Local Day and Overnight Charters

• Newport Beach

• Offering relaxed, private day charters along the Newport Beach coastline and harbor. With access to a range of power and sailboats, I create easy, enjoyable days on the water, cruising the bay, exploring the coast, or anchoring out at Emerald Bay for a swim. You just step aboard and enjoy.

• Dana Point

• Offering day sails on a 44’ sailboat or coastal cruises aboard a vintage Bertram 20’ Moppie. Perfect for cruising Laguna Beach’s beautiful coastline. As a Laguna Beach native, Captain Ryan knows every cove for swimming, diving, snorkeling, and exploring, just come aboard and settle into an unforgettable day on the water.

• Long Beach

• Depart from Long Beach and cruise the coast or head over to Catalina on a modern 58’ motor yacht. Comfortable, fast, and ideal for a memorable day on the water or a quick island getaway.

• Santa Barbara

• Depart from Santa Barbara with access to classic sailboats and modern motor yachts for coastal cruises or day runs out to the Channel Islands. Whether you’re looking for a smooth, comfortable trip or a relaxed sail, everything is handled so you can enjoy the coastline and the islands at your own pace.

• Catalina Island

• With a lifetime of summers spent at Catalina, I know every hidden cove, snorkel spot, cliff-jump, and quiet, romantic corner perfect for a picnic. Whether you want to explore the island’s clear-water reefs, swim in tucked-away coves, or relax on a secluded beach, I tailor each trip to the kind of Catalina experience you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or a mix of both.

• Channel Islands

• With over 27 years of sailing the Channel Islands, I know just about every anchorage across all the islands. Whether you’re looking for a clean surf break, a clear-water snorkel spot, a rugged coastline to explore, or iconic places like the Painted Cave. Each trip is tailored to what you want: adventure, quiet coves, wildlife, or a mix of it all.
