    Max was great! Everything went as planned and discussed. Max had the boat ready to go for us and really helped make the most of our trip. We wanted to get some post wedding photos on the boat for sunset. He gave great recommendations and really helped as much as he could.
    Highly recommend Max!

    Our trip with Max was so much fun! It was very easy to communicate with him beforehand and he answered all our questions. He was super chill on the boat and chatted with us during our ride. We had such a great day and would definitely go out again. Thanks Captain!

    I had an amazing time with captain Max. He accommodated us last minute. My friends and I had a blast. Thanks again Max. Next time I'm in Long Beach I'll look you up.

    I could not recommend this experience enough!! Max is a wonderful, knowledgeable captain who made our time on the water so fun. The boat was beautiful and very well maintained. I will absolutely book with him again in the future!

    Captain Max was great! I took my girlfriend out out propose (she said yes) and it was a nice boat ride with beautiful views. Max made a little area in the front for us to sit and hang out and was good about taking plenty of pictures. He was also a team player in meeting up with my friends a little before to set up the surprise. 10/10

    Max is such a nice guy, and his sailboat is so cute and well-maintained! We had a delightful time, as I took my wife sailing for the first time for our wedding anniversary, and we brought our toddler, too! We all had a wonderful time and we look forward to the next one.

    Max was friendly and the experience was not only relaxing, but educational. I got to be at the helm for most of the trip. It was exhilarating. We saw sunning sea lions and all kinds of birds. The weather was perfect and the company was kind. I highly recommend this adventure!

    BOOK THIS RIGHT NOW! Captain Max gave us the absolute best experience on the water. Such a fantastic guide and even better conversation. He was so versatile with our schedule and provided numerous options to fit our plans. My dad is sensitive to the sun and Max put our worries aside and showed us the inside cabin before we got there (Even offered sunscreen!!!) I’m not from California, but I’m already counting down the days until we can go back and visit Bushman’s Friend! Thanks for your generous hospitality and offering a Polaroid afterword. 10/10 Experience.

    Booked Max for the day as a surprise birthday gift for my boyfriend, needless to say we had the best time and Max helped make our day as perfect as possible! We both had so much fun cruising around on Max’s boat and could not recommend him more. He thinks of EVERY little thing you could possibly need while travelling with him (phone charger, bottle opener etc) and took the cutest Polaroid as a memento for us. Best boat in town!!! We hope to sail with him again soon.

    Max was amazing! His boat was very clean and beautiful he was very kind and open to conversation Max made sure that we were as comfortable and safe as possible and made sure we understood we were safe and had life jackets in case of emergency. He made sure we had the best experience showing us as much wild life as possible and giving us information about himself as well as asking questions about us. Max was very genuine and had a great vibe. I would 100% give Max another visit in the future! It was all worth it and his boat is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

    For my birthday, five of my friends and I decided to book a 2 hour trip with Max and it was the best decision! He was punctual, knowledgable, and made sure we were safe too. He had a giant bluetooth speaker too, so we were able to dance as we sailed off into the sunset. A great experience that we'll definitely book again with him!

    I'd highly recommend Max for anyone looking to enjoy a sailboat experience.

    Max was timely, responsive, and flexible in all regards, making the logistics and execution of the outing enjoyable and easy.

    In addition to the clean and amazing boat, Max brought with him a pleasant and upbeat attitude which paired perfectly with his expert knowledge of sailboating and the general Long Beach area.

    I personally did a morning trip with my girlfriend for her birthday and Max went out of his way to make sure she had a fun and memorable experience with a "Happy Birthday" sign and pleasant Instagram-worthy moments..

    The trip itself was calming and the perfect way to start the morning. Max was safe and the perfect captain. Thanks Max!

    What a great sunset sail in Long Beach! Was treating some friends that live in New Mexico (landlocked) to the Pacific Ocean. The sailboating was magical. Capt Marco was an excellent host and good company. Would definitely do this again!

    Mark and Marco were welcoming, knowledgeable and tailored the trip to meet our needs. We will definitely book again when back in the area and would highly recommend them to our friends.

I have served as the director of Leeway Sailing Center for ten years and have seasons of Lido 14's and Catalina 37' sailboat races under my belt. Additionally, I helped crew on the first-place vessel, a Santa Cruz 70', in the Newport to Ensenada race in 2015. So I can certainly keep the vessel afloat! hah! This experience isn't about me though, its about getting you and your partner or group on the water for some fun or relaxation. Having traveled around the world, I have experienced incredible hospitality and do my best to pay it back by providing great outings to those who join me for a cruise. I strive for passengers to walk away from the charter truly feeling as though I am "their friend with a boat"! When I am not sailing, I can be found surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding, and traveling aboard.

Location and Destination Guide

Usually this boat operates around Long Beach, CA.

It’s big, bold and very glitzy. Los Angeles is probably one of the world’s most glamorous and vibrant cities, making it both enthralling and exhausting. But with the ocean right there on the doorstep, to get on Marina Del Rey boat rental is a thrilling way to recharge those batteries and enjoy a whole other side to LA LA Land.
