    Golden Hour on the Bay

    From the water, San Diego takes on a different character as the sun dips below the horizon. A sunset charter aboard The Palmilla will offer a peaceful, scenic voyage with attentive service and the amenities of a private yacht.

    Views and Route

    Sunset charters will be timed so guests can enjoy the views from golden hour to dark. The route will cruise by the major sights and monuments between Point Loma and Downtown San Diego, then under the Coronado Bridge.

    From the shimmering lights of the downtown skyline to the Coronado Bridge, the bay provides a continually changing backdrop as the light fades.

    A Stable, Relaxing Ride

    With a stable ride, comfortable seating for 50, and space to move around freely, the deck will offer a relaxed way to watch the sunset on San Diego Bay.

    As a 60-foot catamaran, The Palmilla provides a smooth, stable platform, so guests can settle in and enjoy the evening without the motion of a smaller single-hull vessel.

    Service and Bar

    With a full-service bar, attentive crew members, and an experienced captain, the charter will be attended from start to finish. Every charter will include a beer and wine bar, two bathrooms, and a USCG-certified captain with 2 to 3 crew members.

    Custom craft cocktails will also be available through mixologist partners as an add-on.
