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.

Experience the testimonies of few of our satisfied customers.

I had the pleasure of embarking on multiple journeys with Fair Winds Charter Co. for leisure and work purposes. Their customer service is truly remarkable, with quick responses and utmost accommodation. Working with them was a breeze. The catamaran itself is stunning and impeccably maintained. The crew and staff treat you like royalty, ensuring a memorable experience. I wouldn’t consider chartering with anyone else; Fair Winds Charter Co. truly stands out as an outstanding company.

Fair Winds Charter in Newport Beach was my first boat experience, and it was smooth and packed with luxury and chill vibes. Once you hop on board, you’re greeted with top-notch hospitality and a laid-back atmosphere. I enjoyed my first charter experience and will return in the future.

I recently cruised Newport Harbor and the neighboring ocean area to the south with my family…What a wonderful experience! I will say the weather was idyllic, however the catamaran was beautiful, the food delicious and the crew, the husband and wife team of Collin and Daniella, was amazing. First, the boat is spacious, safe, and very accommodating. We had a buffet of cheeses, veggies, other wonderful munchies, and an assortment of beverages. All in all, this is a fabulous experience for adults and kids, and it is well worth the cost! I recommend it for visitors to the area and native residents who are just up for a beautiful adventure!

Testimonials

Tim, just wanted to leave you a message that we really appreciate what a wonderful job you did for us and making our 44th wedding anniversary cruise such a wonderful and memorable experience. Just want to let you know that we would recommend you to anybody for what you do, thank you and God bless you Rick & Becky Melendrez

First, both Captain Andrea and Shane were excellent - easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable on the yacht. I would absolutely recommend them to others and will likely request them on a future charter. Thank you for selecting them. Second, the yacht (Sea Ray 510) was just what we needed for this charter and really made it a special day. Finally, the weather was perfect, so made the afternoon at sea quite enjoyable. I appreciate all your help in setting up the charter and will certainly use your services again. Tom Otterbein

Thank you so much for helping us find our beautiful boat - a Mikelson 50'! We can honestly say that without Tim's guidance - and patience - we would never have found this boat, and more importantly - would not have had the confidence to move forward with the purchase. First - you helped us narrow down the search to the type of boat we wanted - showing us over 30 boats from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Then once we decided what to focus the search on - you found a boat that was not even on the market! You helped with every aspect of the negotiations, purchase, survey, inspections, and after the purchase, with training, and answering endless questions! We are so grateful for your help, constant availability, and amazing positive attitude. Nancy & Gregg Hughes

We had an amazing time with our Captain Tim and his crew. We wish we never had to leave. They were very gracious hosts and made sure no one in our group wanted for anything. They provided us with the absolute best customer service and was very respectful to all of our guest. Words truly cannot express how wonderful our experience was with Newport Yachts. Thank you so much for all of the accommodations you made for us. Definitely will be using them for our next Yacht rental in California. Jazne B.

Amazing yacht and crew! It was such a great experience we’ve gone back twice already! Tim and the crew helped us create a perfect custom trip for the best deal in Orange County. Nick Peper

We met Tim when he captained a boat for us. We were so impressed with his professionalism and boating knowledge that when we decided to purchase a boat he was our guy. He handled everything from tracking down a particular boat we loved from Maine to negotiating a price, inspecting it and getting it to Newport safely. To this day he looks after our boat like it is his own! Mike & Ann Kelly

Our group could not be more happy with our charter. Tim handled everything effortlessly, and Capt Brandon was excellent. The boat was spotless, and even the gray whales performed on cue. We will be back, soon. Richard Dover
