Zolna Yachts - San Diego, California

We had a group outing on the Nerissa in the San Diego bay. It was a chilly day but the boat was extremely comfortable with places in the sun, shade, indoor and outdoor. The staff were excellent and the service at the bar was superb.

From the boat we were able to watch military aircraft fly overhead. We saw sea life all around us from seals to dolphins and more. Our excursion included a route along the side of the USS Midway with an up and close view.

All in all it was an excellent outing for our corporate group. I highly recommend.

I went on the Nerissa yesterday for sea sessions and it was the most beautiful experience I had in a long time! The artist was exceptional and the experience was so unique and memorable! We cruised in the bay, saw the downtown views and the military base, it was so beautiful and smooth.
Great crew and great drinks! I will for sure come back again and bring my friends!!!!!

I recently hosted a party for about 40 people aboard Zolna Yachts' Nerissa in September 2024, and the experience was absolutely exceptional! From start to finish, the communications with Shari Zolna were flawless. Shari was incredibly responsive, informative, and a true creative partner in planning. She made the process enjoyable and stress-free, and her recommendation of Sarah Jane's Kitchen for catering was a game-changer. The custom menu Sarah Jane created was delicious and perfect for our event.

The Nerissa itself is stunning – beautifully decorated with a modern, elegant feel. The yacht crew were friendly, attentive, and ensured our evening went off without a hitch. Every detail, from the service to the timing of the event, was perfectly executed.

If you're looking for a unique and memorable venue with top-notch service, I cannot recommend Zolna Yachts and the Nerissa highly enough. It was a magical evening, and I can’t wait to work with them again!

If you’re looking to host an unforgettable event in San Diego, Zolna Yachts is where to do it! I recently threw a surprise 60th birthday party for my parents on one of their yachts, and it was beyond perfect. As someone in my twenties planning a party like this for the first time, I was a bit nervous, but the Zolna Yachts staff made everything so easy and stress-free. They were incredibly helpful from start to finish, guiding me through all the details.

We sailed past some iconic spots like the Coronado Bridge, downtown skyline, and even saw the sun setting over Point Loma, which was absolutely magical. The yacht itself was stunning—modern, elegant, and immaculately maintained, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and celebrate. Everything felt high-end, yet the prices were very reasonable for the level of luxury and service we received.

The Zolna Yachts team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. They helped coordinate the decorations and food. My parents were absolutely blown away, and I can’t thank the staff enough for helping me pull off such a memorable celebration. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending Zolna Yachts to anyone looking to create an unforgettable experience in San Diego!

Had a great time on Zolna Yachts, from the initial contact to the team on-site we had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend them for your team outing, private event, or just a cruise around the harbor.

The owners of Zolna Yachts- Shari and Amos- are so easy and pleasant to work/plan with! We had a large party and they had great suggestions to make it a smooth, fun event! THE CREW is also fun and fabulous!!! The 2-hour cruise on a Sunday at noon was the perfect way for my post-wedding out-of-town guests to see beautiful San Diego on the water-- a classy and elevated experience. I highly recommend Zolna Yachts and the Nerissa charter specifically. Thanks for a great time!

We recently celebrated our company’s 5th anniversary with an unforgettable yacht trip, and I can’t recommend this yacht company highly enough! From start to finish, every detail was impeccably handled. The yacht itself was stunning, providing us with luxurious comfort and breathtaking views at every turn. The sites we visited were absolutely beautiful, offering a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure that everyone on our team enjoyed.

But what truly set this experience apart was the incredible staff. They were not only extremely professional and attentive, but also genuinely friendly and engaging. They anticipated our every need and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible time. Whether it was adjusting the itinerary to suit our preferences or simply sharing their knowledge of the local area, their responsiveness and enthusiasm made all the difference.

If you’re looking for a top-notch yachting experience with a team that makes

5 stars and we will request them again next year and make this an annual experience!!

I booked Zolna Yatchts for my boyfriend and his best friend’s 30th birthday! Shari and Amos were very accommodating in making this experience awesome all around. The staff was amazing on the boat, helping with drinks, food, pictures, anything I needed. Would definitely book again for my next event!
