Fifteen Men.
Open Water.

You've built something. You've sacrificed for it. And somewhere along the way you realized that success at the highest level is lonelier than anyone tells you.

This is the answer to that.

Not a networking event. Not a mastermind. A brotherhood — fifteen high-performing men, once a month, on the water. Adventure that sharpens the mind. Food worth showing up for. Conversation that actually matters.

We sail. We eat well. We talk business — the hard calls, the pivots, the things you can't say in a board meeting. We talk life — the weight of being the provider, the protector, the one who's supposed to have the answers. We help each other carry it.

And when the right opportunity surfaces, you'll know fifteen men who can move on it with you.

A Day on the Water

What a Day
Looks Like

Private yacht. Private chef. Open water. Fifteen men. Every month is different. Every month is worth it.

The Island Club — The Lunch Round

The Experience

The Lunch Round — Once a Month. Ten Minutes Each.

01

The Vessel

A private 60ft yacht, a captain, a first mate, and an onboard chef. No strangers. No schedule beyond your own. Just 15 of you and open water.

02

The Men

Every member is vetted. Accredited investors and $1M+ operators who show up fully. You know the man across from you has earned it. That changes everything about the conversation.

03

The Table

The chef runs a full spread from boarding to dock. Morning bites, a proper lunch at sea, full bar all day. Some of the best conversations happen over a good meal on open water.

04

The Circle

Once a month over lunch — ten minutes each. Your business, your relationships, what's testing you right now. No pitch decks. No pressure. And when the right deal surfaces, this is the group that moves on it together — because the trust is already there.

05

The Adventure

MDR runs the coast to Malibu or pushes out to Catalina. San Diego tours the bay and moors in Glorietta. Every month is a different destination. Every session is worth showing up for.

06

The Brotherhood

The brotherhood stays alive between sessions in a private Telegram group — real introductions, real advice, real opportunities. Five crossover seats open each month. And when the right investment surfaces, 15 men who trust each other see it differently than 15 strangers in a room.

A Day on the Water

The Day

From the marina to the horizon and back. Choose your chapter and your route — every month is a different adventure.

Marina del Rey departs on the Sunset Trio — our 63ft private yacht. Choose your destination:

⚓ 10AM Departure · Marina del Rey → Malibu Coastline · 4PM Return
10:00 AM · Boarding
Welcome Aboard — Sunset Trio

Pull up to the slip at Marina del Rey. Coffee, morning bites, and the easy energy of men who know they're exactly where they want to be. The captain briefs the route as lines are cast off. No agenda yet. Just arrive.

MDR Harbor Departure
10:30 AM · Underway
Open Deck — Find Your Conversation

The marina shrinks behind you. The first 90 minutes are completely open. Find the conversation that matters, get a drink, watch the coastline open up. This is where the first real connections form — no forced introductions, no name tags.

LA Coastline Cruise
12:00 PM · Lunch
Lunch at Sea — The One Agenda Item

The chef serves a full lunch on deck as we cruise toward Malibu. Once everyone has a plate, one casual round — 10 minutes each. Whatever's on your mind — your business, your relationships, what's testing you. Then eat, talk, and let the Pacific do the rest.

The Round · 5 Min Each
1:30 PM · Open Water
Afternoon Drift — Malibu Coastline

The afternoon is yours. The Malibu coastline scrolls by, the bar stays open, and the conversations go wherever they need to go. Deals get discussed. Introductions get made. Friendships form. No clock watching. No agenda.

Malibu / Coastline Route
4:00 PM · Return
Back at the Slip

Golden hour return into Marina del Rey. The bar stays open until docking. Nobody rushes off. You leave with a few people you genuinely want to talk to again. That's a good day.

What Comes Up

How Men Talk
Out Here

No agenda. No facilitator. When 15 good men spend time on the water, this is what happens.

🌊

Nothing Planned

Some months there's no agenda at all. You show up, eat lunch, watch the coast scroll by, and talk to whoever's next to you. Those are often the best days.

🤝

Life & the Real Stuff

Marriage, relationships, family, purpose. The weight of being the provider, the protector, the one who always has to have the answers. Men carry this — and carry it better when the right people are in the circle.

💰

Deals & Decisions

Members bring live situations — acquisitions, pivots, exits, partnerships — and get direct feedback from people who've been through it. No consultants. Just men who've done it.

📈

What's Working

Revenue models, systems, team challenges, AI and automation. The real talk of building something that compounds. No theory — only what's actually working right now.

🗺️

The Adventure Itself

Catalina, Coronado, Malibu, San Diego Bay, open water. The route is part of the experience. Half the conversation happens while you're watching the coastline and not thinking about any of the above.

🥂

Good Food. Good Drinks.

The chef runs a full spread from boarding to dock. Some of the most important conversations in this club happen over a shared meal with nowhere to be.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Members must be either a verified accredited investor (per SEC definition — $1M+ net worth excluding primary residence, or $200K+ annual income) or an active business owner generating $1M+ in annual revenue. We also look for men aged 30–50 based in Southern California who show up fully when they're in a room. Character and generosity matter as much as the financial qualifications.
You show up, meet 14 other vetted operators and investors, and spend six hours on a private yacht. The chef runs a full spread from boarding to dock. Once a month over lunch, the host runs one casual round — 60 seconds each, one thing you're building, one thing you need. That's the only structure. Everything else is open conversation, great food, and the Pacific Ocean.
Once per month per chapter. Sessions run 10am to 4pm — six hours on the water. Enough time to go deep without destroying your week. This cadence is intentional: frequent enough to build real relationships and deal flow, rare enough that it stays an occasion worth showing up for.
Each month 5 crossover spots open for members from the opposite chapter to attend the other location's session. First 5 to claim them in the private Telegraph group get the spots. No extra charge — crossover access is included in every membership. Spots open two weeks before each session. They go fast.
Cancel anytime from your member portal — no phone calls, no awkward conversations, no cancellation fees ever. There is no monthly contract. Billing stops at the end of the current month and your seat releases to the next person on the waitlist immediately.
Yes. There is no mandatory agenda beyond one casual circle over lunch — ten minutes each, completely optional to share. Everything else is open water, good food, and men who genuinely want to be there. The introductions and opportunities that happen are a natural result of being in a room with the right people, not because we forced it.
Not at all. Most members have never owned a boat. You don't need any sailing experience or nautical knowledge. The captain handles everything. You just show up, be yourself, and be genuinely interested in the men around you. The water is the setting — not the subject.
The Island Club is founded by Ryan Kirk, owner of Island Boat — the private yacht charter operating the Sunset Trio in Marina del Rey and the Sunset Duo in San Diego Bay. Ryan reviews every application personally and is at every session. This is not a managed program or a corporate product. He started it because he wanted to be part of it.
