Joy is a classic 25’ Catalina sailboat, originally from the East Coast, and now living the dream at the beautiful Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard, CA. Situated just north of Malibu and just south of Ventura and Santa Barbara, you will get to enjoy not only the beautiful coastal views stretching from Malibu to Santa Barbara, but also the awe-inspiring Channel Islands.
There are so many options available to best enjoy this boating experience, whether you are seeking adventure or relaxation. If you are seeking adventure and are brand new to sailing, get ready for an interactive experience with your captain that will provide you the opportunity to be an active crew member, learning to become one with the wind to steer the boat and hoist and trim the sails!
If you are looking for ultimate relaxation, just cruise around the harbor with your drink and food in hand while your captain takes care of you. Or, anchor just outside of the harbor next to Hollywood Beach for a beautiful coastal view, and the ability to jump in the water and lay out on the boat to catch your perfect tan.
