Twilight & Starlight
With just 2 to 6 guests per trip, sailing on Twilight and Starlight is like sailing on your own private yacht. With their well appointed cabins and plenty of deck space, these are the ideal boats to take for a leisurely sail or to charter for special occasions. Instead of going on a giant boat with 40 or more people, you'll enjoy the privacy and comfort of an O'Day 34', one of the most popular cruising yachts ever! Celebrate weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, entertain family, friends or clients. We have even seen them used as the romantic backdrop for a marriage proposal!
