Charter Options

Full Day Cruise: On our full day cruise, sit back and enjoy as we motor sail out of Newport Bay, taking time along the way for a delightful tour of the bay front homes, gaining a bit of flavor of the local culture and history.  After clearing the wedge, enjoy yourself as we sail south to Laguna Beach, passing Crystal Cove & Emerald Bay along the way.  Lunch in Emerald Bay is always a treat.  The trip back to shore is enjoyable as the day on the water.  Don't be surprised to see seals, playful dolphins along our bow, or even the occasional migrating whale!  The full day cruise can be modified to your desires to include as much sailing, relaxing, snorkeling, revelry, or nature observation as you wish.  Just tell the Captain what you enjoy the most, and he will make it happen!

Half Day Cruise: On our half day cruise, sit back and enjoy as we motor sail out of Newport Bay, taking in the view of the beautiful bay front homes and relaxing on our way out to open sea.  Once past 'The Wedge', enjoy yourself as we raise full sails on our way to Emerald Bay, keeping an eye out for seals, dolphins playing by our bow, and the occasional migrating whale.  After a short sojourn in Emerald Bay, we'll retrace our wake back to shore.  This charter can be modified to your desires, with the Captain's permission.

Sunset Cruise:  For our sunset cruise option, sit back and enjoy a delightfully relaxing evening in Newport Bay.  Our knowledgeable Captain will take you on a pleasurable cruise, pointing out much of the character and history of this beautiful location.  Enjoy this most romantic of settings, letting the stress of the week drift in the wake behind you.  Our Captain will be as engaging as you desire, either noting and describing points of interest, or sitting in the aft control station and giving you the maximum amount of privacy for your romantic evening.
