When you enter the main channel in Marina del Rey, it's like stepping foot into a popular Music Festival, full of sparkling diamond-like rays of light splashing off of fresh cold blue ocean water. The air is fresh and while you're on the tour all of your troubles seems to have disappeared. This is called water therapy. Our boats start up the basin, into the main channel, up and around the jetty to the open ocean where you get a glimpse of what forever looks like. From the mouth of the marina, you'll see the mountain ranges of Malibu up to Ventura, down to Santa Monica and Venice Beach. This is where we offer the photo opportunity of a lifetime, and if you book our sunset time slot, a sunset worthy of a post card. You won't want to miss the sea lion pups waiting on the jetty for their mothers to bring them food. Then, as we make our way back, on the opposite side you'll see El Segundo, Playa Del Rey, UCLA rowing club, and Fisherman's Village.
