58' Custom Yawl '38 "Jada"

JADA is the only all-wooden historical yacht available for charter in San Diego and both she and the business are looking for a new owner/operator. Prior to entering into the Charter world she had a very successful racing career having won the Race to Tahiti in 1969 and twice placed 2nd in Transpac. She still performs with speed and grace. The current owner purchased her in 2007. Completely restored her and got the Coast Guard to certify her for Charter for up to 38 passengers.
