Tequila is a 40‑foot sailing vessel with three cabins and two heads, set up to carry groups of six to eight for day sails or overnight charters.
Day Sailing Along the Los Angeles Coastline
Routes include sailing in the Port of Los Angeles bay area or along Pales Verdes, with options to anchor at Malibu Pier or Paradise Cove for a swim and a boat‑side break.

For multi‑day charters Tequila can reach Catalina Island — anchoring or taking a mooring to go ashore for food and drinks — and longer charters can visit the Channel Islands for extended island hopping.
What the day feels like
What It Feels Like
A day on Tequila moves between sheltered bay sailing and open coastal legs: mornings can be spent cruising the Port of Los Angeles or skimming the coastline of Pales Verdes, afternoons anchoring off Malibu Pier or Paradise Cove for a dip, and a relaxed return via Redondo Beach/King Harbor for lunch at the mooring. On multi‑day charters the tempo widens to passages to Catalina or the Channel Islands with time ashore at island restaurants and multiple anchorages to explore.
