Do you have any on-board catering services available?
Yes, on-board catering for special events is available upon request. Please contact Cormac Lawlor (cormac@harboryc.com) for more information.
What is the after hours return procedure?
If you return after our office is closed we ask first that you secure the boat properly. Second, secure the sails and close and lock the cabin. Please remove all personal belongings including trash. In the case of the boats which are on side-ties in San Diego (as opposed to having individual slips) please leave as much room as possible for other boats that may arrive after you. Your marina and boat keys may be left in the drop-box beside the door of the upstairs HIYC office. If sailing out of HLYC, please drop your keys in the drop-box outside the club office near the hotel restaurant.
Can I bring my pets?
Sorry, but many people are extremely allergic to pet hair, so please leave pets at home.
Where do we park when coming to the club?
San Diego: Sailors are allowed only one car in the HIYC parking lot per boat. These are the spaces beyond the red line with curbs marked HIYC ONLY TOW AWAY. You will be provided with a parking permit each time you sign out your boat and it must be displayed on your dashboard. It’s best to plan ahead and all arrive in one car.
Long Beach: Parking for Harbor is in the Coast Long Beach Hotel parking lot. Take a ticket and park in the hotel parking lot near the restaurant. When exiting, insert your ticket at the exit gate. If the gate does not open, simply press the intercom button and tell the front desk that you are chartering a boat from the club.

What are some good cruising ideas and destinations?
