    Wholesome and Fun Cruise

    Captain Shaun was very welcoming and knowledgeable of the marina. I’ve been living in the area for 5+ years and didn’t have an appreciation of the special wildlife and culture prior to this cruise experience. The Pinot Grigio and charcuterie board paired well and the small group had a blast jamming out to music. I highly recommend this tour for any and all occasions!

    Scam

    Scam! Liars and thiefs. Bad business. They don’t tell you it’s a small boat with 10 other people! They switch the location the day before! Do not book. Entire scam. Waste of money! Do not book.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your frustration, but we need to clarify the facts. You did not show up for your booked tour. Because of our clearly stated no-show / no-refund policy, you were not refunded. You never experienced the tour — so your claims about boat size, location changes, or the experience itself are not based on any actual participation. Immediately after missing your tour, you demanded a refund and began bullying our team with threats of bad reviews in an attempt to intimidate us into paying you back. We do not tolerate threats or harassment. Our business maintains a consistent 5‑star rating from actual customers who completed the tour. We invite anyone reading this to scroll through our other verified reviews. That is the real reflection of our service. We have reported this review to Viator for removal, as it was left by a no‑show with no firsthand experience.

    The perfect romantic tour of Marina Del Rey

    If you’re on the fence about booking this, just do it! We had an incredible time seeing the marina with Shawn. He played great music and is a very kind and easygoing person. We saw a lot of sea lions and were able to get really close. I was surprised at the size of the marina and how fast the two hours went by. A major bonus is the Shawn is a great photographer, so we’re taking home some amazing photos as a keepsake. I wish I could give this tour more than 5 stars, we’ve been recommending it to all of our friends.

    Wonderful excursion!! Would highly recommend this!

    Enjoyed a wonderful boat cruise with Captain Sean! Got to see a lot of sea lions, which was fun. While most of them bark, we came across one who actually roared like a lion. It was hilarious. It's a great way to spend a couple of hours on the water in an intimate setting.

    Romantic Luxury Wine Cruise w/ Music, Sealions +Several add-ons: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Romantic Luxury Wine Cruise w/ Music, Sealions +Several add-ons cost?

    +

    Prices start at $149 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 Romantic Luxury Wine Cruise w/ Music, Sealions +Several add-ons take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 Romantic Luxury Wine Cruise w/ Music, Sealions +Several add-ons worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 14 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 Romantic Luxury Wine Cruise w/ Music, Sealions +Several add-ons?

    +

    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 Romantic Luxury Wine Cruise w/ Music, Sealions +Several add-ons suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Romantic Luxury Wine Cruise w/ Music, Sealions +Several add-ons?

    +

    Around 5 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Romantic Luxury Wine Cruise w/ Music, Sealions +Several add-ons 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.
