Channel Islands
Schedule 2026
Channel Islands Harbor cruises include visits to various anchorages at Santa Cruz Island. It is a great way for newer club members to experience cruising with guidance from seasoned skippers. It is also a great way for knowledgeable skippers to give back to the club. Join a club cruise for fun camaraderie at the islands!
For 2026 we have 1 whale watch and 4 cruises planned from March to October, led by our cruise chair, Dan Beck. For more information, see the club calendar.
