Canoe/Boat Overnight Watch

Oceanside OCC will have two people as overnight watch from 7:00pm on Friday until 5:00am Saturday morning for any Canoe trailers and/or Escort Boats dropped off on Friday. Please note we will do our best to keep an eye on everything, but OOCC is not responsible for any damage or theft. We highly recommend providing your own security for canoes and/or Escort Boats left overnight.

Guest boat slots are available for rent if you wish to choose that option by calling the Oceanside Harbor Office at 760-435-4000 (Mon-Sat 8:00am-4:30pm)

Launching Escort Boats

Escort Boats must arrive at the launch ramp no later than 6:00am to allow adequate time for all boats to launch in a timely and organized manner. Local fishing boats have launch priority on the Northern ramp so patience is required – we will have volunteers to help manage the area.

Oceanside Outrigger has also reserved the Coast Guard Dock for Friday night. There is 150’ of dock available with permission to dock two boats side-by-side. If you wish to launch Friday and tie up, please do so. DO NOT “find” an empty slot in the Harbor, you will be ticketed and asked to leave the harbor.

Securing Escort Boat

  • Oceanside OCC will be offering contacts for a limited number of escort boats. Priority will be given to clubs who travel the If your club anticipates needing an escort boat, you should communicate your need(s) to Oceanside OCC rep andreasouther@yahoo.com by Sunday, August 14th
  • Currently there is a shortage of escort boats available in Therefore, we highly recommend securing your own boat – we are doing our best…..
  • All clubs are responsible to contact their escort boat Skipper directly as well as provide the $700 donation regardless of whether they support one or both races.
  • If providing your own boat, please insure it meets the SCORA guidelines, the skippers sign the SCORA waiver, and upload their insurance information here: Escort Boat Skipper Waiver

Rigging Canoes

Canoes can be unloaded directly onto the beach and rigged on the sand.

Canoes can be carried/carted along the beach to access the launch ramp

Launching Canoes/Escort Boats

  • Please DO NOT bring your canoe to the launch ramp area until all paddlers are available to launch. When the Canoe hits the water, it needs to leave the dock! Canoe launching is in the two South launch ramps only. (This is for both launching, changing crews for the afternoon Men’s race, and exiting).
  • Please DO NOT have your Escort boat dock at the Coast Guard Dock until all paddlers and gear are ready to After crew is loaded, evacuate the area and head to the main Harbor channel to wait for your assigned canoe.
  • The morning is always a bit crazy so patience, flexibility, pre-planning, and the Aloha Spirit will help make it a smooth and efficient morning.
