The cruise agency has been cruising the California Channel Islands for Education, Recreation and Research since 1968, making it a long-standing and experienced operator in the region.
The cruise agency offers a variety of trips, including year-round transportation to the local islands of Santa Cruz and Anacapa, as well as limited schedule trips to the outer islands of Santa Rosa, San Miguel, and Santa Barbara.

It is essential to arrive at the harbor of departure at least 45 minutes before scheduled departure to ensure a smooth check-in process and to allow time for loading gear onto the boat. Late arriving gear may not be loaded onto the boat.
The Whale Heritage Area (WHA) recognizes and accredits destinations that support and demonstrate responsible and sustainable whale and dolphin watching tourism. The cruise agency is proud to be one of the accredited organizations, promoting sustainable practices to ensure the conservation of the Santa Barbara Channel.
The National Park Service's official app provides tools to explore more than 400 national parks nationwide, helping to plan trips and enrich visits to Channel Islands National Park. The app is free and offers valuable information to enhance the overall experience.
