WILDLIFE CRUISEThe waters surrounding Marina del Rey are teeming with a wide variety of creatures, including several species of dolphins, whales, seals, and birds.

The Dolphin Cruise

We have been taking dolphin cruises off the coast of Los Angeles, out of Marina Del Rey, for 20 years.

Our Captains have been trained to find migrations running up along the wall of an underwater canyon created by the Santa Barbara Channel. This creates “upwelling” where nutrients from the bottom of the ocean are brushed up to the surface by the current. This can attract whales and littler fish which dolphins love to snack on!

We have pretty good luck most seasons of the year and are happy to discuss the details with you.

HARBOR CRUISEIf you prefer the smooth waters and a shorter sailing time of a harbor cruise, just ask!

Celebrations On the Water

The Blue Moon Private Boat tour offers you an outdoor adventure with friends, family or coworkers. You can bring music, food and beverages of your choice. We will help guide you beforehand to make your event a hit!

Many passengers come aboard simply to enjoy the sunset or to spend the last few hours of the day enjoying the romance of the moment with their a loved one.

Burials at Sea

Its hard to lose a loved one. The Blue Moon has partnered with several Captains who specialize in burials at sea, memorials and remembrances.

We will work with you to create a special cruise to celebrate your loved one and help you to find the moment you are seeking.

Filming and Photoshoots

From SuperShark to an interview with the inventor of the famous Interceptor, the BlueMoon has taken full advantage of being close to Hollywood. We are able to assist with permits and can set up the shots you need!
