Nerissa Motor Yacht at Zolna Yachts
About this space
The Nerissa – A Private Luxury Yacht Venue on San Diego Bay
The Nerissa is a 73-foot luxury motor yacht and private event venue on San Diego Bay, hosting as few as 2 and up to 49 guests. From an elegant, chef-prepared dinner for two to a corporate group of any size or a full celebration of 49, she offers a refined, fully private setting — with the corporate sweet spot around 30 to 40. USCG-certified and professionally crewed, Nerissa pairs relaxed coastal elegance with seamless, behind-the-scenes service for hosts who want an elevated experience without complication.
Designed for comfort and flow, Nerissa features a climate-controlled main salon, an open-air upper sky deck made for live music and dancing, a bow lounge, a back cockpit, and a beautifully lit quartzite bar. Four onboard restrooms mean no lines, even with a full group. Guests cruise past iconic landmarks — the downtown skyline, USS Midway, and Coronado Bridge — a stunning backdrop for daytime and sunset events.
Ideal for:
• Corporate events & client entertainment
• Team celebrations & executive outings
• Weddings, engagements & proposals
• Birthdays & milestone celebrations
• Celebrations of life & private memorials
• Holiday cruises & special occasions
Every charter includes a licensed captain and five-star crew. Bar service is flexible — hosted open bar, tab bar, or cash bar — and catering is arranged through trusted preferred partners.
Unlike larger commercial vessels, Nerissa offers the privacy of a floating venue with the professionalism of a well-run event space. Boarding is at the Sheraton Hotel & Marina on Harbor Island — close to airport, downtown — with no docking fee. Pickup at the Marriott Marquis Marina or Coronado for a flat fee.
Family owned with over 20 years on San Diego Bay, Zolna Yachts is known for warm hospitality, transparent pricing, and smooth execution. For a yacht venue that feels exclusive, polished, and effortless, Nerissa delivers a memorable experience on the water.
