O'Neill Yacht Charters

Great experience with the crew on a one-hour sail. One hour was plenty of time out on the ocean for our group of four.

There's a bar with canned and draft beer, wine, soft drinks and chips for purchase on board; it's a nice addition to a really nice catamaran that is very well maintained.

The crew pointed out the marine life we saw -- harbor porpoise, seal, otter -- and chatted with other guests on board; it's obvious they love what they do.

Overall it was a fabulous experience and we'd sign up again!

Went on the O'Neill this past Saturday and not only was the weather amazing in Santa Cruz, the boat was awesome!

We did the 2:30 departure from the harbor next to Crows Nest and it was a 1.5 hour trip but we almost got 2 hours which was cool and it was $45 each. There is a bar below, I'd be careful if you get seasick hanging at the bar too long it's pretty wavy but the crew is awesome and everyone had the best time .

I'm already looking into the next one as I want to go to the sunset cruise !

Thanks O'Neill for a great day!!

My brothers and I couldn't have asked for a better memorial for my mom who specifically asked to be placed along the coast by Seacliff Beach, what a wonderful experience. From the coordinators in the office to the yacht crew; communication on our wishes for our mom, coordinating with the crew and the attentiveness of the crew on the day of the sail were 5-star top notch. We did look around at other boats and this was by far the Best Boat (immaculate, gorgeous, very stable ride & all their amenities) at a good price. O'Neill Yacht Charters is the only one I will consider and recommend for such an important and memorial event.

Side Note: Beautifull biodegradable urns for spreading ashes at sea are available on Amazon.

Always a great time! Definitely recommend Wednesday evening with the sailboats! Beautiful!

This was an amazing sunset sail. My husband and I went as a date and were not disappointed. We got to sail on their new catamaran which was a huge treat. The staff was incredibly friendly and honestly I thought the price was extremely reasonable.

O'Neill handled my grandfathers final departure just yesterday, 5 star service from start to end! Unfortunately us not knowing when my grandpas ashes would be ready we had to reschedule a couple of times and they catered to us 100% the staff was amazing, the ride was amazing and my grandfathers send off was beautiful! We plan on coming back annually to celebrate my grandpa - did I mention they even give you the coordinates to your dearly departed? Amazing amazing experience crew and staff! We are grateful for having a company that genuinely cares about your dearly departed

My 5 Star experience first started with my interactions with Jenny from O'Neill Yacht Charters. She is, by far, the best communicator that I had the pleasure of speaking to when comparing to other boat charters on Yelp. She was knowledgeable, informative and quick to respond to all my inquiries.

As my wedding anniversary was approaching, I was looking to do various activities for my wife and I. She likes wine and I like boats. The Sunday charter included wine tasting from a local vendor while we sailed around Santa Cruz for a little under 2 hours. I booked my tickets online and signed all the waivers as well. Very easy and smooth transaction. The yacht itself was very clean and new.

The crew consisted of 3-4 members that were all very nice and informative. They made our cruise a fun and safe one. The local winery onboard were very hospitable and allowed us to enjoy some great wine while wind blows through our hair in the Pacific Ocean.

I can't recommend O'Neill Yacht Charters enough! They fulfilled every aspect of the package and will use them in the future for any of my boating needs.

We had our regional meeting in Santa Cruz and decided to try out the O'Neill Yacht charter. We were set up originally at 4:00 for an hour and half sail and our meeting wrapped up faster than we thought. I called and asked if they would be open to going earlier and they called back and surprisingly were able to accommodate us. Then we showed up rushing to make the 30 minutes before departure and they couldn't have been more accomandating and nice to our group. While on the boat the staff was extremely cool and always asked if we needed anything. I would highly recommend the O'Neil Yacht Charter.

Captain Steve, Bree and Nicholas made our sail perfect...we felt very safe, the catamaran is magnificent and so many lovely views.

Crew - very welcoming and very friendly
Sailboat - amazing, clean and easy to get around
Experience was relaxing, scenic and attentive.
Sail was very short and did not venture to far from harbor. But for the tix price, it was expected. Limited seating - but very nice.
GO TO OFFICE FIRST FOR PASSES. Then you can board. I would pay more $ for a longer experience.
