The West Coast is a magnet, not just for wannabe movie stars, but also for sunseekers and boating aficionados. In fact, California has on average 284 sunny days each year, meaning it’s the perfect playground for outdoor funseekers.
Most visitors to the Golden State will pass through one of her oceanside cities, and a sailboat charter in Los Angeles or San Diego sailing charters make for a great day trip or sailing experience.
From classic sailboats or catamarans, to luxury motor yachts and party boats, you’ll find plenty of ways to get out onto the water with Sailo.
See the city from a different side

Sailing California and more precisely San Francisco Bay is on the bucket list for man, for good reason, with the icons of the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz the perfect backdrop to a day out with a yacht charter.
