Aboard JADA · San Diego
She turns 88 this summer.
Come celebrate her.
Mother's Day on May 10th, concert nights at the Rady Shell, her birthday sail on June 5th, community worship, and private charters — all aboard the most beautiful yacht on San Diego Bay.
Concert Nights
Sail to the Rady Shell at Petco Park in style. Each concert charter is tied to a specific show — tickets required. We depart from Harbor Island Marina, enjoy the bay, and arrive at the venue by water. Seats are limited and sell out fast.
Sail with the Birthday Girl
JADA was launched on June 5, 1938 — built in Stockton, California from teak and old-growth timber, and put into the water at the beginning of a world that was about to change completely. She has been sailing ever since. One night a year, she asks you to celebrate her. This is that night. A river of champagne and a mountain of oysters included.

JADA is berthed at the Sheraton dock — 50 yards from the Lanai Lawn where Wilson Savoy plays the free Cajun Kickoff Party. Sail before the boil or after. Both $75 per person.
Before the Boil & After the Boil.
Two departures. The afternoon sail (3:00–5:00 PM) drops you back at the dock as the free kickoff party starts. The night sail (9:30–11:30 PM) takes you out on the bay under stars when the music ends.
JADA is a 1938 classic sailing yacht — 65 feet, teak and brass, the only boat like her on this water. Twenty-eight guests maximum. Zydeco optional. The bay is not.

Mother's Day Sail
An afternoon on San Diego Bay for the mothers in your life. Intimate, beautiful, and unhurried — the way every good gift should be.
Bring Her to the Water.
Every mother I have ever carried has done the same thing within the first few minutes. She stops. Whatever she was holding onto — the week, the worry, the long list of things that needed doing — she sets it down. Her shoulders drop. She looks out at the water and she is, for the first time in a while, just here.
Twenty-eight people at most. The whole western horizon. The bay doing what it does in May. Afternoon departure from the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina — time confirmed upon booking.
