a swim, and drop anchor near Redondo Beach/King Harbor for lunch at a waterside café. Multi-day charters open up Catalina’s coves and moorings and, on longer itineraries, the Channel Islands’ kelp forests and offshore wildlife for snorkeling and shoreline hikes. Onboard amenities include a barbecue, dinghy, propane, and included insurance and cleaning; linens, food and a captain are available as extras.
The trimaran platform defines what makes Cogeto special: multihulls deliver a stable, fast ride and wide decks that make moving around, sunning, and launching the dinghy easier than on many monohulls. That stability improves hand-held photography, makes snorkeling entries more straightforward, and helps a mixed-ability group feel comfortable at sea. Naos Yachts provides check-in at Naos Yachts with a First Time Charter competency option for sailors new to overnight charters, plus a sailing-club discount program for repeat customers.
Practical planning matters: bareboat weekday and weekend pricing vary, service fees and booking taxes apply, and multi-day charters typically require refueling arrangements unless the operator handles it. Bring layered clothing, sun protection, and soft-soled non-marking shoes—the Pacific breeze can turn a sunny morning brisk by afternoon. If you prefer to relax, book the captain add-on or purchase the competency session to gain confidence before casting off.
Rates vary: bareboat weekday days can be about $1,400 and weekend days about $1,550, plus a one-time service fee and booking taxes; the advertised starting total is $2,168 with dinghy, fees, and taxes included. Linens, refueling service, and a paid captain are all offered as add-ons to simplify planning for groups, novice skippers and friends.
