Santana Sailing Club Membership

About the Santana Sailing Club

When it comes to the joy and experience of sailing, there is just no substitute for getting more days on the water.  That’s what our students – our friends – came to us for in the first place, and that’s what the Santana Sailing Club is all about.  This is the easiest and most economical way to get out and go sailing.

What Do I Get With Membership?

You get the opportunity to share time aboard a fully equipped and maintained Catalina 30 Tall Rig Bella Luna, or Newport 30 Gypsea, in Long Beach, for a fixed monthly fee.  You’ll be able to sail a full 7 days in each 4-week period, schedule your sailing days online, unlock the gate and boat, get parking permits, and forget worrying about slip fees, maintenance, insurance, refueling, and bareboat charter contracts and conditions.  It’ll be like walking on to your own professionally managed sailing yacht and sharing use with a limited number of like-minded people who care for the boat as much as you do.  And you can let someone else handle the details of ownership.

How Does It Work?

We use online scheduling software that allows you to reserve sailing days in advance, up to 7 twenty-four-hour periods in a 4-week rotation – 5 week days, and 2 weekend days.  Each day consists of three parts:  8:00 – 10:00 AM; 10:00 – 6:00 PM; 6:00 – 8:00 AM.

You can also reserve back-to-back days up to 7 in each period, and you can reserve on the spot or months in advance.

What Does It Cost?

The monthly fee is $513 in total.  We ask for a minimum three month commitment, and it goes month to month after that.  You can sail 7 full days over the 4-week rotation for $147 per day.  Compare that to the cost of ownership (buying the boat is just the beginning), or bareboat chartering a similar boat for $350 or more for each day of use.  If you want to sail more than once a month, there is no easier or more cost-effective way to do it.
