Dear Beneteau Owners and Friends:
 
South Coast Yachts and Beneteau America cordially invite you to attend the 2020 Beneteau “L’eau Key” Rendezvous! This year’s event is scheduled for August 7th-8th at Isthmus Cove, Catalina Island.  As you can probably imagine, it will be different this year and what an interesting year we’re having!   Considering the restrictions imposed by the county for “No large group gatherings” and the suggested Social Distancing, we’ve decided to head to Catalina anyway!…. BUT we will not have any large gatherings on land at Two Harbors. We are all heading over on our boats to enjoy the weekend and we will organize some fun “socially distanced” functions on the water only, listed below.   Here are some details:
 
  • There will not be any charge for the L’eau Key Rendezvous of 2020.
  • We will sell T-shirts with the very cool L’eau Key logo. Please email info@scyachts.com with quantity and sizes before July 15th.
  • You will be on your own for food and beverages for the weekend.
  • We will have donated Beneteau and Zodiac gifts and prizes for the events below*
  • We will send the Harbor Master a list of attending boats, so please register with us at info@scyachts.com Moorings are not guaranteed (as usual).**
  • Food and Bar services at the Isthmus are OPEN, and so is the General Store.
  • We are very sorry that we are not allowed to serve you with our big shoreside parties, but we have already reserved the 2021 dates and facilities to bring back the big fun you expect. We’ll all have fun anyway with this “L’eau Key Rendezvous”!
 
**Moorings are first come /first serve, but if you are registered, they are expecting you. Please join dozens of other Beneteau owners and friends for this fun and festive weekend. As of 6/15/20, there is NO SHOREBOAT SERVICE!   Please plan to bring a dinghy or email info@dinghydr.com to acquire one.
