From the Helm: Meet “Aqueous Solution” at the San Diego International Boat Show!

by

There is a specific kind of joy that comes from finding a yacht that feels twice its actual size. In my years of walking the docks at Sunroad Marina and beyond, I’ve seen many mid-size cruisers, but few master the “live-large” philosophy quite like the Carver C34 Command Bridge.

That is why I am absolutely thrilled to announce that our spectacular new listing, “Aqueous Solution,” will be making her grand appearance at the San Diego International Boat Show (SDIBS) from June 11-14!

 

This isn’t just an opportunity to see any cruiser—this is a rare chance to step aboard a one-owner, meticulously cared-for 2014 Carver C34 located right here in beautiful San Diego. If you are looking for a yacht that beautifully balances contemporary styling with rugged, reliable performance, this is the one you need to tour.

The “Right Fit” for the Modern Family

Whether you’re planning a fast run to Catalina or a slow, wine-and-cheese sunset cruise around San Diego Bay, this boat is designed for the way we actually live.

With a generous 13-foot beam, the interior volume is staggering for a 34-footer. It doesn’t just feel like a boat; it feels like a luxury waterfront condo. The master suite features an island double berth forward—a luxury you usually have to jump up to a 40-foot boat to find. Coupled with a guest cabin that easily converts from twins to a double, it’s the perfect setup for a family of four or a couple who loves to entertain overnight guests.

Specifications at a Glance

Feature Details
Boat Show Price $275,000
LOA / Beam 35′ 6″ / 13′ 0″
Engines Twin MerCruiser 5.7L (300 hp each)
Cruising Speed 24–25 Knots

The Highlights: Why “Aqueous Solution” Stands Out

This isn’t just “another” production boat. This is a yacht that has been loved, protected, and upgraded with an incredible eye for detail.

  • Turn-Key Performance: Powered by reliable twin 300-hp MerCruiser engines and featuring a recently rebuilt generator, she is mechanically sound and 100% ready for the summer season.

  • The Command Bridge: The flybridge features a premium 4-sided Strataglass enclosure and a safe, molded staircase instead of those shaky, vertical ladders. It makes it easy and safe for the whole family to head upstairs and enjoy the view.

  • Fresh, High-End Interiors: From the brand new Leatherette salon upholstery to a gorgeous, handmade custom dining table, the interior feels remarkably crisp, modern, and inviting.

  • Meticulous Maintenance: The owner has truly gone above and beyond. She boasts new upholstery (cockpit, aft bridge lounge, and salon), a new Bimini top, fresh carpet runners, custom decorator pillows, new batteries, a new windlass foot switch, and even new engine room noise-reduction insulation for a peaceful cruise.

Come See Her on the Docks!

“Aqueous Solution” is ready for her next chapter, and show weekend is the perfect time to imagine yourself at the helm.

  • Dates: Thursday, June 11 – Sunday, June 14

  • Location: Safe Harbor Sunroad Marina, Harbor Island, San Diego, CA

The docks get incredibly busy during the show, and I want to make sure you get a chance to see the massive interior space for yourself without fighting the crowds. To schedule a private, dedicated showing with me aboard the boat, please reach out ahead of time!

See you at the show!

One of my Featured Vessels for SDIBS: 2016 Beneteau Oceanis 38 “New Latitude”

by

The best weekend of the summer is officially on the horizon. From June 11-14, Harbor Island transforms into the ultimate playground for West Coast marine enthusiasts, and AGL Yacht Sales will be right in the center of the action.

Whether you are dreaming of offshore blue-water adventures, looking for the perfect weekend entertainer, or ready to upgrade your current slip, the San Diego International Boat Show (SDIBS) is the absolute best place to kick off your summer season.

I am incredibly excited to personally invite you down to our display to see our featured vessel. If you have been searching for a modern cruising sailboat that beautifully balances turn-key luxury with serious coastal capabilities, this is the one you need to see in person.

Featured Vessel: 2016 Beneteau Oceanis 38 “New Latitude”

BOAT SHOW SPECIAL PRICE: $199,000 | Location: Dock L17

I am absolutely thrilled to showcase “New Latitude” at the show this year. This LLC-owned Beneteau Oceanis 38 is a well-proven coastal cruiser that is diligently maintained, completely turn-key, and ready to sail away.

When I first stepped aboard this yacht, I knew it was something special. It is engineered perfectly for our Southern California boating lifestyle—equally suited for an effortless weekend sail across San Diego Bay or an extended, comfortable voyage out to Catalina Island.

Recent Upgrades & Servicing My Personal Take
April 2026 Fresh hull buff and wax. She gleams in the water and is completely show-ready.
2025 Upgrades Brand new AGM engine/house batteries installed, alongside the latest engine oil and filter servicing.
2024 Maintenance Complete bottom paint and new anodes applied, plus a premium ceramic coating for maximum hull protection.
Intelligent Layout A modern, open, and airy design that blends indoor comfort with outdoor living, making entertaining dockside or at anchor feel effortless.

