    Fantastic sailing experience

    Matthew is a great guy and highly experienced in sailing. I’d recommend bringing 2-3 friends and not much more. Matthew is a very interesting guy with a lot of great stories; very fun to talk to. Really fun experience all around!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to review my business! It was a pleasure spending time with you. Looking forward to our next adventure!!!

    So fun!!!

    Matthew is so awesome and easy to talk to! I booked this for a couples trip and we got to see an amazing sunset. The rosé and snacks are a plus! Definitely recommend this for anyone visiting LA or looking for a fun experience on the water.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure spending time with you onboard Prima Stella!!

    Old Plank Adventures: Sail into Deep Tranquility: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santa Monica.

    How much does Old Plank Adventures: Sail into Deep Tranquility cost?

    +

    Prices start at $400 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santa Monica usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Old Plank Adventures: Sail into Deep Tranquility take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santa Monica is not rushed.

    Is Old Plank Adventures: Sail into Deep Tranquility worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santa Monica, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Old Plank Adventures: Sail into Deep Tranquility?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Old Plank Adventures: Sail into Deep Tranquility suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Old Plank Adventures: Sail into Deep Tranquility?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santa Monica can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santa Monica and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Old Plank Adventures: Sail into Deep Tranquility start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santa Monica within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Santa Monica?

    +

    Santa Monica is where most LA coast tours start: beach bike and e-bike rides to Venice, surf lessons, food walks on Third Street and open-top runs up Pacific Coast Highway. On Outty we rank every Santa Monica experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Los Angeles Guided City Tour with 4 Stops and Free Time, Half Day Best of Los Angeles City Tour from Santa Monica, Hollywood, Beverly Hills & Celebrity Homes Tour by Open Air Bus. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Santa Monica?

    +

    March to May and September to November, dodging the June marine layer. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Santa Monica?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
