    A Curated Experience

    From intimate gatherings to milestone celebrations, dinner charters aboard The Palmilla will combine attentive service, the scenery of San Diego Bay, and a refined atmosphere for an evening that will stand apart from a traditional restaurant dinner.

    An Elegant Setting on the Water

    Aboard The Palmilla, a 60-foot catamaran, dinner will unfold against the open backdrop of San Diego Bay rather than the walls of a restaurant. Elegant tablescapes and a customizable layout will frame each table, while the bay provides a setting that no private dining room can match.

    The Palmilla will offer a distinctive dining experience for you and your guests, whether the evening is an intimate gathering or a larger celebration. The deck layout can be arranged to suit the size and style of your party.

    Catering and Course Formats

    Flexible catering options will be coordinated to your preferences, from shared plates to coursed meals, with seamless service throughout the charter. The format can be shaped around the pace and style of your evening.

    Catering partners are also available for guests who prefer a coordinated menu. Please contact us for details on catering partners and course formats.

    The Bar and Beverage Service

    Every dinner charter will include a beer and wine bar as part of the service onboard. With a liquor license in place, the bar will typically serve beer, wine, seltzers, and canned cocktails.

    For guests who want a more tailored beverage program, custom craft cocktails will be available through partnerships with mixologists as an add-on.
