The start of summer means longer days, warmer breezes, and more chances to get out on the water. This season, we’ve made some exciting summer sailing upgrades to our fleet that you won’t want to miss. Whether you're planning a relaxed day with friends or looking to sharpen your skills, our latest additions offer more flexibility, comfort, and performance.

We’re especially excited to introduce the Jeanneau 350—one of the standout new boats in Newport Beach. It’s a fresh option for both new and returning guests who want a reliable, responsive sailboat built for coastal cruising and adventure.

Why Fleet Expansion Matters for Our Sailing Program

We take pride in growing with our sailing community. Our team listens to what sailors want—boats that handle well, are easy to navigate, and offer great visibility.

Expanding our fleet gives us the ability to offer more types of charters, better meet demand, and stay in tune with the latest in sailing technology. We’re also committed to supporting a wide range of programs, from US Sailing-based youth camps to adult sailing courses that reinforce core skills like tacking, docking, and electronic navigation.

Spotlight on the Jeanneau 350

We’re proud to welcome the Jeanneau 350 to our fleet. This modern cruiser is designed with smart features that make it easy to handle without sacrificing performance. Twin rudders give you precise control, and the furling mainsail keeps things simple when conditions shift.

The Jeanneau 350 also comes with a wide cockpit and plenty of outdoor space, making it perfect for social sailing. Its spade rudder offers excellent maneuverability in tight harbors like Newport Beach. Whether you're sailing solo or with a group, the layout gives you confidence behind the wheel.

Designed for Easy Day Sails and Captained Charters

The Jeanneau 350 is well-suited for both experienced sailors and those joining captained charters. With an experienced skipper onboard, it’s a great way to try sailing without needing a license or prior experience.

For those pursuing ASA certifications or preparing for Olympic-class racing, this boat is also a strong platform for hands-on learning. It has the stability and responsiveness needed to refine your technique, especially when learning about sail shape and course correction under different wind conditions.

Adventure charters with the Jeanneau 350 are ideal for exploring the coast. You’ll have everything you need for a safe and exciting trip—from solid navigation tools to a well-balanced sail shape. It’s also one of our favorite choices for those stepping up from smaller boats like the RS Quest or Hobie Cat 14.

Ideal for Families, Friends, and Sailing Schools

Our new boats in Newport Beach give us more ways to customize your experience. If you’re part of a sailing program or sailing school, the Jeanneau 350 offers a step up in complexity while still being manageable for students.

It’s a natural fit for lessons that cover Electronic Piloting or more advanced techniques like sail trim and spinnaker handling. This makes it an excellent bridge between basic keelboats and more advanced models used in club racing and ASA testing.

Planning a day out with friends? The Jeanneau 350’s island-inspired design and wide deck make it comfortable for casual trips too. You can book a captained charter and let our skippers handle the technical side while you enjoy the breeze and coastal views.                                  

What Else Is New in the Fleet?

Alongside the Jeanneau 350, we’ve added other sailboats that support our broader offerings, like the Catalina 36 MKII and the Beneteau 45' Natsumi. These boats give more options for different group sizes and sailing goals.

Whether you’re preparing for RS200 Nationals, teaching kids in RS Feva sailboats, or organizing a team-building sail on a larger cruiser, this summer’s fleet expansion means we’ve got a boat that fits your plan. With every addition, we think about versatility, safety, and how to keep sailing enjoyable for all skill levels.

The added range of vessels also opens up more scheduling opportunities for youth programs, adult refresher courses, and private coaching. This flexibility helps us continue improving our sailing curriculum for all ages.

Supporting the Next Generation of Sailors

Our fleet updates also tie into the goals of our sailing curriculum and summer sailing camps. We work closely with groups like the Youth Sailing Foundation of Indian River County to introduce young sailors to structured programs. Boats like the Jeanneau 350 and Catalina 36 MKII are useful tools for teaching navigation, teamwork, and basic boat handling.

We’ve seen how a well-chosen boat can shape a student's confidence. With the right coaching, even beginners can feel like part of the Swiss SailGP Team or on the path to John Cantor’s School of Sailing. Whether it’s a summer camp class or a weekend session, we're here to make sailing accessible, fun, and safe.

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!
