Three boats. One harbor.

Each yacht is shared among a small group of owners, so there is always a slot to book.

42ft

Serenity

A Catalina 42 cruiser. Stable, roomy, and easy to single-hand for an afternoon on the water.

Sleeps 6 · 8 guests aboard
38ft

Pacific Bella

A Beneteau 38 sloop. Quick and nimble, the one you take when you want to actually sail.

Sleeps 4 · 6 guests aboard
50ft

Balboa Spirit

A 50ft cruising catamaran. Stable, spacious, and built for the whole crew and a long day out.

Sleeps 8 · 12 guests aboard

A real share, not a timeshare.

You co-own a specific boat with a few others. Here is how it works.

01

Take a share

Buy into a specific yacht alongside a small group of owners. Your share, your boat.

02

Book your days

Reserve mornings, afternoons, or full days online. No double-booking, no group texts.

03

We keep her ready

Moorage, maintenance, cleaning, and insurance are handled. You just show up and sail.

Family-run, out of Balboa.

Owning a yacht outright is a lot of boat for most people most of the time. Sharing one with a few others, with the scheduling and the upkeep handled, is the easy way onto the water.

We keep the groups small and the boats well maintained, so every owner gets real time on a boat they are proud of.
