Flexible Bareboat Charter Options for Larger Groups Seeking a Private Dolphin Cruise Experience


For groups larger than six passengers, our bareboat charter option provides the perfect solution for a private and personalized cruise experience. To ensure full compliance with Coast Guard regulations, guests are responsible for arranging a qualified captain to pilot the vessel. We have simplified this process by partnering with a list of pre-approved local captains who are available to be hired for your trip, ensuring that safety and professional standards are maintained throughout your time on the water.


The bareboat arrangement offers significant flexibility, allowing larger parties to enjoy the beauty of the Santa Barbara Channel without compromising on comfort or safety. Once your cruise is confirmed, the captain is secured in advance, and a formal bareboat contract is signed. This contract is essential for meeting insurance requirements and adhering to the rules set forth by LA County Beaches and Harbors, providing peace of mind for all guests on board as they prepare for their journey.


Safety is the foundation of every charter, and our commitment to these regulations ensures a smooth and enjoyable outing. By clearly outlining legal responsibilities and insurance coverage, we provide a secure framework for your group to explore the ocean. Whether you are planning a special celebration or a corporate outing, the bareboat option allows you to customize your itinerary while relying on the expertise of a professional captain who knows the local waters and wildlife migration patterns.


Experience the thrill of spotting dolphins and other marine life in their natural environment with the freedom of a private vessel. The combination of a qualified captain and a well-maintained boat ensures that your group can focus on the sights and sounds of the Pacific. With all legal and safety details handled, you are free to relax and enjoy the unique opportunity to witness the biodiversity of the California coast in a private, exclusive setting.

This tour was so much fun—and interesting and informative. We highly recommend it. Don’t let the weather intimidate you. It changes every few minutes—and Conor ensures you’re dressed appropriately. Being on the water and hearing stories and seeing rainbows, harbor porpoises, sea birds, coastal mansions, Dalkey Island, and more, provided a totally different perspective. See Dublin on a Goat Boat Tour with Conor!

This is a magical tour around Dalkey Island and the nearby coastline. It's really exciting when the boat gets up to speed outside the harbour, but the quiet parts are wonderful too. Great stories from a friendly local guide, loads of wildlife and a fascinating look at a lot of the coastal features you'll know from the land side if you live around here. One of the parts I found most interesting was seeing all the private access points into the sea that a lot of the properties around Dalkey and Killiney have. Either wrap up warmly before you arrive or take one of the cosy jackets they provide to protect you from the sea breeze. Overall, a brilliant tour. Highly recommended!

Yessss! It was a fantastic adventure!!! Even though the waves were quite “choppy” and the boat rocked and jumped, we felt very safe. We heard interesting stories about the Muglins. We saw a small castle that the king built for partying. We saw seals. And people crowding on the beaches and swimming spots. It was the best thing to do on a hottest day! We saw the Edge’s new house he bought to turn into a studio on the coast. We saw plenty of interesting sea birds, including the gannets. I am living locally and never saw the coast from this perspective. But my guests came from Poland and this was their favourite part of the trip!!! Thank you Lads!
