Why Kai Charters
A Private Long Beach Boat Charter With Room for the People You Actually Want There.
Most local private-charter options stop around six guests. Cocokai carries up to 12, with a spacious deck that feels like part of the experience instead of a place to squeeze everyone in.
Room to roam
Bring up to 12 guests on a 75-foot sailing vessel with genuine deck space, more room than most Long Beach sailboat rentals allow.
Always private
This is a private sunset cruise for your group only, never a shared public cruise or a boat full of strangers.
No fuel surcharge
Sailing keeps the pricing simpler than motor-yacht charters that add variable fuel charges to the boat rate.
Quiet, serene sailing
Wind, water, conversation, and a friendly crew make this Long Beach sunset sail a slower, more memorable way to spend golden hour.
