6 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!

5 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!!

in the last weekIt was a lot of years ago, I chartered the Dolphin to spread my late wife’s ashes, it was a great celebration of life. The crew was very accommodating and professional. Planing on taking a cruise with SB sailing this summer to remember that day. I would highly recommend a private cruise

6 months agoWe had a great experience on the double dolphin sunset cruise! It was a beautiful evening and we saw many dolphins, sea lions, seals, and a beautiful Santa Barbara sunset. It was a perfect evening.

7 months agoWe celebrated my husband’s 40th birthday with a sunset sail and it was so special and memorable. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck and sipping champagne. The ride was calm and serene. Our party of 4 had so much fun. I will definitely be back and will add bringing my daughter along. So fun!
