The Baileys of Balboa is an American sitcom that appeared on CBS in the 1964–1965 season on Thursdays at 9:30pm ET. Many episodes were directed by Gary Nelson and Bob Sweeney. The series was broadcast from September 24, 1964 to April 1, 1965. The series was developed due to network president, James T. Aubrey, believing that Gilligan's Island, which premiered the same season, should be about a charter boat captain operating in a marina. The Baileys of Balboa was produced by Richelieu Productions, owned by Keefe Brasselle, a friend of Aubrey.

Overview

Sam Bailey is a laid-back widower who operates a charter boat, The Island Princess. Sam lives with his son, Jim, on a tiny island he owns, which happens to be in the middle of Balboa, a yachting community. Jim Bailey is in love with Barbara, the daughter of Commodore Wyntoon, and the romance is the only reason Sam and the Commodore are somewhat civil to each other. Buck Singleton is first-mate (and entire crew) of The Island Princess, and Stanley is an annoying boy who lives nearby.
