Nerissa Sounds, An Intimate Live Music Series

Zolna Yachts is launching Nerissa Sounds, an intimate live music series hosted aboard their 73-foot yacht, to celebrate the season. Created by husband-and-wife team Shari and Amos Zolna, the series is designed to feel like a “secret concert at sea,” with just 49 guests on board for each cruise.

The series launches Friday, August 15, from 7 – 9 p.m., with an evening of live Latin jazz, a curated coastal dinner menu, and sunset views during the 2-hour cruise.

Limited to just 49 guests, Nerissa Sounds offers a rare opportunity to experience intimate performances by local artists in an elevated setting on the water. The debut event will feature San Diego Music Awards-nominated saxophonist Charlie Arbelaez and his four-piece Latin jazz ensemble. In addition to the live music, guests will enjoy a Champagne toast, curated buffet-style dinner by chef Joann Stabile, and a full cash bar as they cruise past some of San Diego’s most iconic coastal views.
