About Christopher

“Hi, I’m Christopher! I’ve spent 30 years teaching in Southern California, where I grew up surfing and loving the beach. After a motorcycle accident had me in a wheelchair for six months, I found a new passion in powerboating and wakeboarding. Now fully healed, I’m thrilled to share the joy of boating— and with over 100 five-star reviews, guests have loved the experience. Check them out and see why I offer a premium, top-rated adventure! When I’m not on the boat, you’ll often find me and my big, friendly dog Theo on the beach. If you see us, come say hi!”


Aboard since 2020

    Our experience renting a boat from Christopher was awesome. He was very responsive with our questions and requests, threw in a few things for free, was punctual, helpful and friendly. It was our first time renting a motorboat and we'd definitely do it again after a great afternoon kneeboading and waterskiing in the stadium in LB. 5 stars

    You could not want for more. Christopher is an honest, reliable and friendly owner who made the whole experience so pleasurable. The boat is exactly as described and was so much fun. I wouldn't hesitate to rent again or to recommend.

    Chris was awesome to deal with. He was very communicative and when we had a bit of a curveball thrown at us because of a closed dock he was quick to call and provide a new option.

    Christopher accommodated on short notice after a last minute cancellation. The boat was great. Awesome place to let the kids swim in the harbor and head out for some good boating around the area.

    Amazing boat for a nice ocean day. My boyfriend and I rented this boat for my birthday and were very happy with our choice. Christopher was very nice and he spent enough time to go over features of the boat. Many thanks to him for helping to make our trip smooth and easy.

    Wow. Renting from Chris was basically a perfect experience. He let me know everything in advance, explained the boat thoroughly on the day, and launched us out and help us back in with ease. Chris gave helpful recommendations, was easy-going, and his boat is INCREDIBLE and fun. I'll definitely be looking to rent again from him, I really couldn't ask for a better option on this site. Thank you Chris!!

    We just got back from a great day out on the water on Christopher's boat... the boat itself was great and such a fun ride... and Christopher was so friendly and helpful with everything... he even remembered to bring a child's life jacket for my son when I actually neglected to request one! I would highly recommend renting this great boat for a fun day out soaking up some Vitamin Sea!

    Chris was awesome. Very welcoming, friendly, and gave us a full rundown on what to expect while renting his boat. He ensured we felt comfortable operating / navigating through Long Beach and even hopped aboard before we took off to show us controls and any questions we had. The boat itself was very well-maintained and equipped with everything we needed to enjoy ourselves on the water. Definitely would recommend! Thanks for everything again, Chris!

    Christopher was on time, friendly, attentive, and responsive with any questions we had before and during the trip. He explained how to use the boat’s features, the use of all the safety equipment and the basics of navigating the local area.
    The boat was fully fueled, clean and in excellent shape and really enjoyable.
    Highly recommended! Thanks!

    We had the best time! Christopher was great to communicate with, and he was thorough and detailed when he showed us around the boat. The boat itself was super clean and has all of the required safety items. We rented for 6hrs which gave us enough time to head down the coast to mid-Orange County, have lunch on the water and check out a bit of Long Beach on the way back. It’s a day we won’t soon forget. We’d definitely rent from Christopher again!

    Christopher’s boat was super clean and easy to operate! He was patient and flexible with our arrival time and provided instructions that were easy to understand for operation. Chris went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time. We rented the boat for four hours in the evening and were not disappointed with the ease of operation, the space for seven adults, and the cool blue lights at night time!
    He communicated fast and efficiently either by text or phone call and we would absolutely rent again!

    We had a wonderful afternoon of boating. The boat was amazing. It is basically brand new (2019) and in immaculate condition. It handled beautifully. But the best part was working with Christopher. He really cared about us having a great time. He responded to our request immediately and communicated perfectly throughout the rental process. The boat was ready and on-time for our arrival. I highly recommend working with Christopher. You'll be more than pleased with your rental experience.

    Our boating experience with Chris was nothing less than phenomenal! Chris met our party early, gave us a brief but thorough thorough introduction to the boat, and gave us several great suggestions for how to make our day fun! Chris's background as a teacher was immediately apparent, as he patiently explained to us the proper safety precautions relevant to boating. Our experience on the water was amazing! The craft was powerful, yet easily maneurverable even by novices such as us. I was particularly impressed by how quiet the craft was, especially given the horsepower. The boat is also equipped with an excellect sound system with bluetooth connectivity, which really exhanced our experience. For the entire four hours, we had immense fun, both exploring the beautiful coastline and speeding across the open ocean. At the conclusion of our excursion, Chris met us punctually at the dock, and within a few minutes, we were headed back home.
    A true professional and a genuinely nice guy, Chris made a special effort to make my daughter's birthday boating experience memorable.. We can't wait for our next boating experience with Chris!

    We were a party of 8 and rented this boat for birthday celebrations. We had a fantastic time! Chris makes the process so smooth and easy for you! The boat was beautiful, well kept and ran well. We used the wake board and the tube and both were so fun! Chris was wonderful to work with. He gave a review of all safety guidelines and how to best operate the water sports and boat. I will for sure rent from Chris again and highly recommend using him and his boats to rent from!

    Chris was a great host , met us at the launch, walked us through everything, and also accompanied us on a quick run to make sure we were comfortable and knew how to use the boat. We had a great time with 2 couples and a 2 year old. Ocean wasn’t rough once we got out and the boat was fun and easy to operate.

    Honestly , BEST human I’ve dealt with period. It was my first time going out to Catalina island and Christopher was beyond helpful and patient with me. I accidentally mixed up my times and Christopher handles it very professional and well mannered and helped me out. Boat was great, smooth ! Amazing experience A+++
