The Newport Beach Sailing Charters DIFFERENCE
A captained charter with Newport Beach Sailing Charters is different from any other boat charter you may have previously experienced. This can be a truly INTERACTIVE experience, if that is what you wish! If you would enjoy taking the wheel and driving the yacht, you will get the chance to do so. If you would like to get your hands on the lines and trim the sails, you will! Of course, if you prefer to just sit back, enjoy a drink, and have the captain take care of everything, we can do that too. The choice is YOURS!