“Navigating a major boat show can feel overwhelming with so many options out there. ‘New Latitude’ stands out because it completely removes the headache of post-purchase maintenance. The current owners have done all the heavy lifting with recent mechanical attention and cosmetic enhancements. It cuts through our afternoon chop cleanly while keeping your guests completely pampered.” — Leilani, Founder & Broker

Why Connect with AGL Yacht Sales at the Show?

Walking the docks is fun, but touring a yacht with a broker who knows the nuances of West Coast waters makes all the difference. When you stop by our display on Dock L17, I want to give you an experience that goes beyond a standard walkthrough:

  • No Fluff, Just Facts: We’ll dive deep into the technical specifications, recent upgrades, and real-world handling characteristics that actually matter to your cruising goals.

  • Off-Market Intel: The docks are the epicenter of industry networking. Stop by to chat with me about upcoming listings and off-market opportunities before they ever hit the MLS.

  • Tailored Consultations: Not sure if this specific boat fits your slip or your budget? Let’s sit down, talk about your lifestyle, and map out exactly what you need.

Show Details at a Glance

  • Dates: Thursday, June 11 – Sunday, June 14

  • Location: Safe Harbor Sunroad Marina, 955 Harbor Island Drive, San Diego, CA

  • AGL Yacht Sales Display: Dock L17

Schedule a Private Tour with Me

The docks get busy and lines can form quickly during show weekend. To ensure you get dedicated, uninterrupted time to explore “New Latitude” and discuss its ideal features, I highly recommend booking a private showing ahead of time.

Drop us a line at info@aglyachtsales.com or call (619) 323-1321 to secure your VIP walkthrough slot. I can’t wait to catch up, talk boats, and help you find your next adventure.

The Ultimate Waterfront Opportunity: Meet “Balena Blu”

by

By Leilani Wales, AGL Yacht Sales

 

In the world of yachting, we often talk about “finding the right fit.” Sometimes that means a high-speed sportfisher, and other times it means a sleek, modern cruiser. But every once in a while, a vessel comes across my desk that represents something else entirely: pure opportunity.

1972 Pacifica 48 Pilothouse Yacht AGL Yacht Sales

Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to “Balena Blu” (affectionately known as Baby Beluga), a 1972 Pacifica 48’ Pilothouse Yacht.

If you’ve been dreaming of the liveaboard lifestyle or searching for a “waterfront condo” without the million-dollar price tag, you need to see this boat. Currently offered as a donation vessel to Scouting America with an asking price of just $15,250, she is quite literally the best value on the water right now.

Space Like You Wouldn’t Believe

The first thing you notice when you step aboard Balena Blu is the sheer volume. Originally commissioned as a 44’ Pacifica, she was professionally extended with a 4’ cockpit. That extra length transforms the entire feel of the boat, creating a wide-open platform that is perfect for entertaining, fishing, or just soaking up the San Diego sun.

Inside, the salon is a breath of fresh air. With 7-foot headroom and massive windows, it doesn’t feel like a boat—it feels like a home. There’s an L-shaped sofa, a dedicated desk/printer station for the remote workers among us, and a layout that flows naturally into the galley.

A True Two-Stateroom Layout

Privacy is often the first thing sacrificed on older boats, but not here. Balena Blu features two spacious staterooms:

  • The Master Cabin: Features a full/queen berth and plenty of storage.
  • The Forward Cabin: Perfect for guests, also featuring a queen-sized berth and its own flat-screen TV.
  • The Head: This is a game-changer—it includes a VacuFlush system and a separate, full-size shower. No “wet head” gymnastics required here!

For the Hands-On Owner

For my fellow gearheads, the engine room is a dream. It’s a rare stand-up engine room, meaning you can actually walk around and access the twin Detroit Diesel 6-71 engines (228 HP each) without breaking your back. Whether you’re a seasoned mechanic or a DIYer looking for a project with “strong bones,” this setup is incredibly rare for a vessel of this size.

Why “Balena Blu”?

Let’s be real: at $15,250, this is an entry-level price point for an incredible amount of boat. She is a running vessel, but she’s also the perfect candidate for someone who wants to customize their own floating retreat.

Whether you want to take her out to the islands or keep her tucked away as your private harbor-side sanctuary, Balena Blu offers character and functionality that you just can’t find in modern production boats.

Ready to see her for yourself?

Opportunities like this don’t last long, especially when they support a great cause like Scouting America.

Give me a call at (619) 323-1321 or shoot me an email at info@aglyachtsales.com. Let’s get you out on the water to see if Baby Beluga is the new home (or hobby) you’ve been looking for!

See you on the docks,

AGL’s Spring Showcase: Your Ticket to the Water Starts Now

By Leilani Wales, CPYB – Broker/Owner, AGL Yacht Sales

Hello to my wonderful community of clients and fellow sea-lovers!

There is something magical about these first few weeks of March in San Diego. The air is beginning to warm, the days are stretching longer, and the Pacific is calling just a little bit louder. If you’ve been dreaming of spending your summer anchored at Catalina or chasing sunsets along the coast, I have a piece of advice for you: Don’t wait for the June gloom to lift.

