Went on a sunset cruise with a group of friends on an incredible Winter So Cal afternoon that did not disappoint. Valter and his wife Nicole were super accommodating and lived up to the hostess with the mostest saying. First, the catamaran is a beautiful 42ft vessel that had clean bathrooms, a big hang out area in the galley if you get cold, a nice outdoor lounge area on the back of the catamaran where we spent a lot of time living life to the fullest. The front of the catamaran has two nets where you can literally look down into the clear blue sea, take in that salty air and if you are lucky like we were you can take view dolphins swimming right underneath us. Our 3 hour cruise ended with a gorgeous sunset that wrapped an afternoon we will never forget. Thank you Valter & Nicole for making our experience first class. Can’t wait to tell all our friends and come back for another voyage. Maybe Catalina next time!

Mark Montano / Orange County, California

My family wanted to do something unique while in Los Angeles celebrating a birthday. We decided on a yacht cruise with LEI Charters… turned out to be the best decision ever. The boat was fantastic, perfectly prepared for the occasion and the customer service was above board. The Captain and his support team were very informative and helpful - phenomenal! We had adults and children, the Captain took the time to make sure the children were educated on the safety features in a fun and exciting way - putting all us adults at ease. I can’t wait to do it again.

Mimi Hocking / Sacramento, California

We chartered LEI for a sunset cruise with Captain Valter and we could not have asked for a better experience. The boat was clean, beautiful and had plenty of room to roam around. No detail was overlooked and we were provided with an amazing experience that we will truly never forget. I am already booking my next charter.

We charted their brand new 46' catamaran Lynn St. Clair for our honeymoon in Malibu! This boat was a DREAM! It was stunning, in perfect condition, exceptionally clean and comfortable and had all the amenities a boat could have - and then more! We were able to hook our music up into their speaker system and listen to our fave playlists while sailing on the water, we even brought Battleship and played a round of it while sitting on the bow. We brought snacks on board and drinks and truly had the greatest time. Valter and his crew were so nice to us, and helped with every single thing all day long. We got an impressive boat tour, were able to feel confident with how we utilized the vessel and couldn't get over how luxurious everything felt. Unfortunately the water was a little cold that day so the wind was chilly - but they had tons of blankets for us and a heater inside that made us perfectly comfortable and happy. They had everything we needed! We really want to come back out - this time with a big group of family - and do this again! Such a memory!! Thank you!!!!

If you're looking for an incredible and unique experience in our own backyard look no further than LEI Boat Charters. It was one of our favorite afternoons ever! Julien and Melanie (our captain and first mate) were world class with their service and hospitality. We CANNOT wait to book our next charter which will be VERY soon.

If I could give this charter more stars I would. I have been out on different boat charters before and this has to be my favorite. We went out as a company for a 3 hour trip and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The captain and crew were very kind and fun hosts. I felt safe and at ease with them. The boat was extremely clean and there were so many places to sit as well as blankets if it got chilly. We brought snacks and wine they opened and served it which was a great touch I wasn’t expecting. I loved sitting down on the net close to the water. There were so many different spots to sit and lay. We also saw some wildlife which was great! The trip felt relaxing and luxurious. I was so lucky to be treated on this outing by my company but I’m already dreaming up a way to do it again with a group of friends for a chill day out.

You know there's an opportunity. You just don't know how to unlock it. We do.

Meet the LEI Team

VF Valter Captain & Operations Director Italian immigrant, captain, and dock master with 16 years at the marina.

He leads all on-water assessments, licensing guidance, and brings professional video production to every client listing. N Nicole Sales & Booking Director The business brain behind LEI Boat Charter. Nicole manages all bookings, pricing strategy, and client acquisition — and keeps LEI's fleet fully booked season after season. She built the sales system from scratch and now teaches those exact frameworks to every program client.
