Private Race-Day Evening
Best for: 12-28 guests
Typical time: 2.5-3 hours
Planning range: $4,800-$5,500+
The cleanest version: Del Mar during the day, Harbor Island boarding, sunset on the bay, then dinner or a graceful end to the night.
Del Mar race day + San Diego private yacht evening
Make Del Mar the beginning of the story.
You did the dress, the hat, the wine, the photos, the table, the whole day out. Let it end somewhere better than a parking lot. Bring your group from Del Mar to Harbor Island and step aboard JADA for the part of the night everyone remembers.
Private packages for the night you actually want.
Every charter is private, by inquiry, and shaped around your group. These are planning ranges so you can decide whether the idea fits before you start coordinating people.
Birthday or Girls' Night
Best for: photos, champagne, dressed-up groups
Typical time: sunset into evening
Style: polished, not cheesy
For the woman who wants the day to feel beautiful, private, and a little cinematic without booking another predictable restaurant table.
Wine, Golf, or Shopping Weekend
Best for: Del Mar, UTC, Torrey Pines, Rancho Santa Fe
Typical time: after the daytime plan
Finish: dinner-ready
Start with the thing everyone already wants to do, then make the yacht the part that turns it into a story.
A quick planning note
Most groups board JADA at Harbor Island after their Del Mar plans. If you want a different pickup or restaurant drop-off, ask early so the dock, timing, weather, and captain approval can be checked before anyone gets attached to the idea.
2026 Del Mar race dates worth building around.
Pick the public event first, then build the private part of the day around it.