I am thrilled to officially announce our AGL Spring Showcase. This is our premier seasonal event featuring the very best of our current inventory. With the weather warming up, now is the “sweet spot”—a chance to secure your dream vessel before the summer rush hits and competition for high-quality boats becomes fierce.

At AGL Yacht Sales, we pride ourselves on finding the “Right Fit,” and this year’s showcase features some truly exceptional sailboats and powerboats that are ready to go today.

Showcase Highlights: Featured Listings

Here are just a few of the standouts currently available in our showcase that you won’t want to miss:

Beat the Summer Rush

Buying during our Spring Showcase doesn’t just mean more choices—it means more time. By starting your journey now, we have the time to handle surveys, sea trials, and outfitting without the frantic pace of the high season. It means that when the first “official” weekend of summer arrives, you aren’t stuck in a boardroom signing papers; you’re already out on the water.

My door at Sunroad Marina is always open. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to trade up, let’s find the vessel that makes your heart beat a little faster.

I look forward to seeing you on the docks!

Warmly,

The “Right Fit” for the Modern Family

Whether you’re planning a fast run to Catalina or a slow sunset cruise around the bay, this boat is designed for the way we actually live. With a 13’ beam, the interior volume is staggering for a 34-footer. It doesn’t just feel like a boat; it feels like a waterfront condo.

The Highlights: Why This Vessel Stands Out

This isn’t just “another” 2014 Carver. This is a yacht that has been loved and upgraded with an eye for detail.

  • Turn-Key Performance: With twin 300-hp MerCruiser engines and a recently rebuilt generator, she is mechanically sound and ready for the season.
  • The Command Bridge: The flybridge features a 4-sided Strataglass enclosure and a molded staircase (no shaky ladders here!), making it safe and easy for the whole family to enjoy the view.

Recent Upgrades & Care

When I say “meticulously cared for,” I mean it. This owner has gone above and beyond to ensure this boat stays in peak condition. Recent improvements include:

  • New Upholstery: Cockpit, aft bridge lounge, and salon.
  • Comfort Upgrades: New Bimini top, new carpet runners, and custom decorator pillows.
  • Sound & Safety: New engine room noise reduction insulation, new batteries, and a new windlass foot switch.

Leilani’s Take

What I love most about the C34 is the Master Suite. Having an island double berth forward in a 34-foot boat is a luxury you usually have to jump up to a 40-footer to find. Coupled with a guest cabin that converts from twins to a double, this is the perfect setup for a family of four or a couple who loves to entertain overnight guests.

Ready to See Her in Person?

This Carver C34 is currently in San Diego and is ready for her next chapter. If you’re looking for a yacht that balances contemporary styling with rugged, reliable performance, let’s get you on board.

Making Waves: A Message from the Helm

by

To my wonderful community of clients—past, present, and future—

When I first co-founded AGL Yacht Sales, the name wasn’t just a business title; it was a tribute to family April, Gina, and Leilani. It was a promise to lead with soul, prioritize people over transactions, and help every dreamer find their “right fit” on the water.

Whether we’ve spent hours together walking through the teak decks of a Jeanneau, navigating the complexities of a closing, or simply sharing stories about the San Diego sunset at Sunroad Marina, you know that for me, boating has always been about the community.

But as many of you know, being a woman and a minority owner in this industry hasn’t always been smooth sailing. I’ve seen the “glass ceilings” and the “old guard” mentalities firsthand. While I love the salt and the spray of our world, I’ve often felt there was a missing conversation—a need to spotlight the grit and the brilliance of the women who keep our waterfronts running.

That is why I am so excited to share my latest project with you: The Women of the Waterfront Podcast.

This podcast is a labor of love. It’s a platform where we pull back the curtain on the marine industry, featuring the powerhouse women who make things happen. We’re here to challenge the status quo, celebrate female leadership, and build a stronger, more inclusive community for everyone who loves the sea.

Promoting Women Beyond the Docks

Because my mission with the podcast is all about lifting women up and amplifying their voices, I want to highlight an incredible local event that aligns perfectly with those values.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be attending San Diego Women’s Week! While I’m not behind the scenes of this specific event, I am a huge supporter of their mission. It is a fantastic week dedicated to inspiration, leadership, and the empowerment of women in our local economy and beyond.

Womens week in San Diego AGL YACHTS UPDATE

If you are looking to be inspired by world-class speakers and connect with a community of trailblazers, I highly encourage you to check it out. I’d love to see some familiar faces from the docks there!

Let’s Keep Moving Forward

Whether I am advocating for you in a high-stakes negotiation or interviewing a leader on the podcast, my compass remains the same: to guide you in the right direction.

  • Listen & Connect: You can find the Women of the Waterfront podcast on our YouTube channel or our website.
  • Let’s Talk Boats: If you’re looking to find your next vessel or ready to pass the torch on your current yacht, my door at AGL is always open.

Thank you for being part of my journey and for trusting me with your dreams. Let’s continue to make waves together.

See you on the water (or at Women’s Week!),
