Enjoy the fresh breeze and soothing sounds of the ocean on our comfortable well equipped sailboat in a spacious fully cushioned cockpit that seats six easily. The main deck offers excellent visibility and seating arrangements, perfect for Oceanside, California coastal cruising.
The large cockpit features a teak table for your favorite snacks and beverages. Below deck you will find plenty of headroom, a galley, refrigerator, dining area, CD player, head, shower and two private staterooms, additional bunks allow for up to six guests for overnight trips.
You can take a turn at the helm if you like and experience first hand the thrill of floating along with the wind and waves. We encourage you to join in and trim the sails, learn the nautical terms and working parts of a sailboat, or if you prefer just sit back and enjoy the calming affects of the sea as you float along the Pacific coastline.
Hello, my name is Bill DeLuna and I am the owner of Pacific Marine Charters and one of 3 captains that currently operate our fleet of boats.
I owned my first boat when I was a mere 14 years old. I still remember when my father would tow my little aluminum fishing boat down to Los Alamitos Harbor in Long Beach and drop me off to go fishing for the day. He would then pick me up at the end of his work day, load up the boat, and drive us home. There has never been a time since then that I wasn’t fishing, boating or sailing along the Southern California coastline or in the lakes that dot our urban landscape.
Fast forward 38 years! I retired from law enforcement after 30 years of service with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. It was then that I decided to turn my passion of sailing, fishing and boating into a business in which I could offer our customers an affordable and unique adventure aboard one of our luxurious sailboats or motorboats.
In addition to earning a U.S.C.G. Master 50 G.T. Captains License with an endorsement for sailing, Pacific Marine Charters is licensed by the California Cemetery and Funeral Bureau, authorizing us to scatter the cremated remains of your loved ones at sea in a dignified manner. Additionally, Pacific Marine Charters operate the harbor shuttles for the Oceanside Marina Suites in Oceanside Harbor. Oceanside Marina Suites is the only hotel in the Harbor, offering Five Star accomodations including oceanview rooms, romantic suites and top notch service! We are proud to be of service to this fine establishment.
I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to share my passion with you and your guests, whether it be a romantic sunset wine cruise along the Southern California coastline, a gentle morning sail into the open ocean or an adventurous afternoon sail while being pushed along by the westerly ocean breezes. And who knows, you are likely to witness nature at it’s best when a pod of dolphins play along the bow of our boat or a whale that breeches a short distance away.
