“I joined Aventura a few months ago and I can't be more impressed. I've learned so much about sailing! The staff and the members are all so welcoming. Aventura is truly an asset to the Dana Point Harbor. It brings a touch of class to our beach community!”
“By far the best sunset cruise under sail. There’s nothing better, wind in the sails, calm of the water. Except that it’s on a 100 year old ship with quite the history. I love history. And that the ship is open for the guests to explore while the crew tend to a great experience adding champagne and charcuterie.
Great job! Highly recommended for a romantic escape.”
“A beautiful yacht club that seems likes it's stood the test of time. You have a great view of the ocean here and membership is required to be able to use the facilities. The club and its facilities itself is a 5 star. No question as the decor and the feeling you get inside is spectacular. Their restaurant has a great view upstairs on the second story and they are very dog friendly which is amazing. Their menu is very simple and straight forward and they mostly have a mix of Mexican, American and Italian food. I had ordered their burger with a mix of onion rings and regular fries, the hummus and their flat bread with fig and burrata. They also have a selection of drinks and a daily drink specials. As far as the taste of the food... the burger was just good, it didn't leave a good or a bad impression, but the hummus had very little flavor and tasted very bland. The fig and burrata flat bread had more of a fig drizzle instead of actual figs and the flatbread had the texture of a cardboard. Now the food from what I have tasted was 2 stars. But again the place is so beautiful you won't care what you eat. I was invited here by a member and it's a great place to hang out and enjoy the view.”

24800 Dana Point Harbor Dr, Dana Point“Updated review as we stayed yet again over the weekend. You get what you pay for. You're right on the harbor and that is great. Everything else is just ok. Service at the front is hit and miss. Check in declined to let us know that iPhone magnets kill the card keys. Would have been a point to bring up before we went all the way to the third floor just to find out our keys were demagnetized. lived with that. I'm sad to see this may soon be gone.. Sadly. Here is a photo with ducks swimming in the pool. Lot of memories here .”
