Whales & Dolphins

May through November brings warmer waters to the coast and the opportunity to view Blue Whales, Finback Whales and huge pods of dolphin that number in the thousands. The annual Gray Whale migration brings these majestic animals near to the Southern California shoreline from December through April . Newport Harbor is ideally positioned to take advantage of the annual Gray Whale migration, which brings hundreds of Gray Whales along the coast line and within minutes of Newport Harbor.

Captained Charters

A captained charter with Newport Beach Sailing Charters is a 3, 4 or 8 hour sail. Just sit back and enjoy the sights or sail the boat yourself, with a captain not far away to provide guidance – the choice is yours. Either way, you will sail aboard one of our luxurious sailboats, which all boast a spacious cockpit, outfitted with cushions for you and your guests to spread out and relax.

Adventure Charters

Adventure charters are multi-day trips just for you and your family or friends, on a sailboat 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!

Corporate Events

A corporate event is a captained charter designed to entertain, reward, or build camaraderie amongst your guests. When you need the perfect venue to thank clients or employees, or encourage team building and morale, sailing in stunning Newport Harbor will be an experience not soon forgotten. From harbor cruises to corporate regattas, a sailing charter provides a truly unique and memorable event.

Newport beach sailing charters.

Newport Beach Sailing Charters specializes in private skipper-lead sailing charters. These private sailing charters take place aboard beautiful yachts in Newport Beach. We have sunset, half-day and full-day sails. These are truly interactive experiences where you can take the wheel and “drive” the sailboat. Each one of our captains is also a sailing instructor so they can “teach you the ropes” and you can trim the sails too!

We also offer multi-day “adventure” sailing characters to Catalina and some of the other islands like Santa Barbara Island and San Clemente Island.

For companies or large groups looking for a special day of team building on the water we offer multi-boat sailing regattas. We can customize a sailing event for your company to reward employees or take our special clients.

Once you confirm your reservation, your broker will process your payment.

• If you are booking for a single day and your reservation is confirmed more than 7 days in advance, a deposit of either $1,000 USD or 50% of the total cost of the reservation (whichever is greater) is processed immediately in order to hold the yacht. Once your embarkation date is 7 days away, the remainder of the amount due is processed.
• If you are booking for a single day and your reservation is made 7 days or less in advance, the total price of your reservation is processed immediately.
• If you are booking for a multi-day charter and your reservation is confirmed more than 30 days in advance, a deposit of 50% of the cost of the yacht is processed immediately in order to hold the yacht. Once your embarkation date is 30 days away, the other 50% is collected for the price of the yacht, plus the APA, plus the taxes due.

Terms of refunds are dictated by the Charter Agreement. Generally, once a payment is collected, it is non-refundable. In certain circumstances, as dictated by the Charter Agreement, credits can be provided so you will be able to enjoy your yacht charter at a future date that is convenient for you.
