Harbor Island Yacht Club

OPEN for BUSINESS...and LEISURE of course! Summer breezes & sunshine welcome you all back to San Diego bay at this time. We are back to work.....taking all the mandated & suggested precautions to provide your family & your co-workers a very safe & enjoyable experience. Our management was instrumental in designing the 'opening' procedures for all charter operations in San Diego so we are at the forefront on what is required. Get your family together, & talk to your boss about a company bonding activity on the bay. Small corporate regatta events are available for as many as 120 guests or as few as 12. Despite this 'thing' we are all going through....we are still shooting to conduct our 1,000th Regatta event in 2020.....just 22 events to go. Will you be part of this count down?

A quick laugh to get going on a Monday! Being in the right place at the right time is every photographers bonus. Given that I have photographed 976 corporate sailing regattas for Harbor Island Yacht Club on San Diego Bay....I've seen a thing or two! Here's a fun little sequence for you: #harboryc #harborislandyachtclub #acsailexpert #sandiegoteambuilding #sandiegotourismauthority #corporatesailingregatta #teamsailing #sdccc #sandiegoyachtevents #sandiego

Just an example of the 1,000's of photos we've taken over the last 20 years conducting corporate sailing regattas at Harbor Island Yacht Club. You wonder how we kept track....that we are today up to 976 regatta events....for 66,000+ corporate employees. Well...all these albums help. A couple of old client testimonials as well. And my old Sony Mavica camera...the first digital they produced...had a floppy disc in the back that could record 8 to 12 images only. I spent all night processing those images for clients, one floppy at a time. But the camera was awesome....great images...point & shoot ease. Come and join us....get your team fired up! #harboryc #sandiegoteambuilding #harborislandyachtclub #acsailexpert #sailingteam #sandiegotourismauthority #corporateregatta #sandiegooffsite

Counting down to 1,000th event in 2020! Yesterday was corporate sailing regatta #974...102 guests on 17 yachts....and I have been on the committee boat taking photos for almost 950 of those events. That's like 65,000 happy faces that I've had the privilege to entertain on San Diego bay. 1,000....here I come! #harboryc #harborislandyachtclub #acsailexpert #teambuildingsailing #corporatesailingregatta #groupevents #sandiegobay #yachtcharter #sandiegoboatingevents #groupevents

On San Diego Bay on a spectacular Thursday afternoon for a 5 yacht corporate sailing regatta. The Santa Ana warm winds are making it perfect for these novice sailors. Wish u were here!

When you conduct 5 corporate sailing regattas in a span of 6 days, you can be sure that there are some great photo opportunities. This sequence was a lot of fun....for the guests as well as me behind the camera. We have a lot of identical yachts....which for smaller groups up to 50 you are "all in the same boat"...as such! Talk to your boss about a team regatta for your office / company. If you are more than 50....we mix it up with yachts for up to 120 and give each size yacht a different handicap.....which again gives everybody equal chance for the 'bragging rights'. Hope you can join us soon.

Just a few more fun photos taken during our 950+ corporate sailing regatta events over the years. These include: Regatta boats at the bottom mark....me on the swim step of a 42 with camera at lowest position without getting it wet + a regatta 270 crossing path of a huge ship, which is not so scary considering the anchor chain of the ship is hidden behind the sails + again trying not to get run over, this is the private 'Whirlaway' visiting San Diego one regatta afternoon...and I couldn't resist the opportunity for some fun photos. Talk to your boss about a team building regatta at HIYC. #harboryachtclubs #harborislandyachtclub #acsailexpert #corporateregatta #teamsailing #yachtrental #sandiegoyachtcharter #setsailyachtcharters #yachtphotography #teambuildingsandiego #sailrace

San Diego Bay is a fabulous "user friendly" playground for novice sailors....and it is 95% novices that attend and participate in our corporate sailing regatta events. In the course of operating our committee boat for over 950 events....I've taken a few photos. Thousands & thousands of images actually...and while many look the same...event after event....there are some very cool shots taken during these times. I'll share a few at a time....with a description of each. Today: D...ennis Conner heading to the finish line on a little old Catalina 270 with an IBM group + Solar Eclipse shot from our old office. The secret to this shot....you take 3 different pair of sunglasses from the lost property box, hold them over your camera lens and hope for the best! #HIYC #harboryc #harborislandyachtclub #sailingregatta #corporateteambuilding #teamsailingsandiego #teamoffsite #corporatestaffevents #acsailexpert #noviceyachtrace #solareclipse #dennisconner See more

Loews Coronado Bay Resort is a fantastic location for corporate business, and equally as fantastic for groups wanting some water based team fun & camaraderie. Over the last 12 years we have conducted over 150 sailing regatta events from Loews docks. For guests....not another coach ride, no more time on a freeway...just jump on one of our many yachts just 100 ft from the lobby. Yacht racing in the South bay consistent breezes completes the scene. Always a great wind across the silver strand = close racing and lots of corporate fun. From the boat to the bar when you're done. Please share with anybody you know doing business at Loews. #harboryc #hiyc #corporateregatta #loewscoronadobayresort #teamsailing #acsailexpert #funracing #coronadosailing

Our friends at the lovely resort "L'Auberge Del Mar" recently did a small team sailing regatta with us. Their 20+ group raced 4 of our identical 29 ft regatta yachts, complete with snacks & drinks on another typical beautiful afternoon on San Diego Bay. Everybody pitched in and had a ball. Now they know exactly what to tell their clients when a fun boating activity is required. We have conducted over 1,000 of these events for more than 65,000 corporate attendees. #harboryc #harborislandyachtclub #teamwork #laubergedelmar #acsailexpert #sailingregatta #corporateoffsite #sandiegobay #teambuilding

When you are just a small corporate group & want to play on the bay, rent our 2 identical 40 Ft Beneteau's for an afternoon of fun....just like this group. Our captains are responsible while you relax. You might even stop at a bayside restaurant for lunch or dinner. With our yachts named after 'famous Jimmy Buffet songs'....you know the party lies ahead. #harboryc #corporatesail #offsitesailing #meetingonboard #acsailexpert #jimmybuffetboats
