4worldlovers:

Old Plank is a boutique luxury sailing charter & aquatic expedition company with gourmet 5 star cuisine. Founded by Captain and Chef Matthew Mancini and supported by a crew of lifelong watermen, we live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun.

We share a deep passion for quality food and the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the profound peace that comes from an alignment with the rhythms of the ocean. We’ve been fortunate enough to have been immersed in the ocean and gourmet foods and derive great joy from sharing these experiences.

We take our guests out into a safe sailing environment on the Santa Monica Bay or beyond, where they have the opportunity to experience first-hand the joy of sailing, the rhythm of the ocean and unique pairings of gourmet foods and wines in the sweet briny sea air.

We catch sunrises, bake in the mid-day sunshine and relax as the sunsets and the moon rises under starry skies. We play with seals, dolphins, and whales and when appropriate catch fresh seafood to enjoy al-fresco. We are living the Mediterranean dream in Southern California and sharing the experience with valued guests who leave the experience as family.

Our mission is to bring the Mediterranean lifestyle to Southern California’s ideal year round climate. We aspire to help our guest to truly relax and experience the self-healing that can occur when we slow down enough to catch up with our own selves.


Old Plank Sailing Adventures is dedicated to the pursuit of genuine happiness. Curating a safe, healing environment where guests feel comfortable, appreciated and connected with nature. The oceans can help to facilitate a deep state of relaxation for the healing of emotional wounds, so you can rejuvenate while enjoying creative foods in a soothing sailing environment.

From luxurious 45 foot catamarans for groups trips to Catalina, to intimate sunset and moonlight sails for you and a parter aboard vintage mono hull sailing yachts, we offer an array of luxury sailing charter experiences. All of our sail are private, professionally crewed and come paired with gourmet hors d’oeuvres or five-course fine dining options prepared right in front of you by Cuoco Mancini.

Kayak early to experience rare higher water levels due to winter storms.

Why LARKS? Every guide is a fully-insured, trained local expert. Our tour starts off with a short bike ride along the LA river bike path, destination the Frogspot, our riverfront home with fresh water, shade, and restroom. River conversation, paddle instruction, gear up. Kayaks are already at the river for you. The downstream paddle takes you through mild whitewater back to where you started. (No Ubering back to your car in wet clothes like our competitor…)
