Always great to get out on the water and take in the views - Kirk and crew did a great job keeping us hydrated and the sunset in front of us.

Wow! What a fabulous cruise! Book now; you will not be disappointed!

Wow, what a wonderful experience! The staff was incredible. We paid the extra $10 per person to have priority boarding, service, as well as the option to sit upstairs. The captain was amazing and kept us entertained. The views of Santa Barbara and the coastline were captivating. The sunset was spectacular. Highly recommend!

A complete waste of time.

Extremely rough waters. Captain Kirk wasn’t funny in the slightest. Saw nothing other than a few seals by the harbor. No interesting commentary. When we got there they told us we had the cheap seats via Viator and we would to pay to upgrade.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry your experience fell short of expectations. We value all guest feedback and will share your comments with our crew as we continue working to provide the best possible experience.

Sea worthy

We had a whale of a time! From the moment we left the harbor, everything went swimmingly. The crew was fin-tastic, the sunset was absolutely breathtaking, and the sea lions completely stole the show. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, which dolphinitely made the evening even more memorable. It was an otterly unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our California trip. No fluke—we’d sea-ze the day and book this tour again without hesitation! 🌅🦭🐬🌊

Operator response

Thank you for your kind words, Noah! We are thrilled you had such a memorable time with us. It's wonderful to hear that the dolphins, sea lions, sunset, and our crew made your trip unforgettable. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

Fair experience

Fair experience. Boarding process seemed chaotic. Sat on main deck, up on bow. Not very comfortable seating. Decent value, would do again but I’d keep closer eye on weather. Very overcast on our trip so not great sites except for water.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback, Doug! We are glad you found the cruise to be a good value and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you aboard again for another enjoyable trip!
