Pearson 323 Day Sailing Cruising Adventure in Marina Del Rey

Owner's Description

Welcome aboard the Pearson 323 – A Classic American Cruiser. One of the most iconic sailboats from the Golden Age of American boatbuilding. Renowned for its elegance, performance, and seaworthiness, it’s a capable coastal cruiser that sails beautifully and handles like a dream. The boat comfortably accommodates up to six guests across three main areas: - The bow – perfect for lounging under the sun - The cockpit – equipped with a table and cupholders for drinks and snacks - The cabin (salon) – cozy and comfortable, especially when sailing at the marina Sailing Experience: Whether you prefer a relaxing sail in the protected waters of Marina del Rey or an adventure into the open waters of Santa Monica Bay, this boat is ready. I always prioritize true sailing—engine off, sails up—unless there’s absolutely no wind. We’ve got a premium Soundcore Motion X600 speaker, delivering high-quality audio wherever you are on the boat. Every year, I curate a new playlist to set the vibe. (You’re welcome to play your own music too!) Optional Food & Drinks (Prearranged) If you'd like, I can prepare fresh beer bread, banana cake, chocolate, or stock snacks and drinks from Trader Joe’s (additional cost, requires planning ahead). ________________ Trip Options: 2-Hour Sail: We can cruise along the coast past Venice Beach toward Santa Monica or enjoy a relaxing brunch inside the marina. 3-Hour Sail: Time to reach Santa Monica Pier and enjoy more time onboard with drinks and music, either sailing or relaxing in the marina. 4-Hour Sail: Plenty of time for swimming! We can anchor near Santa Monica Pier or inside Marina del Rey’s breakwater (great if there’s swell outside). 6-Hour Sail: Sail to Redondo Beach, dock at the marina, and have lunch at a local restaurant before heading back. 8-Hour Sail: We can head to Malibu Pier, drop anchor to enjoy the views, paddleboard, or take a dinghy to the beach. Surf lessons can also be arranged to elevate the adventure. Catalina Island Getaway (Minimum 3 Days): Sail to Avalon or Two Harbors for a multi-day trip. I’ve made this voyage many times—it's always unforgettable. Lodging arrangements are required. ________________ Amenities Onboard Full galley with stove/oven, refrigerator, and utensils Convertible salon table that becomes a double berth (great for longer trips) Private head with a manual flush toilet and shower Hours of Operation Monday to Sunday: 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM ________________ Bring your friends and family for a unique, memorable sailing experience. Let’s set sail and make some incredible memories!
