History
Malibu was originally built for the Adamson and Rindge families of Malibu, California. Rhoda May Knight Rindge and daughter Rhoda Adamson commissioned the yacht in 1925 and owned her until 1937.
Her third owner, Thomas F. Hamilton developed a resort in British Columbia, Canada, named 'Malibu Camp' (Malibu, British Columbia).{{Cite book

}} The camp is now owned and operated by Young Life. The 'Malibu Rapids' navigation channel at the entrance to Princess Louisa Inlet, near Malibu Camp, is also named after the yacht.
Malibu was purchased by Wells McCurdy in 1973 and reconfigured with raised wheelhouse and other arrangement changes.
On July 3, 2002, Malibu sank after running into a rock in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. There were no injuries, but the yacht had to be extensively rebuilt and was re-launched at Seattle's Foss Shipyard in 2003.{{cite news |last=O'Quinn |first=Ryan |date=Sep 4, 2003 |title=Shipwrecked yacht 'Malibu' gets $2.4 million overhaul |url=http://www.malibutimes.com/life_and_arts/article_ebd134be-7d46-561b-bda9-b57fa8bcf2e6.html |work=The Malibu Times |access-date=Sep 22, 2019 }}{{cite news |last=Rivera |first=Ray |date=July 8, 2003 |title=Historic yacht pieced together for more than $2 million after capsizing |url=https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/20030708/malibu08m0/historic-yacht-pieced-together-for-more-than-2-million-after-capsizing |work=The Seattle Times |access-date=Sep 22, 2019 }}
