The 42-foot yacht slips past waterfront homes and multi-million-dollar yachts, the bay opening like a conversation that dares you to look up and slow down.

Newport Harbor was reshaped in the early 1900s by dredging and island construction; Balboa Island was developed as a residential and tourist area that shaped local boating culture.
