Luxury Yacht Rentals

From sun-soaked day charters along the California coastline to multi-day mega yacht voyages in Miami, Valkyrie delivers the finest private yacht experiences on the West Coast and beyond. Every charter includes a licensed captain, fuel, and water toys — so all you need to bring is your guest list.

Why Rent a Yacht with Valkyrie?

Valkyrie began as a luxury car rental company trusted by Fortune 500 executives, professional athletes, and entertainment industry leaders across California and Miami. Our clients kept asking the same question: can you arrange a yacht for the weekend? So we built an elite yacht charter division that matches the white-glove service our car rental clients already know.

Unlike brokers who list hundreds of vessels they've never stepped foot on, we curate a tight fleet of five meticulously maintained yachts and charter vessels. Every boat in our program has been personally inspected, every captain vetted with a minimum of ten years' coastal experience, and every itinerary tailored to your group size, occasion, and preferred waters. Whether you're hosting a corporate retreat in San Francisco Bay, a birthday celebration off the coast of Marina del Rey, or a sunset cruise past the Newport Beach coastline, our concierge team handles everything from provisioning to playlist curation.

Renting a yacht with Valkyrie means no hidden fees, no fuel surcharges buried in the fine print, and no last-minute captain substitutions. We include fuel, a licensed USCG captain, basic insurance, dock fees, and a standard selection of water toys with every booking. Premium add-ons — private chefs, DJ setups, floral arrangements, drone photography — are available through our concierge team and can be arranged with as little as 48 hours' notice.

Types of Yacht Charters We Offer

Day Charters (4–8 hours): The most popular option for birthdays, bachelorette parties, and corporate team outings. Board at your chosen marina in the morning or afternoon, cruise the coastline, anchor in a secluded cove for swimming and water sports, and return by sunset. Day charters start at $2,000 and are available on all five vessels.

Sunset & Evening Cruises (2–4 hours): Shorter and more intimate, these charters are perfect for date nights, proposals, small dinner parties, or simply unwinding after a long week. Depart an hour before golden hour and watch the sun sink below the Pacific from the flybridge or bow.

Overnight & Multi-Day Charters: Available on our 75ft motor yacht and 100ft mega yacht, multi-day voyages let you explore the Channel Islands off Ventura, island-hop through the Florida Keys, or cruise from San Diego to Catalina Island. Full crew, private chef, and stateroom service included.

Corporate & Event Charters: Host your next board meeting, product launch, or investor dinner on the water. We provide AV equipment, catering coordination, branded signage, and event staffing through our concierge team. Our 100ft mega yacht accommodates up to 30 guests seated or 50 for a cocktail-style reception.

Sailing Charters: For guests who prefer the romance of wind-powered travel, our 55ft sailing yacht offers a traditional sailing experience with modern amenities. Three private cabins, teak decks, and a seasoned sailing captain make this ideal for couples, small groups, and anyone looking for a quieter, more authentic on-water experience.

The Valkyrie Yacht Rental Experience

California's coastline stretches over 840 miles, from the rugged cliffs of Big Sur to the sheltered harbors of San Diego Bay. Along the way, you'll find some of the finest cruising waters in the world — and Valkyrie puts you on them in style. Our yacht rental program launched in response to overwhelming demand from existing car rental clients who wanted the same caliber of service on the water. Today, we charter across five cities and maintain a curated fleet of five vessels, each selected for a distinct experience.

In San Francisco, depart from Pier 39 or Sausalito and cruise beneath the Golden Gate Bridge with views of Alcatraz, Angel Island, and the Marin Headlands. Los Angeles charters launch from Marina del Rey — the world's largest man-made small-craft harbor — with access to Catalina Island, the Palos Verdes coastline, and Malibu. Orange County offers departures from Newport Harbor and Dana Point, gateway to world-class whale watching and the Dana Point Headlands Conservation Area. San Diego's Shelter Island and Harbor Island put you minutes from Coronado, Point Loma, and the open Pacific. And in Miami, Biscayne Bay, Star Island, and the Intracoastal Waterway provide a playground unlike anywhere else in the country.

Every Valkyrie yacht rental is fully crewed. Your captain manages navigation, safety, and anchoring while you and your guests focus on the experience. For charters over eight hours, a first mate joins the crew. Multi-day bookings on our motor yacht and mega yacht include a dedicated steward and an optional private chef who can prepare everything from fresh ceviche and poke bowls to a multi-course fine-dining menu with wine pairings. Dietary restrictions, allergies, and kosher or halal requirements are handled with advance notice.

Valkyrie yacht rentals are popular for birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, corporate retreats, engagement celebrations, holiday parties, music video shoots, influencer content creation, and simply because it's Tuesday and the weather is perfect. We've hosted NFL players, Grammy-winning artists, Y Combinator demo day afterparties, and families celebrating milestone anniversaries. No matter the occasion, our team treats every charter like a private event.

Yacht Rental FAQs

How far in advance should I book a yacht rental?
We recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance for weekday charters and 4–6 weeks for weekends, holidays, and peak summer dates (June through September). Last-minute availability is sometimes possible midweek — call our concierge team to check.
Is a captain included in the rental price?
Yes. Every Valkyrie yacht rental includes a USCG-licensed captain at no additional cost. All of our captains carry a minimum of ten years' experience navigating the specific waters in each city we operate.
Can I bring my own food and drinks on board?
Absolutely. You're welcome to bring your own food, beverages, and alcohol aboard any vessel. We provide coolers, ice, glassware, and a wet bar. If you'd prefer a fully catered experience, our concierge team can arrange a private chef or catering package starting at $500.
What happens if the weather is bad on my charter day?
Safety is our top priority. If the National Weather Service issues a small craft advisory or conditions are deemed unsafe by the captain, we will reschedule your charter at no additional cost to the next mutually available date. Light rain or overcast skies generally do not affect departures.
Do you offer multi-day yacht rentals?
Yes. Multi-day charters are available on our 75ft Premium Motor Yacht (3 staterooms) and 100ft+ Mega Yacht (5 staterooms). Popular multi-day routes include LA to Catalina Island, San Diego to Ensenada, San Francisco Bay to Half Moon Bay, and Miami through the Florida Keys. Discounted nightly rates apply for charters of three days or more.
Can I combine a yacht rental with a luxury car rental?
Yes — and many clients do. Our concierge team can arrange a luxury or exotic car to meet you at the marina when you disembark, or deliver a vehicle to your hotel before your charter. Bundle packages with a 10% discount are available when you book both services together.
