in the last weekBooked the Double Dolphin for a private sunset cruise and it was truly spectacular. The boat is very spacious and well-equipped and the captain (Chris) and crew (Callie) were so helpful and friendly and really went above and beyond to ensure that we were taken care of the entire time. We opted for the catering vendor the sailing co. works with and they provided an ample spread of delicious food. The office manager (Addy) was so helpful throughout the process and answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. We'd love to do another trip with them again!

7 months agoI loved every bit of this cruise! Everyone on board was so pleasant and the captain knew all about the area and wildlife which was fun to hear about. Also gave great recommendations on great cocktails in the area. Would have booked back to back nights had the cruise tonight already been fully booked. Will be back very soon! Thank you!

6 months agoWhat a wonderful time we had on our 12 pm cruise of the Santa Barbera coastline!! We didn’t see many sea animals but it was a relaxing and beautiful day! The captain was engaging and shared some fun facts about the area! There were only 4 of us on the boat so it felt as if we were having a private tour!! This was the last day of my 2 week Birthday trip and it couldn’t have been any nicer!! Thank you Santa Barbara Sailing Center!!
