Indulge yourself! Come sail with us for a few hours or a few days aboard Sancerre our luxury 46 foot Jeanneau Sun Odyssey yacht. See Yacht Charter for details.
Or set up a soft-adventure tour around the out islands. See elephant seals, dolphins, maybe even a whale or two.
Or book an economy charter on our seasoned Catalina 36 that can run from 2 hours to several days.
Sail Channel Islands also provides private sailing lessons in an American Sailing Association (ASA) school that can take you
from a novice sailor to a competent skipper at your own pace.
Our other sailing services include weddings and funerals at sea.

Summer Sailing Report
Come here and cool off! If you live in The Valley (or someplace hotter), this is the place to be. It may seem crazy to you, but bring a sweatshirt or sweater.
Join us aboard Sancerre for a half day, a full day ... or several days. Gift certificates available for any time of year
Whales! Dolphins!
The Whales of Summer are arriving: Blues, Humpbacks and Finwhales, and we've seen huge pods of dolphins. Of course, seals and sea lions are near the Ventura coast in large numbers all year long.
Inquisitive and
playful, dolphins frequently come over to take a look at us as we sail.
