Redondo Beach

Our south bay location is perfect for whale watching near the Palos Verdes Peninsula and for easy sails to Catalina and Santa Barbara Island.  The Sailing out of Redondo Beach is beautiful. The harbor is however difficult to enter if there is a large sea running from the south. When approaching the harbor, do not sail close to the breakwall. When sailing here, confine your daysails to Santa Monica Bay.

SAILS TO MARINA DEL REY To the north, it is a two hour sail to Marina del Rey. Do not follow the coastline when sailing north. Instead sail to the west (to sea) of the 2ES buoy. Inside the buoy are tankers anchored and a submerged pipeline that has sunk over three hundred boats. When entering Marina del Rey, use the north entrance as the south entrance is heavily shoaled. You can go to the guest docks off Burton Chase Park and have a picnic in the park, or it is a short walk to nice restaurants.

DAY TRIPS SOUTH In whale watching season, the Palos Verdes Point is a great spot to see the gray whales migrate to Mexico. Stay a few miles offshore on your trip around the point. You will pass Malaga cove and Lunada Bay. There is no anchoring allowed in any of these coves as they are all exposed to sea, wind and have submerged rocks under the surface. When sailing, stay outside of the 10PV bell off of Palos Verdes Point. Inside are the remains of the shipwreck "Dominator". Do not attempt to sail to Long Beach in one day.

CATALINA PASSAGE It is generally a nice reach over to Catalina. Sail to buoy 10PV then you can change course to your destination on Catalina. Make sure your charts are handy as you will cross the tanker lanes. Keep a close watch for north and southbound traffic. Do plan at least on two days for Catalina trips. Night crossings are not allowed.

SANTA BARBARA ISLAND PASSAGE We recommend you make the trip to Catalina or the Isthmus for the first day, and set out early for Santa Barbara Island. Night crossings are not allowed and there are no facilities on the island. The only anchorage on the island offers little protection, so only the very experienced should attempt this crossing in broad daylight and only in very settled weather.

Long Beach

DESIGNATED CATALINA OVERNIGHT ANCHORAGES
Located near the new aquarium and the Queen Mary, this great location is the closest to Catalina Island.  There are dozens of coves that have moorings in place for your convenience. We recommend you use these moorings whenever possible. In the summer, moorings can be difficult to obtain, especially for those people who arrive on Saturday.

AVALON AND SURROUNDING COVES
In July, August and September, moorings at Avalon and surrounding coves can fill up as early as Thursday for the weekends. If you are planning a vacation, it is a good idea to go to Avalon early in the week. Absolutely no anchoring is allowed in any of these coves, as the water is too deep and there is too much exposure to wind and sea.

HEN ROCK, WHITES AND BUTTONSHELL COVE
There is shoreboat service from Memorial Weekend to Labor Day weekend, which will allow you to visit Avalon from all the overnight anchorages around Long Point, if you are secured on a mooring. If at anchor, you do need to keep anchor watch at all times.

ISTHMUS AND SURROUNDING COVES
Moorings are available in abundance here. In the summer, the shoreboat operates all the way to Emerald Cove. Anchoring is allowed in designated overnight anchorages (the same anchorages that have moorings). Use extreme caution and always have your charts with you upon entering the Isthmus, Emerald Cove and surrounding coves. There are reefs under the surface and rocks near the points. The most hazardous reef is on the east side of the Isthmus, well marked with a Red buoy. Emerald Cove has a very long reef that extends west from Indian Rock. There are no anchorages west of Emerald Cove.

BACKSIDE OF CATALINA
Catalina harbor, on the backside of Catalina, is an excellent harbor with rnoorings and good anchorage area. It is the recommended anchorage in Santa Ana wind conditions (winds from East North East) and is also a good anchorage on busy summer weekends. It is the only bay on the backside that we allow Marina Sailing boats to enter. We do not allow any anchoring in Little Harbor, due to the reef that extends from the west side across the entrance.

San Diego

Enjoy the 12 miles of beautiful coastline in San Diego Bay. Best southern location for sails to Ensenada, San Clemente and Los Coronados Islands.  See some whales and other marine mammals as you share a fun sail with your guests and some "friends you hadn't met yet" namely your fellow Marina Sailing members. This is also a great chance to get familiar with various boats in the fleet so you'll know 'em better when you charter them. Boat size(s) is/are determined by the number of sign-ups, and the most qualified member aboard will be the "acting skipper". Everyone gets a trick at the wheel and everybody helps sail the boat.
