A 1930s Yacht Once Host to Churchill Reopens in Marina del Rey

Once a sanctuary for Winston Churchill and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the 135-foot Northwind yacht has officially docked at Marina del Rey’s F-100 slip as a permanent, public-facing hospitality destination. The restored vessel bridges 20th-century maritime prestige with a modern, sea-to-table culinary program directed by Chef Charles Voudouris.

Permanently moored at the California Yacht Club, the yacht now functions as the harbor’s only publicly accessible upscale food-and-beverage venue. The interior design fuses original 1930s heritage details with contemporary fire features and custom lighting, creating a setting for weekend brunch, private events, and seasonal chef collaborations. The project aims to anchor Marina del Rey’s identity by offering a cinematic experience that connects guests directly to the water.

Chef Charles Voudouris, whose background includes stints at Noma and the Versace Mansion, leads the kitchen with a menu focused on coastal ingredients and artisanal craftsmanship. The dining program emphasizes shareable plates, curated wines, and handcrafted cocktails served across the ship’s open-air decks and intimate dining rooms. According to Jeff Weiss, President of the California Yacht Club, the goal is to transform the vessel into a living piece of history where visitors feel they are participating in a multi-generational narrative rather than simply dining at a restaurant.
