C2C Inc has been providing licensed, bonded, and insured port agent services since 2003. With over 21 years of experience, we have successfully executed approximately 1250 arrivals and departures. Our seasoned agents know CBP staff by first name, understand the language used when dealing with officials, and are well-versed in the legalities and work flow around standard and uncommon customs-related tasks.

What sets us apart is our ability to evaluate the current operational status of the yacht IN ADVANCE OF ARRIVAL, and determine any risk factors working with customs, immigration, agriculture, harbor authorities, USCG and others. This level of expertise ensures that we can eliminate risks and look after the best interests of the yacht, crew, and owners.

It is always essential to do your homework and hire the right agent, just like hiring a new crew member, check references and qualifications. Young agents with a few months or even a few years of experience do not have the expertise required to handle these complex tasks. Mistakes made with CBP can be very costly, pick the right agent the first time and every time. ( tip: never walk in front of the person with the gun !! never ever. )

Since our establishment in 2003, C2C is the go-to expert in California for securing shipyard and berth space. With the cruising superyacht fleet expanding globally, the competition for available berths and shipyard slots is intensifying. Over the past 21 years, C2C is the choice for the superyacht fleet, especially for those new to the West Coast. Our expertise in berth allocation spans numerous key locations, including:

- Ensenada, Mexico
- San Diego
- Newport Beach
- Santa Barbara
- Morro Bay
- Monterey
- San Francisco Bay
- Eureka
- Crescent City
- Brookings
- Astoria
- Portland

San Diego is notably the most sought-after destination for visiting superyachts. San Diego facilities cater to a wide range of yacht sizes: we offer at least 9 options for yachts up to 50 meters LOA, 7 options for those in the 50-70 meter range, and 4 locations for superyachts over 70 meters, up to the largest vessels afloat.

Planning your berth space in advance is crucial when coming to the West Coast. Contact C2C today to explore all available options tailored to your operational needs. AYSS - Association of Yacht Support Services

Hiring the right support for your superyacht is crucial. To ensure you get the best service, it's important to ask the right questions when hiring an agent. Here are a few suggestions on what to ask for:
- Proof of legal status as an agent business
- Confirmation that the agency is on the ground where support is needed
- List of at least 20 superyacht clients in the past 5 years
- References you can contact from at least 5 superyacht clients in the last 3 years

Don't know where to start your search? The Association Of Yacht Support Services (AYSS https://www.ayss.org/ ) can help. AYSS is a global network of vetted and verified agents. Contact them at [email protected] for suggestions.

Choosing the right agent from the beginning is crucial. Don't risk a negative experience by having to change agents in the middle of a port stay. Do your homework and pick the right agent. AYSS - Association of Yacht Support Services

NFL Super Bowl LVI is coming to Los Angeles to be contested on February 6, 2022. In addition, 94th Oscars is on Sunday February 27, 2022. That leaves 20 days to recover between the events. At C2C inc we are already receiving inquiries for berth space to cover both events. Before the events, cruising in Mexico and Central America is peak season, and after a March / April / May maintenance period in San Diego.. head on up to the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. It all fits together well during these challenging times. Contact C2C inc now to find out about berth space, compliance and logistics to attend these world class events, and about the cruising too.
