Cruising Yachts
We are one of the largest yacht sales organizations in North America and feature the largest selection of new and brokerage yachts on the West Coast. Diverse and functional We believe that even smaller yachts can be tremendous fun. With the CRUISER 34 we have succeeded in bringing together the most important aspects of sailing - sailing pleasure and spaciousness - in one boat.

This yacht has excellent - and very safe - sailing characteristics. The XXL cockpit area is pleasantly commodious. Beauty and performance. With family or with friends - the BAVARIA C50 is about the pleasure of sailing, but it's about relaxation too. Together you can enjoy a fabulous time on water or on land, and with a lot of people.
Services
We're pleased that you've taken this opportunity to visit our website and view the many beautiful yachts that we have to offer. Purchasing a yacht is an exciting experience and we look forward to assisting you in any way that we can. Cruising Yachts has been in business since 2007 when we acquired our first yacht dealership in Alameda (San Francisco Bay).
Cruising Yachts lists and sells more pre-cruised brokerage yachts than any other yacht dealer or broker on the West Coast. With waterfront offices throughout California, including San Diego, Newport Beach, Marina del Rey (LA) and Alameda (San Francisco Bay), we will expose your boat to more prospective buyers than any other dealer or broker.
Ian Van Tuyl has excellent communication skills and his knowledge of the boat and the various options produced an outstanding yacht. Ian takes pride in his work and the boat shows it. I had my hopes set on a boat for sale in Shelter Island, and when the boat was taken off the market I was a little disappointed.
The CYC Membership Program is an exclusive boating membership that gives you the regular use of high-end sailboats for about the cost of a slip. CYC boat sharing program allows you to share a boat, enjoy it, and then leave all the cleaning and maintenance to us. The program is managed by a sophisticated on-line calendar management program so all members are assured access to the boat.
Owning a new yacht is a great experience and the fun of owning it shouldn't be diminished by the difficulty of paying for it.

For years savvy yacht buyers have recognized that there is a completely legitimate way to significantly reduce the cost of owning a yacht by structuring ownership in a manner that allows you to write-off the purchase price of your yacht and deduct most ownership expenses (insurance, slip fee, maintenance) against your employment income.

I recently purchased a boat from Cruising Yachts, Jeff Jorgensen was my rep. He did a great job. Nice guy, very knowledgeable, knows how to sail. Follow-up service is great thus far as well.

I can understand sellers having issues because most want too much money for their boat even after they fail the survey. Especially in this sellers market.

This was my third survey and it was clean as Jeff said it would be. The other two surveys were with different brokers that I will not mention because one was down right dishonest.

Jeff is honest and to the point and don't even think otherwise.

This review and shout out is long over due. We purchased a Jeanneau 42 DS From Cruising Yachts Five years ago and couldn't have been more pleased with the transaction all handled by Ian. I've owned quite a few sail and power boats over the years and have dealt with a lot of brokers during that time. I have to say Ian Van Tuyl stands out as the very best.
From his incredible depth of product knowledge to his personal attention to our specific concerns, Ian always had thoughtful answers and solutions. And most important of all has been his accessibility and help after the sale. He's always got great

All of the brokers at Cruising Yachts of San Diego made my boat searching experience amazing. Their knowledge of their prestigious boats and the ability to give me access to the vessels same day was spectacular. I highly recommend any perspective boat buyer to give them a call!

In June 2013, we contracted with licensed yacht broker John Kuony of Cruising Yachts / Sail California to market and sell our 70 LOD motor-sailer. Our main partner had unexpectedly passed away and the sale of the vessel was important to fund his estate and relieve the other partners of an asset that required the decedent's attention. Mr. Kuony accepted the brokerage commission, and suggested a sales price that took into account the urgency of the sale. Based on the conditon of the vessel and our desire for a quick sale, the sale price was set at $775,000, about half her surveyed value.
