Plan your perfect day on the bay
Enjoy an experience that is uniquely tailored to you and your guests.
With input from the captain, we'll create a sail that can include offshore sailing, lunch, or a sunset cruise. Choose your preferred start time and duration, and we'll take care of the rest.
Take in the sea lions, dolphins, and, if we're lucky, a whale or two. Watch the F/A-18s take off from North Island Naval Air Station. Or, just lean back on the sun pad and stare at the horizon. All custom experiences include personalized service, gourmet food and beverage menus, and the luxury of privacy.
How it works
We'll contact you ahead of your sail to discuss menu options, weather conditions, and what to expect during your excursion. You'll receive our beverage and appetizer menus where you can choose from a variety of hand-crafted charcuterie boards made from fresh, seasonal, farm-to-table ingredients guaranteed to delight your palette. Please note any dietary restrictions and food allergies.
All sails are private and are planned exclusively for you and your guests. The Riviera can accommodate a maximum of six passengers. Our crew will take care of everything for you. All you need to bring is your wonderful selves!
