50ft Island Time: Luxury Sunset Yacht Charter in Marina del Rey

Island Time is a 50-foot luxury yacht offering three-hour private charters out of Marina del Rey, California. Step aboard for a harbor cruise that feels like a private waterfront apartment on the water. The yacht’s bright coastal interior and panoramic salon give way to a large bow for photos and an expansive aft deck for socializing. On calm afternoons the harbor feels slow and private; fishermen and paddleboarders trace channels while sea lions cluster on floating docks and bob near the breakwater. Departing from Marina del Rey, guests can slip past the marina’s mosaic of sail and motorboats into Santa Monica Bay, anchoring in a quiet cove when you want to swim or drop a line. The yacht’s full galley, private restroom, Bluetooth sound system, and smart TV make it a comfortable setting for birthdays, engagements, family outings, and corporate outings. Bring your own food and beverages; complimentary bottled water and ice are provided. For groups that plan to swim, the charter requires two crew members aboard to handle anchor operations, and you can add a stewardess at booking. What makes this charter special is its blend of polished comfort and local ease. The 50ft Island Time balances open-deck visibility with a roomy indoor salon—ideal for capturing sunset light or sheltering from a coastal breeze. The boat’s mood lighting and lounge seating set a relaxed tone for a sunset cruise past Venice Beach and the Marina del Rey breakwater, where the western horizon turns gold behind pelicans and occasional dolphins. Practical details matter here: the charter rate is $500 per hour, booked exclusively as a private charter. Typical three-hour sails are long enough to glide the harbor, anchor in a protected spot for a swim, and watch the sun dip beyond the skyline. The crew handles navigation and safety; passengers should bring towels for swimming and any food or drink they want to enjoy. This is a straightforward, high-comfort way to experience Southern California’s coastal lifestyle without the crowds of larger party boats. Families will appreciate the private restroom and sheltered salon; couples will like the bow for sunset photos; groups will enjoy the aft deck for conversation and music. Whether you’re toasting a milestone or carving a few hours out of an L.A. weekend, Island Time offers a smooth, intimate way to claim a stretch of Pacific sky. Book early during summer weekends when slips sell out; midweek or late-afternoon sails often find calmer water and softer light. The yacht comfortably hosts small groups—ideal for six to twelve guests—and the crew can help plan a route to maximize views while staying sheltered. Keep sunscreen, a light windbreaker, and a cooler for perishables; the crew will supply basic safety gear.
