Leave beautiful Santa Barbara Harbor and set sail to Santa Cruz Island the largest of the Channel Islands. Enjoy the two and half hour sail and be sure to keep an eye out for migrating whales and pods of dolphins. As you approach this undeveloped rugged island, set anchor in Pelican Bay. Enjoy kayaking and stand up paddle boarding around the caves and kelp beds. Head back to the boat in time for appetizers and afternoon beverages while the sun sets. Enjoy another creative meal prepared by Chef Sherri with paired local Central California wines. Wake up slowly and have breakfast while watching all the sea life and birds around the anchorage. Go for a morning hike and explore some of the ruins of the Pelican Bay camp which was a very popular destination in the 1920’s. Santa Cruz island has a very rich history, from the indigenous Indian inhabitants to the failed commercial pursuits of old. Pull anchor and set sail to Fry’s Harbor, another beautiful unspoiled anchorage. Fry’s Harbor was used as a location for many films during the early days of film making, which featured it’s rugged landscape. More kayaking, snorkeling and hiking around the anchorage. Pull anchor and set sail back to Santa Barbara arriving with time to enjoy the active waterfront area.
