A prime sunset slot just dropped for this coming Saturday, May 24.

Think: smooth sailing from about 5:30 to 8:30 PM, golden light, open water, good vibes.

Book anytime after 5PM—it’s a private charter, not a ticketed event.

Live music onboard? Maybe… if you move fast.

DM us to claim your cruise before it’s gone.

Mothers are the anchor to any family.

They keep us grounded, and don’t let us drift too far off course.

This mother’s day, return the favor with a charter that lets her truly unwind, we still have some spots left (but they’re going fast!)

From our family to yours, happy mother’s day!

📍 We hit the spot with SITE Socal!

SITE Socal, a leading group in the incentive travel industry, had a grand time aboard the Nerissa as part of their Educational Luncheon experience held at the Sheraton Hotel. Even if the weather wasn’t the warmest, the camaraderie among these professionals sure was.

Our Story

Zolna Yachts is a unique company specializing in private yacht charters on the San Diego Bay. I’m Shari Zolna and my husband and business partner is Amos Zolna. We have revolutionized the way San Diego visitors and locals alike look at chartering yachts. It is with pleasure that we provide a truly unique and wonderful way for all our guests to experience yachting. We’re proud to be San Diego's most exciting yacht charter company since 2007, offering extraordinary venues for corporate meetings and private celebrations aboard motor yachts with unparalleled customer service.

Amos and I moved from New York City to San Diego in 1995. We have a beautiful daughter, Annabelle, who has become a fantastic First Mate and crews on many of our charters whenever she’s home from college up at UCSB. We have a rescued German Shepherd, coincidentally named “Bella” whom we still foster after having successfully found “fur-ever” homes for her 10 gorgeous pups.

We instantly fell in love with everything this magnificent city has to offer. It was simply a pleasure getting used to San Diego’s great year round climate, and we were especially drawn to it’s unique coastal way of life. After many years of owning vacation rental properties on the island of Maui, Amos came up with the crazy idea to combine our knowledge of the vacation rental business with our passion for boating. And so we did. In March of 2007, we opened Zolna Yachts, a unique San Diego business offering lodging, which is now available aboard a sweet Houseboat. Soon after they added to their resumes USCG OUPV Captains. Amos runs the 12 passenger yachts but I still prefer to be “Cruise Director” aboard the Nerissa motor yacht, channeling my inner Julie from the 1970’s Love Boat :)

Zolna Yachts offers customers stunning privately owned yachts for charter. We’ve become the go-to company in San Diego for private charters for up to 49 passengers, being recommended by the San Diego Concierge Association, Destination Management companies, hotel sales teams and a network of businesses all over Southern California. Many of Zolna’s five star customer reviews can be seen on their website, Yelp, Trip Advisor, Google Business, Facebook, VRBO and many other travel and social media sites.
