    Tonight we headed down south to our favorite club. All of us were anticipating somewhat excitedly to watch a small concert given by Jason Freddy, locally loved as the lead singer for Mad English Man cover band for Joe Cocker. He is giving a private one man concert at our favorite yacht club in Dana Point Harbor. It was better than anyone expected. There was no cover charge and the three main dishes were all excellent. The breaded coconut shrimp with thick French fries were delicious and fish chips and fries were as good as any and the cheese board was fashioned after the best Italian cheese board. My favorite part was the concert. He is a guitar hero with the Takamine acoustic guitar. How can you have a front seat at the concert with no entry fee. The beer was on me.

    My wife and I recently finished ASA 101 basic sailing course at Aventura. We enjoyed it so much, we became members of the club. Our instructor Ric was fantastic, patient and very calm. We look forward to more classes and sailing with Aventura!

    I love Aventura for the wonderful atmosphere, members, activities and food. If you ever wanted to learn how to sail without owning and paying for a boat; Aventura is the place for you. It was my to go place during COVID-2020 and I learned how to sail and the club was transformed into a spectacular place for learning how to sail, relax in the harbor and the club house is yours. Since 2020 Aventura now serves food and drinks to members and guests on Thursday-Saturday. Federico and Bobby hired the best Chef Ginger; Yvonne is the Bar Tender and Eric makes sure everyone is completely satisfied. Tonight I had the best smoked salmon ever! Come join us!

    Paid by card online. Capt. Dave's is located by the harbor and offers a lot of parking. I was…read moreeasily able to book online for the 2.5 hour 8 am tour, for my child and me. When we arrived at the harbor, we went upstairs to check in and got the passes to get on the boat. The staff was super friendly at check-in and on the boat (Capt. Matt, 1st mate, Mike, and photographer, Andy.) Everything about the experience was well-organized. The boat was clean and comfortable so it was an enjoyable ride. We saw about 400 dolphins and 1 humpback whale! It was such an enjoyable excursion! I would recommend you bring your own snacks and/or drinks on board if you don't have a chance to eat beforehand, since snacks and drinks are not provided on the 2.5 hour 8 am tour. There is a small snack shack upstairs where you check in if you forget to bring things to eat and drink. I would recommend this tour and would go back.

    Highly recommend going out with the Capt Dave's crew!…read more Had an amazing time out on their Manute'a boat. Cannot say enough about how cool it was to view the wildlife through the underwater viewing pods. It was an unbelievable experience to come nose to nose with wild bottlenose dolphins. We visited on a busy day on Memorial Day weekend, and the crew still took time to make sure that everyone on the boat was having a good time and getting their questions answered. I also brought along my rambunctious 2 1/2 year old son, and felt totally safe on the boat, which felt very secure for kids. On our cruise we saw dolphins, a fin whale, a sun fish, sealions, and common dolphins. A great day. Special thanks to Matt and Amanda for all their fun facts and knowledge sharing! We will definitely be back later in the year to look out for blue whales and white sided dolphins.

    Dana Point Harbor is always my favorite Paddle Boarding spot. I've been coming here for years…read more Peaceful, quiet and just straight up zen. Easy on and off of the board. Right at baby beach, in case you fall off returning the board (like me) you can just walk straight to shore

    Review is for their sailing camp!…read more This was our second year attending Westwind Sailing, and once again, it exceeded our expectations! My boys absolutely love this camp -- the sailing, the teamwork, the fun -- it's all top notch. This year, we ran into an unexpected situation where one of my sons wasn't able to attend, even though we had signed up well in advance. Based on the camp's policy, Westwind could have easily told us there was nothing they could do -- but they did the opposite. They were quick to respond, incredibly understanding, and went out of their way to accommodate us. In a world where customer service can be hit-or-miss, their compassion and professionalism really stood out. Another lovely moment: during the "practice capsizing" day, my elderly parents came to watch. Without us asking, the amazing staff brought out chairs for them so they could sit and enjoy the event comfortably. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and speaks volumes about the team behind this camp. We're so grateful for everything Westwind Sailing offers -- from the wonderful instruction to the truly kind and caring staff. Highly recommend this camp to anyone considering it!
