Join us for a nighttime passage and three-day sailing adventure to Santa Barbara Island, the smallest of the California Channel Islands, located 38 miles west of San Pedro.

While only 639 acres in size, Santa Barbara Island formed by underwater volcanic activity, boasts diversity in its habitats, with a few narrow rocky beaches, six canyons, and badlands area.  After arriving at Santa Barbara Island, crewmembers will anchor the boat for the night.   The following day will include a visit to Elephant Seal Cove, and a passage to Isthmus Cove on Catalina Island.  Crewmembers participate in all aspect of the offshore cruise including steering, navigation, watch standing, sail handling, log keeping and cleanup. 

This is an ideal opportunity to get beyond Catalina as you learn more about big boat cruising and an excellent trip to prepare  for our Northern Channel Islands Cruise, chartering or owning your own boat.
