Frequently Asked Questions
Are these good for bachelorette parties and birthdays?
Absolutely. Most of our charters are celebrations, and La Ondina is perfectly set up for bachelorette parties, birthdays, and other special moments with friends and family.
How many guests can join?
At 50 feet, La Ondina comfortably accommodates up to 13 guests plus crew, including a licensed captain and first mate. The layout offers plenty of space to relax, socialize, and enjoy the day together.
What amenities does the boat have?
La Ondina is designed for comfort, space, and fun. The yacht features a full onboard bathroom with a shower, sink, and private head, a private bedroom with a queen bed, and a comfortable lower lounge for relaxing indoors. Upstairs, the semi-enclosed upper lounge offers another great space to enjoy the day while staying connected to the action. Multiple outdoor seating areas and sun pads give your group plenty of room to spread out, and stand-up paddle boards and water toys are available upon request, conditions permitting.
Can we play our own music?
Yes. La Ondina features a premium onboard sound system with 16 speakers, delivering clear, powerful audio throughout every area of the yacht — from the lounge spaces to the sun pads. You can connect your playlist and enjoy great sound wherever your group is hanging out, making it easy to set the vibe for the entire day.
What is included in a charter?
Your charter includes a licensed captain and crew, coolers with ice, a restroom onboard, multiple lounge and seating areas, sun pads, and three refrigerators for drinks. You’re welcome to bring your own food and beverages, and we can also help arrange charcuterie boards or light catering in advance. When conditions allow, enjoy stand-up paddle boards and floating loungers for time in the water — all set up for a relaxed, fun day with your group.
What is NOT included in a charter?
Crew fees and fuel are not included in the charter price. Crew fees are paid separately at the dock at a rate of $150 per hour, and fuel is billed after the trip is complete.
Gratuity is also not included. For great service and a memorable day on the water, 15–20% of the booking fee is customary and always appreciated by the captain and crew.
Do we have to book online, or can we contact you directly?
You’re welcome to book online for the fastest confirmation, but you can also call or message us directly if you have questions, special requests, or want help planning your day. Our team is happy to walk you through options, availability, and details to make sure everything is just right for your group.
What happens after I book?
Once your booking is submitted, our team will reach out to confirm the details and make sure everything is set for your day. We’ll send the charter agreement and waivers for your group to review and sign in advance. As your charter approaches, we’ll check in the day prior to confirm final details like timing, meeting location, and any last requests so everything runs smoothly.
