Harbor Island.
Five minutes by car from San Diego International. Ten minutes underway to the harbor entrance and open ocean. Of the dozen marinas in San Diego Bay — Shelter Island, the Embarcadero, Coronado Cays, Chula Vista, Glorietta — Harbor Island sits closest to both the airport and the open Pacific.
Our slip is in the most protected stretch of the West Basin, with valet parking on the dock and 24-hour staff. No air-draft restrictions, no tide gates, year-round deep-water access.
Why members charter instead of own.
A 68-foot yacht in San Diego runs $80–120K a year before you ever leave the dock — slip fees on Harbor Island or Shelter Island, captain on retainer, crew, insurance, fuel, twice-yearly haulout, electronics, depreciation. Add provisioning and the per-charter cost is unknowable until the bill arrives.
Membership inverts that. One monthly rate covers captain, crew, bartender, catered food, fuel, and dockage. No surprise invoices, no slip you're paying for when the boat sits idle. Members charter when they want, the rest of the year someone else is paying to keep the yacht ready.
For most San Diego boaters who use a yacht 20–80 days a year, the membership math beats ownership by a wide margin — and beats traditional charter by a wider one once you account for the all-inclusive crew and provisioning.
From Coronado to Catalina.
San Diego sits at the southern end of one of the most yacht-friendly stretches of the Pacific coast — protected bay, year-round 65–75°F water, no tide gates, and Catalina Island a half-day's cruise away.
Twelve ways to spend a day.
From a two-hour Coronado loop to a multi-day run to Catalina or up to Channel Islands National Park.
