Where Entrepreneurs Come Ashore
An exclusive group of founders and entrepreneurs who meet regularly to share experiences, support each other's growth, and build lasting friendships over great food and conversation.
Where Entrepreneurs Come Ashore
The Island Club is a relaxed gathering of founders, operators, and entrepreneurs who meet monthly aboard a private vessel. No rigid agenda. No forced networking. Just good people, great food, and real conversation about business and life.
Think of it as a crew—people who get what you're building, who understand the weight of responsibility, and who show up not because they have to, but because they want to. Between gatherings, you've got a direct line to members across two chapters.
Two chapters. Two coastlines. One club.
How It Works
A private gathering designed for real conversation, good people, and honest support. Here's what makes The Island Club different.
A 55–65ft private yacht with a captain and onboard chef. Fifteen of you. Open water. No crowds, no agendas we didn't set, and no one trying to sell you something.
Founders, operators, and entrepreneurs actively building something. The screening is real — we're looking for people who are serious about their work and serious about showing up for others.
A full lunch prepared on deck. Everyone eats together. The best conversations happen here — the ones that lead to partnerships, referrals, and real friendships.
A single structured topic each month—something worth talking about. Not a lecture. A conversation with people who understand your world.
Hours of uninterrupted time with your peers. Business talk. Personal talk. The stuff that matters. You leave with perspective you couldn't have found alone.
Direct access to everyone in the room. An active private channel. Members help each other with intros, advice, and support. The real value is the ongoing connection.
Day at Sea
No rigid agenda. One 20-minute structured lunch. The rest is conversation, connection, and time to think.
Coffee, breakfast, and time to settle in. No agenda yet. Just people arriving, catching up, and finding a seat on deck.
Sunset TrioThe day unfolds naturally. Grab a drink and find the people you want to know. Talk about your business, theirs, the industry, or just life. Some days there's a guest expert or a structured topic. Other days, it's all open.
Chef serves on deck as we cruise the LA coastline. One quick round-robin — what are you working on right now? One win, one challenge. Then everyone eats and talks for real.
The Only Agenda ItemThe day ends when the day ends. You leave with three or four people you want to work with or grab coffee with next week. That's a good day.
Coffee, breakfast. The boat heads out. Time to relax and see who else showed up this month.
Sunset DuoThe day unfolds however it needs to. Find the people doing interesting things. Ask questions. Listen. Share your own work if it feels right. The conversations happen naturally.
Chef serves on deck as we cruise San Diego Bay. One quick round — what's moving the needle for you? Then you eat, look at the Coronado Bridge, and talk to whoever's sitting next to you.
The Only Agenda ItemThe day ends. You have new connections, new perspective, and probably a new friend or two. That's the whole point.
Conversation Threads
Monthly topics emerge from what members are actively working on. These are the conversations that happen at the table.
What's actually working. What people are deploying. What's worth your time right now and what's not.
Acquisitions, partnerships, financing. People bring real deals to the table and get feedback before moving.
Content, brand, positioning. How to build an audience and become known for what you do.
Revenue models, scaling, systems, operations. The practical work of building something that lasts.
The stuff off the spreadsheet. Family, health, balance, meaning. Real talk about the person behind the business.
Some months, there's no agenda. You just show up, eat lunch, and talk to people. That's a good day.
The Fleet
Two chapters. Two world-class vessels. Each purpose-fitted for an experience that is equal parts productive and spectacular.
Investment
Membership is month-to-month. No contracts, no annual commitments. When a seat opens, it fills fast — and they don't open often.

Member Voices
"I closed a $400K partnership deal with someone I met on the second session. The ROI on this membership is not even a conversation."
Founder, SaaS · Marina del Rey Chapter
"I've paid $25,000 for masterminds that didn't deliver half the value. The combination of caliber people and the environment is just different."
E-commerce Operator · San Diego Chapter
"The AI session alone restructured how I think about automation in my business. I've cut 15 hours a week since implementing what came up on the boat."
