Sunset Cruises & Private Charters at TiKi Mermaid, Marina Del Rey

Located within the bustling Marina Del Rey harbor, TiKi Mermaid offers a distinct coastal adventure on the waters of Southern California. Known for its vibrant social cruises and private charters, this company solidifies its place as a go-to for groups seeking a memorable maritime experience with a twist of laid-back luxury. The Marina itself is a sprawling protected inlet, sheltering an impressive fleet of boats against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and the urban sprawl of Los Angeles.

TiKi Mermaid operates two notable vessels, the Tiki Mermaid and Tiki Too, both sizeable boats designed to accommodate large groups comfortably. The charm here is in the blend of lively onboard atmosphere with the stunning surroundings — whether it’s a company outing, birthday party, or a casual gathering of friends. Guests consistently highlight the staff’s friendly approach and accommodating nature, which elevates the experience beyond just a boat ride.

The cruises frequently feature trips around the Marina with prime sunset views that frame docked yachts and waterfront homes as the sky turns golden. These trips offer a vibrant dance area and cocktail bar, traits that set the Tiki Mermaid apart from other harbor tours. The food, although somewhat basic, adds a casual touch for those celebrating over bites and drinks. Beyond sunset cruises, the charters can be tailored, though most stick to the calm Marina waters rather than extended coastal routes.

Beyond the boats, the local scene introduces visitors to an active boating culture, with opportunities to spot pelicans circling and seals sunning on nearby docks. Marina Del Rey's placement near Los Angeles makes it an accessible water-based escape, with the chance for visitors to mix city life and ocean air. TiKi Mermaid’s combination of festive atmosphere, friendly crew, and prime location crafts an experience that holds a special spot in the Southern California outdoor social landscape.
