Overview of Charters/Cruises

Scheduling Your Departure Time

Our charters run 7 days a week, 9am to Sunset. When scheduling a sailing time, you will be asked to indicate your preferred time of departure. Departure times depend on availability, but we will do our best to accommodate the time you choose.

Note: Charter prices are for up to 6 passengers, regardless of the capacity of the boat. Please call South Bay Sailing directly if you have more than 6 in your party.

Large Group Scheduling

All of our skippered charter prices are for up to 6 people, or as otherwise listed. Larger groups could choose to experience the more exciting and competitive side of sailing by chartering more than one of South Bay Sailing's high performance boats and spending the day racing across the beautiful waters of the Santa Monica Bay. This chartering format could also be used for a corporate sponsored teambuilding activity that is aimed at increasing the use of teamwork by employees in the work place. These and all additional programs offered by South Bay Sailing can be easily adapted to most group sizes and all experience levels. Please call us directly for pricing and availability.

Cancellation Policy

Special Conditions Apply: A 50% deposit is required to reserve a lesson/charter, with the balance due 14 days prior to the start of the lesson/charter. A lesson/charter may be cancelled with no penalty provided a minimum of 30 days’ notice is provided. Cancellation within 30 days will result in the loss of the deposit, and within 14 days, all funds will be forfeit. If cancellation is made 30 days prior to the scheduled lesson/charter, deposits are transferable, and credit will be given towards a rescheduled lesson/charter.
