Issuance of General Lease – Recreational Use – Lease 6411

The California State Lands Commission is authorizing the issuance of a 10-year General Lease for Recreational Use, effective January 1, 2027, to the Newport Harbor Yacht Club. The lease grants exclusive access to a pier, ramp, floating platform, and two mooring anchors for recreational maritime purposes. The agreement will run through December 31, 2036, providing long-term stability for the yacht club’s operations within California state waters. All activities under the lease must comply with environmental regulations and state land management policies, with oversight retained by the Commission. Point of contact for inquiries is Robin M. Tuohy, Environmental Scientist at the California State Lands Commission, reachable via phone or email. The lease is part of the state’s broader effort to manage public aquatic lands for sustainable recreational use, and the project is documented under California’s environmental review system with the identifier 2026070301. No solicitations or set-asides are applicable as this is a direct authorization to an existing entity with established recreational use on the premises.
