Multi-Day Charters

Enjoy a multi-day trip just for you and your family or friends, on a sailboat, powerboat, or catamaran with a licensed captain, to the islands off the coast of Southern California.

Newport Beach Sailing Charters offers eco-travelers (a.k.a. green adventurers) the ability to combine a passion for sailing with other forms of adventure. Pack your gear for sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking – all in one trip! Our sailboats will serve as your toy, transportation and home for your adventure charter.

Where can we sail or cruise?

Catalina is a wonderful destination only 26 miles across the sea, but it feels like a world apart from Southern California. 95% of the island is in its raw and natural state but there are many points of interest.

Avalon is the only town on the island. It is filled with fun bars, inviting restaurants and quaint shops to explore. There are boutique hotels, beaches and a full service beach club. If you are looking for a little more adventure, reserve an open jeep ridgetop tour, try out a zipline experience, book a dive, or rent a kayak or golf cart.

The boater’s paradise of Two Harbors, with is pristine clear water, is another great destination. Isthmus Cove, Cherry Cove, 4th of July Cove and Fisherman’s Cove are all close but each have their own personality.

Smaller secured coves

- Explore Emerald Bay with its emerald color water.
- Check out Whites Cove with its big white sand beach.
- Venture to Little Harbor, on the rugged back side of the island with dramatic views and peacefulness.
- Enjoy Catalina Harbor, one of the largest natural harbors and protected in all sea conditions.
- Catch a glimpse of wandering bison, soaring bald eagles or the elusive Catalina Grey Fox.

Other Islands

Santa Barbara Island is a very small island with a huge colony of sea lions. Near the anchorage is an amazing natural sea arch. While hiking on this island you’ll most likely be the only people on the island. Imagine a Pacific island all to yourself.

San Clemente Island is military-controlled but there is a wonderful large protected cove called “Pyramid Cove” on the south-east side. The ocean wildlife like sea lions, dolphins and whales is a site to behold.

Santa Cruz Island has the world’s largest sea cave. You’ll need a kayak, helmet and a headlamp to explore this deep cavern. There are so many interesting coves, caverns and tiny beaches, you could spend weeks exploring. You’ll need at least 5 days to explore this island.

A beautiful newer yacht, a friendly knowledgeable captain, all necessary safety gear and cleaning up after the charter as well as fuel, mooring and anchoring fees.
