Sunset Sailing

The ocean restores and resets

As the summer heat breaks for the day and the sun starts to dip, this 58‑foot monohull sails out of Marina del Rey and into open water. Once you clear the harbor, the city fades away , the coastline stretches out in that hazy summer light. The boat has just enough sway to make the sail feel alive, giving you the chance to learn the basics, take the helm for a moment, or simply enjoy the sail.
Out on the water, the evening feels playful. You can jump in for a swim, float for a minute, then climb back aboard as the marine wildlife surround. A fun and cooling reset for the week ahead.

Nick Sharp is a Venice based therapist and outdoor guide on a mission to help humans remember that we are nature too. Nick organizes and leads multi sensory experiences structured to integrate present moment awareness and attunement. This includes working with horses, hikes, surfs, sails, and wilderness adventures. He founded This is Water, a water community dedicated to providing high adventure sailing expeditions internationally.

This is Water is now committed to creating accessible programs for folks in and around Los Angeles to be on the water, many for the first time. Nick began sailing tall ships out of Key West a decade ago, and today works with individuals and groups on deepening their relationship to water and the world around us. He leads with listening, and creates openings for people to step into their own empowerment and possibility.

Itinerary

We will meet at the harbor and then make out way onto the 58-foot classicaly restored monohull.

We will move alongside diverse marine life, including sea lions and dolphins below, and a variety of birds above. We'll make our way into the open ocean where you'll begin to feel the adventure of the waves. After we find a good spot to pause, we'll watch and bask in the sunset.
You are welcome to take a dip in the ocean, learn sailing fundamentals from our captain, and/or simply enjoy connecting with those aboard.
