About this venue
The Nerissa is your dream wedding venue, featuring a full bar, spacious dance areas and ample room for your guests to explore. We offer open bar service, catering, live music, and entertainment to bring your dream wedding to life. Our wedding ceremonies typically take place on the upper deck, offering world-class views of the San Diego skyline. Our versatile sound system allows you to transform any part of the yacht into a dance floor. Our onboard chefs create delightful hors d’oeuvres and platters within your budget, ensuring a delectable culinary experience for your guests. When planning your special event, please be aware that all service personnel such as caterers, photographers, etc, will count towards the 49 maximum passenger limit. If your guest list exceeds 49, consider a wedding party photo shoot or rehearsal dinner cruise instead. Our fab staff is professional & friendly.
