How much will it cost to rent a yatch in San Francisco ?

Question

I want to throw a party for 50 people on a yatch in San francisco on a weekend night for 4-5 hours. What's the best rate I can get. I would prefer to get the yatch with the crew and I can arrange for the food and drinks. Don't really want event organizers or anything.

Answer 1

Just for the yacht- not the food, entertainment, etc- I'd plan on somewhere around $500 an hour.  so $2000, ballpark.  

Here's an example (prices per hour)

Answer 2

Not sure about S.F. but in Los Angeles I did it for $2500.00 for the yacht and $1500.00 for the crew.
