The Newport Sea Base is a place where sunlight, sailboats and sea lions are part of the day. With a commitment to developing character, our desire is to inspire a love for the marine environment in the hearts of youth.

Since 1937, the Newport Sea Base has provided fun and valuable educational maritime-based programs to all youth. Year-round, girls and boys learn oceanography, marine biology, environmental science, boating safety, dinghy and keelboat sailing, canoeing, kayaking, motor boating, and other aquatic-related subjects.

The Newport Sea Base boasts a total 115 vessels. Fleets of boats included kayaks, canoes, rowboats, and over four dozen sailboats. Newport Sea Base is also home to three Sea Scout Ships; Del Mar, Renegades, and Triton, Cub Scout Pack 325, Boy Scout Troop 90, Venture Crew 90, as well as the Chapman University Crew Team and Sailing Team, and Corona del Mar High School Sailing Team.

Located just off of Pacific Coast Hwy, the facility overlooks 400 feet of beautiful Newport Beach waterfront.
