Channel Islands Area Cruise 2026

The Northbound Long Cruise - Destinations: Ventura, Channel Islands or Harbors, Ventura, King Harbor

15 Max, First 10 boats will be eligible for berthing arrangements. The remaining 5 can attend, but use public docks on their own arrangements.

Starting on Labor Day, the idea is that some folks may already be in MDR For the Labor Day cruise, and therefore will continue up to Ventura. If not, then leave from home and then meet up in Ventura.

After that, there is Group A who will venture to the islands, and group B who will do a couple of days in Santa Barbara and then a couple days in Channel Islands Harbor.

The groups will get back together at Ventura, finally we make our last stop in King Harbor.

Group A will log approximately 250 miles, while Group B will log approximately 175 miles.

Note that Ventura Yacht Club and Pacific Corinthian YC are the only 2 reciprocals. Anchoring is free at the Channel Islands. Otherwise slips and mooring balls are paid separately.

Also be aware that dogs are not allowed on the islands, and people need a permit to go onto the islands. Contact scilandingpermit@tnc.org or http://nature.org/cruzpermit/ for a permit; allow at least 10 business days for processing.
