Congratulations!
Electra Cruises offers the most romantic boat weddings in Southern California. We want you to have the perfect boat marriage / boat reception – something you look back on with fondness.
Have you ever considered boat weddings for your special day?
Maybe you thought they were too expensive? Or maybe you thought they weren’t even an option? The good news is, they are. And, even more exciting, they don’t have to be expensive. Even better, you can have your wedding not just on any ordinary boat but, instead, celebrate your big day onboard a beautiful yacht. Yes, this is possible, even with a tight budget. We even offer all-inclusive wedding packages so you can cut down on costs. These packages include services such as flowers, photography, videography, entertainment, ministering services, catering, wedding cake services, and more. Plus, you don’t have to have all of these services; you can mix and match. Or, you can add on more. And, in case you’re wondering about boat safety, please know that all of our yachts are certified with the US Coast Guard; they passed all of the required safety measurements. And, on top of that, are wheelchair friendly. If you are especially worried about wheelchair access, know that one of our premier yachts, Eternity, has a wheelchair friendly elevator so that all of your guests have easy access to all three floors. That way, during your boat wedding, you can rest assured knowing that everyone is having fun.
Choose from one of our 25 themed wedding catering menu options. From our delicious Roman Holiday menu to our Hawaiian Luau menu, we assure you that our chefs only use the freshest of ingredients. Also, know that each of our yachts comes with a fully stocked bar. So, imagine toasting to the best day of your life with people you love on board a beautiful yacht overlooking the Pacific ocean. For more information about our all-inclusive wedding packages, please contact one of our experienced wedding planners for a free consultation. That way, you get all of your questions answered about your boat wedding, and can start planning right away.

Selecting the proper menu for your Electra Cruise event might just be as fun as the cruise itself.

Boat/Event Concerns?
If you have never attended an event on one of your yachts then you might have some boat related questions regarding your wedding day.
Q: Will I Get Sea Sick?
At Electra Cruises all of our events are held within the Harbor where the water is calm, there are no ocean waves in sight, and the yachts sail very slowly. Plus the yachts are simply too large to be affected by a wave!
Q: Are the Boats Child Friendly?
If the bride and groom have invited your kids we welcome them too! For the most part the yachts are fully enclosed and there are tall safety rails along the parameters of the outside decks. All 5 yachts are also equipped with child life vests as well.
Q: Is Their Enough Time?
Majority of our events are held in 4 hours. Unless you anticipate having a long ceremony it tends to be more than enough time. In that case we can always add more time! Just ask a representative!
Q: Is the Food Good?
Each of our yachts has a full galley head chef and kitchen staff who work diligently the day of your event to prepare your customized menu. Everything is prepared from scratch on the yacht itself according to your event so nothing is catered or will sit out for long periods of time.
Q: Is the Boat Spacious Enough?
Depending on the size of your party we can host a small intimate wedding for 20 or have all of your friends and relatives for a wedding of 300. The beauty of having a yacht wedding is having a designated deck for all of your festivities so you never feel crammed.
Q: Is the Boat Handicap Friendly?
While we have guests in wheelchairs almost weekly our largest yacht the Eternity has an elevator that reaches all 3 decks so no one has to miss a beat!
Q: What if Someone Needs to Leave the Boat?
Guests with young children or elderly tend to be concerned about not being able to leave if needed. Not only are there water taxis and gondolas who can take private parties back to the dock, there are medical water ambulances that can arrive at the yacht within seconds if there is an emergency.
Q: What if there is Wind or Rain?
Because our yachts are almost entirely enclosed the nature of your party will not be affected rain or shine. In fact photographers prefer overcast weather for your photos!
Q: What if there is Mechanical Breakdown?
Our service staff is also made up of knowledgeable experienced deckhands who are constantly doing engine room checks to prevent problems and ensure the yacht is running properly.
