This totally depends on the vibe of the yacht. If you're on a luxury cruise, go for cocktail attire—think dresses, button-ups, and dress shoes. But if you're keeping it casual on a sailboat or smaller charter, a casual outfit with a light jacket (because of the ocean breezes) works fine. Just avoid heels—decks and stilettos don't mix.
Many yachts, like Zolna Yachts, come with onboard sound systems where you can hook up your playlist via Bluetooth. Some even have DJ setups, so you're covered if you want a dance party at sea.
San Diego's weather is pretty great all year, but spring and summer are prime time if you want the best sunsets. That said, fall offers warm evenings and fewer crowds, making it a solid choice too. Just avoid stormy winter days.
There are many options to choose from. Harbor Island is known for its convenient access to downtown and spectacular city views, while Mission Bay provides a more relaxed setting with calm waters. Roseville/Fleet Ridge, near Point Loma, offers a mix of luxury yachts and more casual charters.
