Frequently Asked Questions


Who stays aboard on the yacht?

Only the registered guests. The owners, captain, or crew will be present only for charters and parties.

Is there air conditioning on the yacht?

Yes, the yacht is equipped with air conditioning and heat. However, we rarely need to use either with the beautiful cross breeze over the marina and the perfect year round San Diego weather.

Do we need to bring any linens or towels?

No. We are fully equipped with top of the line Charter Club towels and bed linens. We also keep some beach towels aboard that our guests may borrow.

Can we cook on the yacht?

Yes, however, the space is limited. There is a 2 burner stove, microwave/convection oven, smaller refrigerator/freezer, and a separate ice maker. We have a coffee maker, tea pot, pots and pans, and a full set of silverware and plastic glassware.

When we stay aboard overnight, are we docked?

Yes, unless we do a special over night charter away from the marina, the yacht remains dockside.

Do all registered guests have to be present at time of check in?

Yes, since this is a yacht, not your typical condo or hotel room, we need to show everyone, all at the same time, how to “live” aboard a yacht. Since the owner’s make a special trip to the marina to check all the guests in, we need everyone present at the same time. If you are on different flights, or have a special circumstance that doesn’t allow all of you to be available for check-in at the same time, you will need to make special arrangements with the owner at least 48 hours in advance of arrival.

Can I ask my friends or family to stop by the yacht for a visit?

Only with the owner’s written permission, or an agreement with the owner’s to be present when your visitors arrive. Any people that do not have permission to be on the private dock or on the yacht will be considered trespassers. This would be a violation of our agreement and a violation by law.

Can I drive the yacht?

Sorry no, only licensed and approved captains are allowed to drive our yachts. There are no power boats over 26 feet that can be rented to the public without a captain’s license.

What makes the Ohana Pacific different?

The Ohana Pacific is a family owned "Boat and Breakfast", or sometimes known as a "six-pack charter". We can accommodate up to 6 overnight guests and smaller more intimate charters. Our pricing is the most affordable when you compare ours to any yacht charters on this coast.
