THE NORTHWIND EXPERIENCE
Cocktails, curated bites, and harbor views aboard a beautifully restored 1930s yacht.
Meet the Northwind
Built in 1930, this nearly century-old yacht once carried distinguished guests and stories 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.
Step Aboard
The Northwind Experience begins the moment guests step aboard this beautifully restored 1930s yacht.
Guests settle in with craft cocktails and curated bites, finding their perfect place to lounge—along the rail, beneath the open sky, or tucked into an intimate corner of the deck. As the harbor glows and the evening unfolds, guests are invited to wander deck by deck, discovering the character and history of this nearly century-old vessel while enjoying panoramic marina views.
Sunset Sessions | Friday & Saturday | 3:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Golden hour cocktails, curated bites, music, and relaxed social energy as the sun sets over the harbor.
Brunch on the Water | Sunday | 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM, Bar Open Until 6:00 PM
Daytime escape with coastal bites, morning cocktails, and easy harbor views across the yacht’s open decks.
