Newport Star Cruises

Newport Star Cruises offers private yacht hire for events on Newport Harbor, departing from Newport Beach. Organisers can choose between two multi-deck vessels, The Ambassador and Royal Princess, each accommodating up to 150 guests, including suppliers. Both yachts provide indoor spaces for dining and gathering, alongside areas where guests can enjoy views across the harbour.

The yachts are available for weddings, corporate functions, birthday parties, proms, graduations, holiday celebrations and other private events. Wedding arrangements can bring the ceremony, drinks reception, meal and dancing together aboard one vessel. For business events, the setting can suit client receptions, team celebrations, product launches and meetings away from a conventional room.

The in-house team works with organisers to plan the details, including menus, drinks, décor, entertainment and the event schedule. Catering and bar options can be tailored to the occasion, while entertainment may include DJs or live music. The crew manages the cruise and onboard service as guests move between the different decks.

Planning starts with a consultation and yacht tour, followed by a proposal shaped around the date, group size and event style. The waterfront departure point has an attended parking garage, and the company welcomes enquiries from organisers across Orange County and Los Angeles. Newport Star Cruises is a venue option for those seeking a private, waterside setting with event planning and hospitality arranged alongside the yacht hire.
