About

Unforgettable Yacht Weddings on San Francisco Bay

Celebrate your love aboard Hotel California, a stunning 92-foot luxury yacht offering one of the most unique and romantic wedding experiences in San Francisco. With the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco skyline, Alcatraz, Angel Island, and sparkling waters of the Bay as your backdrop, your wedding becomes an experience you and your guests will never forget.

We specialize in intimate yacht weddings, micro weddings, elopements, engagements, proposals, anniversaries, and wedding celebrations designed around each couple. Rather than choosing a traditional venue, you can exchange vows while cruising San Francisco Bay, toast with champagne beneath the Golden Gate Bridge, enjoy a private chef dinner at sunset, and capture extraordinary wedding photographs from locations only accessible by boat.

Every wedding aboard Hotel California is personalized. Our team can help coordinate professional photography, floral arrangements, champagne and wine service, private chefs and catering, wedding cakes, live music, décor, and other special touches. Couples can even choose to have the yacht's Captain officiate their ceremony, creating a memorable maritime wedding experience.

For couples dreaming of a larger celebration, we can also create a unique yacht-and-yacht-club wedding experience. The couple can marry aboard Hotel California with an intimate group while the ceremony is streamed live to additional guests at the yacht club. Following the ceremony, arrive at the reception aboard the yacht for an unforgettable grand entrance.

Whether you're planning an elegant San Francisco yacht wedding, an intimate micro wedding, a romantic proposal, or a luxury wedding celebration on the Bay, our goal is simple: to create a completely private, highly personalized experience that feels unlike any traditional wedding venue.

Your wedding. Your yacht. San Francisco Bay as your backdrop.
