Ride in Style - 5 Things to Do on a Crown Yacht Cruise
Whether you’re looking to celebrate a special occasion or for a unique way to enjoy the Southern California sunshine, a Crown Yacht Cruise is the ultimate way to ride in style.
Book a Crown Yacht Cruise and step aboard the Black Cat — the brand new Samana 59 sailing yacht and the first and only of its kind in North America. This tri-level, double-hull vessel is over 60 feet long of stylish luxury and delivers the ultimate cruising experience.
Top 5 Crown Yacht Cruise Experiences:
1. Whale Watching
Book a private whale and wildlife watching tour and get a glimpse of some of nature’s most majestic creatures. Southern California’s waters see thousands of whales yearly and on any given day you may see multiple species including gray, blue and humpback whales, as well as orcas and dolphins. Adventure is waiting, take a Long Beach Whale Watching excursion.
2. Celebrate Special Occasions
Celebrate life’s milestones with a luxurious chartered cruise. From launch parties to birthday parties, holiday celebrations, marriage proposals, and weddings, the Black Cat is the perfect place to host your next event.
Looking for a one-of-a-kind gift idea for the one you love? Plan the perfect romantic getaway — spend the whole day on the water and catch your partner by surprise with a sunset proposal or prepare an intimate meal with a private chef.
Bring the energy by grooving to the perfect playlist, courtesy of Crown Yacht DJ’s, playing throughout the boat on Bluetooth speakers. Hire a bartender, a great addition to any cruise whether you’re looking for a mixologist or someone who knows how to pour with flair.
Host an intimate, outdoor wedding and embrace the serenity of the sea surrounded by your loved ones. Crown Yachts even has decorators and event planners on hand to take the stress out of your big day while setting the scene for your dream event. Imagine how epic the pictures will be during sunset with the lights glimmering on the surface of the Pacific.
3. A Unique Way to Sightsee
Skip the long lines and tour buses of traditional land tours and plan an Intimate adventure with friends and family while lounging on the Black Cat. Harbor cruises typically last anywhere from 4 to 8 hours and locations include Santa Monica, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, and, of course, our very own Long Beach. Enjoy a leisurely sightseeing experience with the wind in your hair. Choose from one of four lounge areas or relax on one of the foredeck trampolines. With photo opportunities galore, don’t forget to bring your camera to capture the memories showcasing the blue waters and amazing scenic views in the background.
4. Business Meetings
Plan your next business meeting aboard the Black Cat and wow potential investors with a glamorous backdrop in the lounge. Your colleagues will feel relaxed in this casual environment with plenty of seating and you can use the luxurious lounge areas as well as full saloon to impress your clients and win the contract. State of the art technology including the Black Cat’s dropdown monitor and Bluetooth sound system make it easy to lead presentations and video demonstrations. And if you want to create an even more high-end experience, consider adding on one of their personal chefs or bartenders.
5. Day Trip to Catalina Island
Enjoy a sunny morning sail to one of the island’s popular dive sites. Disembark and head to the Descanso Canyon for plenty of shopping, luxurious spas, and fine dining. End the night by grabbing a cocktail at one of the island’s popular beach clubs. The yacht is equipped with four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and a full kitchen so you can book your excursion for a full day or an overnight cruise.
