Discover California Yacht Marinas -- from San Diego to Channel Islands Harbor

For a quarter of a century, California Yacht Marina has quietly evolved
into a chain of quality marinas throughout Southern California.
Recognized for its leadership in environmentally safe marina practices, there is obvious pride-of-ownership evident throughout the organization and the marinas it operates.
LaRue Thomas is the founder and guiding force behind the success of California Yacht Marina.
In 1984, following his success as a nationally renowned Cadillac dealer in Los Angeles, Thomas acquired a marina in Los Angeles Harbor, which he proudly named California Yacht Marina.
From this simple beginning of operating a 250-slip marina, the organization has grown to offer
more than 2,200 slips -- and it is still growing.
Thomas’ dream was to create a chain of marinas, where boaters could share his love of boating and enjoy berthing with California Yacht Marina. It also included offering the opportunity for CYM boaters to use other CYM marinas at no additional fee.
With Thomas, dreams become a reality. Today, there are California Yacht Marinas from Channel Islands Harbor to San Diego Bay -- all immaculately maintained and offering a whole host of
activities and events. And, yes, if you berth at any CYM marina, you can use the others at no
additional cost.

Boat Angel Supports Charities, Offers Tax Savings

If you’re no longer using a boat or PWC, Boat Angel, a nonprofit
organization that sells vessels for charity, will accept your pleasurecraft
for donation.
Boat Angel has successfully processed many boat donations in California. The process is quick and its donors have been extremely happy with the results. Instead of wasting your money to
store a vessel you aren’t enjoying, why not donate it and let someone else benefit?
Car Angel/Boat Angel is an authorized 501 C3 charity that can issue donors an immediate
receipt. In most cases, it will sell your boat and you will get a 100-percent tax credit with no fees deducted, according to the amount for which the boat sells.
In some cases, donated boats can be repaired or improved by the addition of newer parts and
accessories. When Boat Angel sells a refurbished boat, the donor will receive a 100-percent
credit according to its retail blue book value as detailed on IRS form 1098c.
Donors can start the process of donating their vessels to Boat Angel by filling out an online form at boatangel.org or by calling (800) 227-2643.

Talk to Sterling Acceptance Corporation before you buy a boat
There are several reasons to finance your boat purchase. In reality, it
may cost you more if you pay cash. Sounds crazy, but consider these
options on financing versus paying cash:
• Free up your cash for other investments
• The interest expense on the boat loan may be deductible as a 2nd
home
• Let your money work for you
• Equity loans are not readily available if you need cash later – however
you can recoup a portion of your cash if you finance within 90 days of
purchase
With rates as low as 4.25%, you should consider the benefits of a boat
loan. Contact Peggy Bodenreider at 714-473-8523 or peggy@sterlingacceptance.com
