Southern California, United States bareboat and crewed luxury yacht charters and boat charter destination reviews

Whether thinking about the southern coast of California or just south of the border along the Baja peninsula, Southern California is without fail one of the preeminent yacht charter and sailing destinations in the United States (and Mexico). Plus, it's not that impossible to get out and about in Southern California, with sails off to the Channel Islands off of Santa Barbara to San Nicolas Island, Santa Catalina Island and San Clemente Island all due south. During the high sailing season in the winter, there are quite a few yachts puttering around, but there are plenty of moorings and places to put your boat should you want to tour the inland sites. The small towns and bigger cities stretched along this coast are fairly easy to navigate and offer some of the best melting pots of restaurants, pubs and bars in the Pacific Ocean.
