Fun boat tour..great sightseeing n wildlife - Had a great time on this small voyage with my cousin who was visiting California from her home state of Iowa. We both loved the experience itself: the ocean waves, the sights and sounds + sea lions. The staff was super sweet and attentive. Jojo was truly awesome and very attentive, knowledgeable and kind. Thanks to the crew for the great trip!

Santa Barbara Cruise - Very relaxing, crew is friendly. Upgrade to have access to the upper deck, well worth the $10 extra. Nice narrative during the cruise.

Nice boat ride of the scenic coast! Seating was available on the main deck both outside and inside to choose comfort. - Nice boat ride along the coast from the wharf. Seating available outside on the deck and inside. Bring a jacket as the ocean breeze can be a chill. Lovely trip, just the right amount of time.

Not narrated tour as promised - Music, relaxing, drinks offers but not as promised narrative tour. Not learned anything, just laidback and sun bathing.
