2023 Anchoring at Catalina

November 27 – 29

Anchored bow and stern at Cabrillo

Learn the three S‘s to size up a new anchorage and feel good about spending the night

No Moorings? No Problem!

Anchoring confidently with bow and stern anchors, and with a single hook, are perhaps the most important skills when it comes to enjoying Catalina.

Consider this - have you ever worried about whether moorings would be available, or gotten stressed about the online reservation system? No worries here. When you understand where and how to anchor under the stars, you’ll experience the best parts of the island. Moorings will become just another option, and not something to worry about.

On this trip you’ll navigate from Long Beach to Catalina, and learn to anchor both bow and stern, and with a single anchor off the bow, in the best coves on Catalina. This is the perfect way to learn how the confident cruisers do it around the world without having to depend on getting a mooring. Bring your spouse/partner/buddy along and learn to work as a team.
