About California Dream Tours

California Dream Tours is a professional charter company based in Marina Del Rey and one of the very few Coast Guard licensed charters for 15-18 guests in Marina Del Rey! The specially-built yacht 40’ is retired from the US Navy, now the boat becomes a Coast Guard inspected boat to offer a smooth ride on the ocean. She was completely refitted, done by early 2022. All our charters are captained by a master captain and an experienced crew who are drug tested and trained as well and approved by the Los Angeles County Department of Beach and Harbors to run out of Marina Del Rey, so you can feel confident that you are hiring a reputable charter with proper safety inspections, licenses, and insurances.

Our charter boats combine the latest in comfort and stability, with fully-equipped safety gear meeting all federal regulations.

Whether you are celebrating a birthday, bachelorette party, graduations, wedding photos, charter events, potential business clients, memorial at sea, or watching the sunset, the views of the coast along Santa Monica are very unique. Each charter is customizable and personalized to accommodate your needs.

Fantastic!

"We were in LA to visit my brother and his kids, and we wanted to get out on the water to see some wildlife - Captain Joss did not disappoint! The kids loved the dolphins and sea lions. The boat was perfect, he was really fun, and the trip was worth every penny! Will definitely go out again next time we're in LA! Thank you, Joss"
