The Duchess is a 63' McKinna motor yacht built for both relaxation and performance. She features three spacious staterooms, two full bathrooms with showers, a full galley with Sub-Zero appliances, a wine fridge, and a grill on the cockpit. The flybridge offers extra space for lounging with a wet bar and additional refrigerator, while the saloon and dining areas provide a refined place to relax between catches.

Trips are all-inclusive—just bring a fishing license for anyone over 16 (under $20, available online).
All trips will require a 50% deposit paid to the charter operator to complete the reservation.
At that time, boarding instructions will be forwarded, and the remaining balance can be paid on board by credit card, debit card, or cash.
Luxury, adventure, and world-class fishing—all aboard The Duchess.

Benjamin KadlecRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAwesome Afternoon with the Dutchess and Crew
Half Day Trip (PM) on November 28, 2025 • 6 adults • 2 childrenI have been on dozens of fishing charters and this one has been without a doubt one of the best. We had 4 adults and two teens with various experience on the water and fishing. First the Crew is top notch, local, super friendly and hard working with a smile. I communicated that our goal was to have fun and catch fish (not necessarily going after yellow fin, etc), and boy did we catch a lot of rock fish. My son caught 36 in about 2.5 hours. Second the boat is great and super comfortable. We were going out in late November.. while we had perfect weather, if we hadn’t… the inside is spacious to wean up or avoid rain.. etc. The cost may be a few $100 more than other charters out of Marina Del Ray, but in my opinion well worth it. Thanks again crew for making memories and be the highlight of our TG weekend. The Kadlec Family

Francis ZhouRepeat angler4.7Verifiedmost reliable captain and crew in socal
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 20, 2026 • 4 adultssecond time around, caught less fish this time but still had a great time out on water. Ive used this app a few times and I’ll that i found this crew to be the most reliable. Lots of fake instant confirmations with captains trying to lock in your deposit and then change dates - not worth the hassle.

The yacht was as pictured, beautiful. Those onboard were made to feel welcome and comfortable. No one on board wanted for anything from drinks to food to the killer fishing. Fish, dolphins and seals were plentiful. Took home a large amount of filleted fish. Top notch service, Brandon and Nate are highly recommended. Will be back in the future. Incredible experience.
Boat was excellent, Captain and Deck Hand excellenr, great with kids, friendly, helpfull, proactive.. we caugh a bunch of fish… highly recommended, we will definitelly do it again
