Go sailing in the Santa Barbara Channel

Spend a few hours sailing with Capt. Dan cruising the Santa Barbara Channel this season and explore the Ventura coastline of Southern California. We can have lunch catered for you, or, on longer cruises, we'll barbecue at anchor. Or consider setting out an hour or two before sunset and enjoy nature’s best show with a glass of champagne.

Becky sails Wiley in Santa Barbara Channel We’ll set out to go sailing from Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard whenever you say and return at your pleasure in the Sailing Vessel (S/V) Wiley, a Catalina 36 yacht or Sancerre, our luxurious 46' Jeanneau.

We can take up to six passengers on Sancerre and four on Wiley. You can charter the Wiley for half a day for $550, all day for $700 or for two hours for $350. Sail around the nearest oil platform in three or four hours or to Anacapa Island and back in a day. Click here for Sancerre Rates

If you want more of a sailing adventure, consider a two or three- or even seven-day sail around Santa Cruz Island or all of the Northern Channel Islands. Sancerre can accommodate 6 passengers on day cruises and four overnight. Wiley does day cruises for up to four people.

Tom aboard Wiley at Morse Point How about a sail to Santa Barbara? We'll cruise up the California coast and dock in downtown Santa Barbara. You can spend the day at the beach or shopping State Street’s fabulous shops just steps away. Have dinner at one of the Santa Barbara's fine restaurants or have a barbecue aboard. Return to Ventura at a leisurely pace the next day or extend your trip and spend a night at historic Pelican anchorage at Santa Cruz Island.

Each of the extended cruises is custom-planned. Pick your route, your anchorages, your menu and your vintages. Choose anything from San Diego to San Francisco.
