You are not missing the concert.
You are hearing it from the harbor.

A polished, nostalgia-rich night on the bay for a classic Southern California concert crowd. JADA anchors alongside the Rady Shell, giving guests a more relaxed, more atmospheric night than the usual venue routine.

Reserve Your Spot

A Better Concert Night for James Taylor

A calmer, more elegant alternative to packed venue seating, parking, and concession lines.

BYOB, done elegantly

Bring your own wine, champagne, or beer. No liquor-license overpromising. No corkage. Your night, your taste.

Your own picnic

Bring charcuterie, sandwiches, sushi, or a packed luxury picnic. JADA is the setting, not a catered-meal promise.

Actual live performance

The Shell sits right on San Diego Bay. You hear the real show from the deck with skyline views and harbor air.

Practical Answers

Will I really hear the live show from the boat?
Yes. The Rady Shell is an open-air waterfront venue and sound carries clearly over the bay. This is the actual live performance, heard from the deck.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Yes. BYOB and your own picnic are part of the concept. We do not describe this as an open bar or catered event, and we do not promise hot food service.
How does payment work?
Your booking request creates a short hold. You then use the payment method you selected at checkout. For manual methods, include your confirmation number in the payment note. Once payment is confirmed, you receive a paid confirmation email.
Where do I board?
Choose Harbor Island Sheraton dock or the Coronado dock by the jet ski rentals near the Ferry Building once JADA is anchored.
How do I verify the official event details?
