The Double Dolphin
The view is better from the water! Our 50 ft sailing Catamaran, The Double Dolphin, casts off almost daily for coastal cruises, Music on the Water cruises, and more. Her 1400 square feet of deck space and dual-hull construction make her comfortable, stable, and safe.
With a 49 passenger capacity, we have plenty of room for a large party. On board, you will find wine, beer, champagne, water, sodas, and gourmet snacks. There are two restrooms for your convenience.
Come and enjoy America’s Riviera while sailing alongside an entourage of sea lions, dolphins, whales, and birds. It’s a sensational sea story you will tell again and again.

The Charterer/Renter will be held liable for the full value of the vessel should anything happen to the boat, as well as loss of income.
