Lounge Parties and Barbecues
Schedule

We'll have parties throughout the year in the lounge, most on Saturday nights.

We'll have fun, talk sailing, and plan the next sail or party.
Take a look at the schedule.
Bring only a positive attitude and a willingness to have fun! You'll meet plenty of fellow sailors, and you will be welcome whether or not you are "in theme." These parties are a great place to exchange sea stories (or whatever), plan the next sail or cruise, and just relax, so come and join us!

Please make a reservation and tell us how many of you are coming
no later than the Tuesday before each party.
Call the Office at (949) 493-9493


Mardi Gras - Feb 27 at 7pm

Mardi Gras first came to the French Quarter of New Orleans back in 1699. It was celebrated by early explorers on the banks of the Mississippi. Now it is celebrated by parades, beads and masquerade balls. It is no longer just a New Orleans or French holiday - it is celebrated around the country, but mainly (and most strenuously) in the South.

The literal translation of Mardi Gras is "Fat Tuesday". It is the day before Ash Wednesday, when the Catholic season of Lent begins. Lent is a season of penance, sacrifice and introspection. Mardi Gras is anything but that. It is a time of decadence, over indulgence and just plain fun!

Bright colors are everywhere during Mardi Gras, but there are three dominant or official colors. Purple, Green and Gold. These colors are said to be representative of justice (royal purple), faith (green) and power (gold).

Casino Night II - Sept 18 at 7pm
Lady Luck makes a stop at Club Aventura tonight, and you'll want to be there! Play blackjack, roulette, and craps Las Vegas style without losing a month's pay. The only money you'll spend will be your admission price for the evening, which will include plenty of "play" money for gaming, and a lavish hot and cold finger food buffet, easily enough for dinner. So find a hot shooter, blow on the dice, and come to Aventura!
Halloween Come as You Are or Aren't Party

Holiday Boat Parade Party - December 11
Watch the Dana Point holiday boat parade from our balcony. And, of course, A Visit From St. Nicholas! Yes, the jolly old elf himself will be handing out gifts in the Aventura lounge. This is a not-to-be-missed part of the harbor holiday season!
