Bachelorette boat parties on Mission Bay, San Diego
The bachelorette boat that fits your whole crew.
Up to 22 guests, so nobody gets cut from the group text.
Marissa Cruises is a private, whole-boat charter for the bride and up to 21 of her people, out on Mission Bay with Captain Lora at the wheel since 2009. You bring the bottles, the playlist, and the sash. We bring the boat, dressed for the occasion, with a JBL PartyBox for your music and a bathroom on board. It’s a woman-owned boat, which feels about right for the send-off, and the bride’s dog is welcome too.
Bring the bride. Bring the crew. Bring the bottle.
What your crew gets
Room for the whole crew, dressed for the send-off.
Up to 22 on board
The bride plus 21. Everyone rides together, no splitting the group across two rentals.
Bring your bottles
It’s BYOB. Load the cooler with whatever she likes. We ask for cans or plastic instead of glass, since glass and bare feet don’t mix on a boat.
Deck it out
We set the boat up bride-style before you step on. Bring your own touches too, sashes, banners, a cake. We skip confetti, glitter, and balloons, since they blow overboard and the bay keeps them.
Captain Lora has run this bay since 2009, EMT-trained, the same hands on the wheel every trip. Three hours on the water is $1,800 for the whole boat, about $90 a head with a group of 20. Marissa Cruises is 100% woman-owned, and 1% of every booking goes back to ocean conservation.
From the guests
We had an amazing time cruising around the bay, looking at seals, dancing, and celebrating in beautiful San Diego.

Bachelorette questions guests ask.
How many people can come?
The Marissa is Coast Guard rated for 22, so it’s the bride plus 21, and the whole charter is private. Tell us your headcount when you book and we’ll make room for everyone.
Can we bring drinks and decorate?
Yes. It’s BYOB, bring bottles and a cooler, cans or plastic instead of glass. We dress the boat bride-style before you step on, and you can bring your own touches like sashes and banners. We skip confetti, glitter, and balloons, since they blow overboard.
Can we play our own music?
Yes. There’s a JBL PartyBox on board, so plug in the bride’s playlist and go.
Is there a bathroom on board?
Yes, a full bathroom, so nobody’s cutting the party short.
Can we bring the bride’s dog?
Dogs are welcome on every charter. Captain Lora’s beagles ride along most trips, so yours will be in good company.
How long should we book, and when does it leave?
Two, three, or four hours, with cruises starting as early as 2:30pm. Three hours is the most popular, enough for the sunset and a good stretch of dancing.
How much is it?
$1,800 for three hours on the whole boat, about $90 a head with a group of 20.
How far ahead should we book?
Weekend dates go early in the season, so once you’ve got a date, grab it and we’ll hold the boat.
