Relaxing coastal cruise! - This cruise was very enjoyable! My daughter and I did this on our first afternoon in Santa Barbara and it was a great first-day activity to get out on the water and enjoy the beautiful scenery!

Smooth Sailing - I flew in from New Orleans to meet my UCSB college roommate for a reunion trip to Santa Barbara. We decided to take the cruise and had a marvelous time. Our crew member was so friendly and provided great service. Captain Larry was equally engaging. I would highly recommend this to others. It was smooth sailing!

Fresh air new friends, SO CAL at its best!! - We were in Ventura for a reunion and decided to take a drive up to Santa Barbara. Walking out onto the pier. We decided to check out the coastal cruise on the Azure Sea. If you are in Santa Barbara, this is a chill sea breeze voyage not to be missed! Dolphins, Sea lions, a good bottle of red hosted by a wonderful crew. A+++ thank you for making our trip

Well worth the time and cost - Very enjoyable trip, courteous crew. An excellent way to see the city from the ocean and get perspective up and down the coast.

Amazing Blue Waters - Our group was celebrating the union of my husband and I. The group was a bit late and the lady at the front made an accommodation to move us on the next boat trip. We did not know we would get the entire yacht practically to ourselves!! Which was such a gift. We were greeted by lovely staff that guided our trip. There was an entire bar onboard and they made amazing drinks. During the trip my husband got sick and the staff immediately offered him help and moved him to the back where it was most stable. The cherry on top is getting to see dolphins swimming all around us! We will definitely be back! 100/10

Rockin' and rollin' boat - For me, a boat trip is essential for a coastal vacation. This cruise was a great experience for the price. We sailed on a foggy afternoon where there was just enough haze to obscure the view of the channel islands from the shore of Santa Barbara. I ended up with these really cool hazy videos of the ocean with bits and pieces of their apparently California-themed playlist, which was very heavy on the Red Hot Chili Peppers' music. They played it at a moderate volume throughout the cruise. There was a little green buoy with several seals/sea lions providing free entertainment. My main complaint is that the soft drinks were pretty flat but overall it was a worthwhile experience with friendly staff and a sturdy and clean little yacht.

Thank You - It was a nice 60 min get away. My husband was happy. A special shout out to him for his birthday made his day. Everyone was so kind, and that is a 10 in my book. The only thing missing was , waste baskets to put empty wine glasses 🍷 after used. Everything else was awesome. THANK YOU!❤️

NEVER book with viator - Viator guys are fake and loot money, They did the booking and took money, when we went to the location at Coastal Cruise on Yacht in Santa Barbara. They said they had no spots available. How difficult it is to manage these things with 2 kids, we planned birthday party and everything was ruined. NEVER book with viator.
