THE NORTHWIND EXPERIENCE
Craft cocktails, curated bites, and golden-hour harbor views aboard a beautifully restored 1930s yacht.
THE EXPERIENCE
It begins the moment you step aboard.
Settle in with a craft cocktail and curated bites, then find your place — along the rail, beneath the open sky, or tucked into an intimate corner of the deck. As the harbor glows, wander deck by deck and discover the character of this nearly century-old vessel.
Northwind Sunset Experience
Thursday - Saturday · 3:00–10:00 PM
Golden-hour cocktails, curated bites, music, and relaxed social energy as the sun sets over the harbor.
Northwind Brunch Experience
Sunday · 11:00 AM–4:00 PM
A daytime escape with coastal bites, morning cocktails, and easy harbor views across the open decks.
Built in 1930, this storied yacht once carried distinguished guests across distant waters. Today she is proudly moored in Marina del Rey — inviting a new generation aboard to gather, celebrate, and take in one of the harbor's most beautiful views.
Nearly a century on the water.
