A little overdue, but I had to share what a wonderful experience we had with Zolna Yachts for a pre-wedding celebration! From start to finish, everything was amazing. Shari and her crew were absolutely incredible—so welcoming, accommodating, and attentive to making sure everyone had the best time. You can truly tell they care about creating a memorable experience for their guests.

We had such a great time on the water and couldn’t have asked for a better crew. I would 100% recommend Zolna Yachts to anyone looking to charter in San Diego, and I would absolutely book with them again! Thank you, Shari and crew, for such an unforgettable experience! 🤍✨

Amos and Shari’s Nerissa is a wonderful yacht for a special day on San Diego Bay. We chartered Nerissa to honor my mom’s final wishes and spread her ashes at sea. Amos, Shari, and their crew made the entire experience effortless and meaningful for us and our 25 closest family members and friends. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made a very emotional occasion truly special. It was a first-class experience from beginning to end, and I would highly recommend Nerissa to anyone looking for a memorable and beautifully handled charter.

Had the most amazing time aboard the Nerissa! 🤍 We hosted our wedding reception with Zolna Yachts, and it truly was the perfect way to celebrate!

We had 49 people aboard—the max capacity—and it never felt too crowded. Everyone fit comfortably, and it made our smaller wedding feel like one big party!  The captain & crew were amazing and took us to some of the most beautiful spots around San Diego.

We’ll forever be thankful for such a special experience and will absolutely be back for another event in the future. Thank you, Zolna Yachts, for your hospitality, help, support, and kindness. You helped make our wedding night unforgettable! 🤍

We had an amazing experience on your yacht! My dad, Chief, booked for his and my mom‘s 55th wedding anniversary. It was a great time on the boat and your staff was amazing! Corey, Arnie, and Cameron were so gracious and so fun to chat with! My mom loved her surprise and we were all impressed by the service and the loveliness of your boat! Thank you so much for helping make my parents anniversary surprise a success! We definitely hope to book another outing with you all soon! And we will definitely refer your company to anyone we know!
Thank you so much and God bless you all! Sincerely, the Arizona Rios and Canepa clan

I chartered Nerissa with 30 people for my birthday party.  The yacht was very spacious and our hosts took great care of us! Thank you for a great experience.  Until next time 🥂

LOVE ZOLNA YACHTS!!!!! Amos & Shari were so accommodating and kind from the moment we met them! My friends and I were fortunate to experience the Zolna Yacht for my 40th birthday party. The ride was smooth and so beautiful!! All of my guests had an incredible time dancing and enjoying the scenery. The crew was fun, compassionate, and so helpful! It was the most magical evening, where we all felt taken care of and I hope to do it again!

We had an absolute incredible time. The staff was awesome, very accommodating and professional. The captain was very accommodating to let people in the cabin for photos and a seat at the wheel, which was very special.
The food was over the top Delicious.
The bartender provided great music for the kids to dance and awesome drinks.
Dolphins, seals, walruses ,battleships, cruising Coronado and the Navy Yard, the star of India and the spectacular cruise along downtown San Diego.
The Captain was great with all the kids.
Having 31 family members on board this spacious luxury yacht will be a memory we will all share the rest of our lives.
Was a very special night for all of us. Look forward to the next trip thank you.

Shari made the planning simple and thorough.  The crew executed the plan flawlessly, with lively banter and fit right in with our guests.  We had no experience chartering a yacht and Nerissa was the ideal place for my 80th birthday sunset cocktail cruise.

We hosted a full, 49-person day party for July 4 and could not have asked for a better experience! Shari and her team were easy to coordinate with and provided us with exceptional service. We will be booking with them again!

They don't tell you beforehand that they make you remove your shoes when you board or that they want to take your purse/bag off of your person and "store it".  There are no straws or red wine on board so if you can't have cold items, plan on staying sober.  The crew was a little condescending, which I found funny because it's not the nicest yacht you've ever seen.  It's pretty mid.

80th Birthday Bash.  We had 35 friends abouard for two hour susnset cruise.  The cocktails were fab, my special wine at the ready, and the service unparalleled.  I had never done anything like this before but Shari guided mea all the way.  Clear instructions, easy communication, crew sensational.  Even set up a play list tailored to a boat load of old farts!!  I wanted a birthday that didn't require anything of me except have fun!!  This was it!!

Yesterday, Zolna yachts/ specifically, Narissa, decided it was a good idea to take a shortcut through the mooring field next to the Coronado bridge. This isn't a normal thorough fare. It is also a no wake zone!
They came in hot, doing at least 10 to 12 kn throwing a large wake.(Unfortunately, we were too busy holding on to get photos or video as they came through the first time)

We were working on our center console on our mooring. My wife was on top of the T-Top and had to hold on for dear life.
There was a woman at the helm. We waved to them, yelled to them, and even honk the horn to no avail. They didn't slow down. An hour maybe two later they did the same return pattern cutting through the middle of the mooring field. This time there was a man at the helm and they were going a little slower. 
Total disregard for common courtesy. As a side note, I'm a professional captain with 30 years experience.

Annabelle was a 6/5 rockstar. Whole trip was fun but she was the highlight by far. Will book again as long as she is there.

This is my third time booking with Zolna Yachts and I can't recommend them enough! Shari & Amos are very pleasant to work with and very accommodating. Communication was easy and fast. As someone who gets overwhelmed booking large events, I've ALWAYS had such a smooth experience working with them. 

The yacht is gorgeous, large, spacious, all of the above. My guests are always very impressed! Definitely my go to yacht company and I recommend this business to all my friends and family.

So the wife told me her 70th birthday was "VERY important". I decided to book a "private yacht sunset dinner cruise for 'the family'". I got a referral for Zolna Yachts Nerissa and went for it. OMG! I could not have DREAMED of a better result. Shari was welcoming, reassuring, holding my hand while I fretted the weather, and then delivering the surprise experience I had only hoped for, The yacht was the perfect venue, the crew was welcoming and helpful, above and beyond my expectations. The cruise was well timed and executed to allow us the PERFECT sunset. Our guests who had traveled from the East Coast, the South, and the Pacific Northwest were awed by the views the Nerissa offered throughout the evening.

My wife was literally blown away.  I too, was so impressed by the most perfect experience Zolna's Nerissa gave us. The carefully directed cruise, the quiet live music, the extraordinary catering (review of 'Flavor Chef' to follow) made this event something all of our guests from every corner of the US, saw as an event to remember.

If you are planning an event of any kind, DO look to Zolna Yachts Nerissa. The boat is (trite) beautiful. The crew is welcoming. The experience is nothing short of perfect.

Thank you Shari

And oh, BTW, the wife is still talking to me!!

We hosted a leadership day for our top salespeople and corporate team members. Zolna Yachts was very responsive, reasonably priced, and ultimately one of the classiest feeling events we've ever hosted. 

They had multiple catering options, and we chose a charcuterie board that was incredibly seamless, beautiful, and delicious! 

The crew was amazing. Captain Cory, Lauren, Cam, and our bartender Arnold were all dialed in and attentive to anything we needed. They were also friendly, fun, and made our trip that much more enjoyable! 

Shari and Amos, the owners, were very good about communicating ahead of time and were very easy to work with. 

So grateful for our experience, and definitely hoping to run more events like this in the future!
