The boat slips away from Fiji Way as the harbor lights take shape and the Pacific breeze nudges through the railings. Guests lean into the open deck for unobstructed views of yacht-lined channels, breakwater silhouettes and the steady pulse of Marina del Rey Harbor. The DJ sets a tempo; conversation and clinking glasses fill the gaps.
