Bubbly at Boarding, Then Brunch Afloat in Marina del Rey
A two-hour weekend brunch cruise out of Fisherman's Village, with a buffet, bottomless mimosas and live music on board.
Boarding opens at 10:30 AM at Fisherman's Village, and the listing promises a glass of bubbly as you step aboard. The boat leaves at 11:00 AM and is back at the dock at 1:00 PM.
In between comes a brunch buffet, unlimited mimosas, bubbly and sparkling cider, coffee and tea, and live entertainment. The listing names croissants, French toast and tortes on the buffet. Guests have also written about prime rib, tri-tip and the desserts.
This booking is for the 11:00 AM sailing, which the calendar sells on Saturdays and Sundays. Adults are 13 and up, children 4 to 12 have their own ticket, and one booking takes up to 30 travelers with at least one adult. The per-person price moves from weekend to weekend. Cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund; inside 24 hours there is none. Gratuities are not included.
City Cruises Los Angeles Brunch Cruise from Marina del ReyTwo-hour weekend brunch cruise from Fisherman's Village in Marina del Rey with a buffet, bottomless mimosas and live entertainment.www.viator.comTwo Hours Around Marina del Rey Harbor
The operator describes the views as Marina del Rey Harbor itself: the beaches, Burton W. Chace Park and the sea life. Guests who have reviewed the brunch over the years put it in plainer words. They describe a slow lap or two of the marina with yachts on every side, a look down the main channel toward the beach, and seals in the water on some days.
Several wished it ran longer or went farther. Book it for brunch with harbor scenery, not for a run out along the open coast. The slow pace is also what lets the buffet and the bubbly stay the center of the two hours.
Two Buffet Decks and an Open Top Deck
The food is a buffet, and guests describe it laid out across two decks; one put breakfast dishes on one and lunch on the other. One guest found the prime rib gone an hour in, so head to the line early if the carved meat is your reason for coming. Servers bring the bubbly and juices to the table, and reviewer after reviewer says glasses were topped up the whole way.
Above the dining rooms sits an open top deck with lounge seating, and guests have played cornhole and giant Jenga up there. One suggested bringing a hat for it. The entertainment changes by sailing: reviews mention a DJ, a guitarist playing jazz and oldies, and on one Sunday a mentalist.
Parking at Fisherman's Village
Park in the Fisherman's Village lot. The listing says it has electronic pay stations throughout that take card or cash, and one guest describes a choice between paying for one hour or four. Pay before you walk to the dock and cover the whole outing, the half hour of boarding plus two hours on the water. A guest reviewing in March 2026 saw someone getting a parking ticket on the way out.
Guests describe an easy walk to the boat and restrooms both on shore and on board. A guest whose group included two cane users called boarding easy, and a guest who uses a walker wrote that crew helped with boarding and the stairs between decks.
Board at 10:30 AM, Because the Boat Leaves on Time
Boarding begins 30 minutes before the 11:00 AM departure. The listing warns that late arrivals will likely miss the boat. Guests describe an easy check-in on the dock and a departure right on the hour, and boarding at 10:30 AM simply means more time with the first glass.
Birthdays, anniversaries and groups of friends come up again and again in the reviews, and guests describe dancing to the music. A guest who doesn't drink felt the morning was built around free-flowing alcohol and a party mood. Sparkling cider is on the included list for anyone skipping alcohol.
