A fun afternoon for visitors and locals - I was visiting my daughter for the weekend and decided to take a touristy route. The yacht was very nice and the boat ride was very scenic. Even my local family felt it was a lovely way to spend an afternoon. Highly recommend we’re out of town and locals with visitors.

Relaxing cruise - Great way to see the city. The crew was very friendly and made the experience worthwhile. The ocean was calm and the sunshine was perfect.

- We took this harbor tour on Friday @ 1:30 and throughly enjoyed the short 1 hr trip. It was great to be out on the ocean and we were surprised how calm it was, considering the winds were picking up on the land. The crew was great and there's nothing like sipping a drink on the ocean.

A pleasant cruise on a boat. Nothing more, nothing less. - You get exactly what you pay for with this coastal cruise. At first, I thought we were going to go up and down the coast and someone was going to tell us all about the history of the area and point out points of interest, etc. But there was none of that. You board the yacht, which is clean and comfortable, and the staff is professional and courteous. They offer you assorted beverages and snacks and the ship just motors out for 30 minutes, makes a lazy U-turn, and motors back. They played soft rock from the 80s and 90s over the chefs PA system. And that was pretty much it. Once I recalibrated my expectations that I was just going for a boat ride I was fine. The vessel was safe and I was comfortable and enjoy the beautiful ocean and the nice weather. I will share with you one tip. If you’re not a big fan of walking, you might want to consider driving to the end of the pier and parking your car there. The pier is pretty old and the wooden planks are somewhat uneven and there are bolts sticking up that you have to walk on, not uncomfortable, just rather annoying. I was quite surprised to discover cars parked at the very end right next to the area where you board the ship. I don’t know how much it costs, but I would’ve liked to have known about it as a possible option. I think it would’ve made the experience a little more enjoyable for me.

Santa Barbara harbor cruise - It’s a pleasant cruise and the crew is nice. Drink prices a bit high but ok. Only saw some seals, no other wildlife. Minimal talk on what were the sites. A nice time out for the price.

This is NOT a tour. It's... - This is NOT a tour. It's just a short cruise on a yacht with a cute little bar inside to purchase drinks. You get to enjoy the ocean with friends and or family either on the main deck(inside or outside) or the top outside deck(for a little extra fee).

Late afternoon cruise - It was very hard to hear the person on the intercom. We were expecting more of a guided tour- explanation of what we were seeing and a narration/ description of historical background of the area.
