A private corporate yacht charter in San Diego gives your team something a hotel ballroom or restaurant private room can’t: open water, skyline views, and zero office distractions. Aolani’s corporate event charters come equipped with flat-screen displays, a sound system, and reliable connectivity for presentations, with flexible seating for board meetings, team-building sessions, or a relaxed company retreat on the bay.

Tailored for Team Building

From serious board meetings to carefree karaoke celebrations, our event space caters to all your team building needs. Aolani accommodates up to 48 guests, with flexible seating for up to 35 on deck or 30 in the climate-controlled salon, plus 360-degree panoramic views in an idyllic setting. Need more space? We offer a full Hospitality Suite option, accommodating up to 96 guests, for an unforgettable team building experience.

Conveniently Located for San Diego Corporate Gatherings

Located on Harbor Island, just across from the airport, Aolani offers easy accessibility for your corporate gathering.
