About this venue

Exchange vows aboard the Nerissa motor yacht, the ultimate waterfront wedding venue on San Diego Bay. With a full bar, spacious dance areas, and panoramic views, the Nerissa offers an unforgettable setting for your special day. Host your ceremony on the upper deck with world-class scenery, then celebrate with catering, live music, and entertainment tailored to your vision. Our onboard chefs craft mouthwatering menus to suit your budget, while a state-of-the-art sound system transforms any space into the perfect dance floor. Please note, the yacht accommodates a maximum of 49 passengers, including service personnel such as caterers and photographers. For larger guest lists, consider hosting a rehearsal dinner or wedding photo cruise instead. The top deck, now redesigned after the removal of our hot tub, provides an unparalleled space for live bands, dancing, and soaking in the stunning bay views. Reach out today to let our expert team bring your dream wedding to life!
