MBA Collective Event: Sails and Sunsets

Cover Image for Sails and Sunsets: The Return of the Schmooze Cruise!

Good company. Golden hour. Great connections. All aboard!

The MBA Collective of SoCal is bringing back a crowd favorite: the legendary Schmooze Cruise!

Join fellow alumni from some of the world's top business schools as we replace conference rooms with ocean views, business cards with libations, and the usual networking rooms for a beautiful sunset sail around Marina del Rey.

Whether you're reconnecting with old friends, making new ones, expanding your professional circle, or simply looking for a fantastic way to spend an evening on the water with fun people, this is your invitation to come aboard.

What to expect:

A scenic cruise around Marina del Rey, perfectly timed for golden hour and sunset

A boat full of interesting people from the MBA Collective's partner schools and friends

Great conversations, new friendships, and unexpected connections

Beautiful coastal views, refreshing November sea breezes, and an unbeatable SoCal atmosphere

Legendary beats from Patrick's Yacht Week playlist that is now about a decade old

No presentations. No awkward icebreakers. No agendas. Just an amazing group of people, a boat, and one of the best backdrops Southern California has to offer.

Come for the sunset. Stay for the company. You might leave with a new business connection, a lifelong friend, or simply a great story from a memorable evening.

Space aboard is limited, so grab your ticket early before we sail away.

Good vibes required. Sea legs optional. See you aboard.
