Where do I begin? This is one of the most important moments in my life - proposing to my future…read morewife. Choosing Spencer/Sunswept Sailing for this moment was perfect. He called me the day before and first asked if we expected to get married (a fair question considering a surprise out at sea might be dangerous, lol). He asked if there was any music to put on for our ride - classic rock was a great choice. We arranged to meet at 6 PM and play off the sunset cruise as a birthday surprise as opposed to a proposal - she bought it completely. We got lucky and were able to see a mother whale and calf traveling north for the first 30 minutes of the trip. It was fun hearing Spencer communicate with the other vessels on the radio to let them know there was a whale nearby. Spencer coordinated to where about 45 minutes in as we headed back south to the harbor (and away from other boats) to go up to the front of the boat for the big moment. He used his own phone to take photos and video of the moment I proposed (afterwards airdropping them to my phone which was very considerate). The timing was great, but even afterwards Spencer was hanging off the sail and getting the wildest angles of us as a newly engaged couple - a true testament of how considerate and beyond words he was to make this moment special. He kindly opened champagne and poured us a couple glasses to celebrate as we nestled in near the harbor and enjoyed the moment - accompanied by dolphins and a beautiful sunset. I am without words for how perfect this day was. Spencer was the best captain and truly a gem of a human for making this proposal special. He truly made everything work perfectly. I guarantee we will be back for another boat ride with him. Thanks a million, Spencer!

We were pleasantly surprised that the crew took our drink orders and brought our drinks right to us in our seats. It was WAY better than most boats where you have to wait on a bar line and climb the stairs with a handful of drinks. We didn't partake in any of the offered snacks, but they looked good. The crew were very personable and helpful. The captain cruised us around looking for dolphins, which we did finally spot, and the crew pointed out some sites along the coast. We were very lucky to have a warm evening so we did not have to bundle up like the other reviews mentioned. We enjoyed talking with other guests and overall it was a wonderful evening. Definitely recommend and would do again when in SB!

We called to confirm the credit was still being honored, they were very accommodating. We reserved a space for 2 on a Wednesday for the Sunset Catamaran Sailing Cruise at 6:00PM. There's a meeting spot at the SB Sailing office at the SB Habor. Paid parking is available. We were able to walk from our hotel to the meeting location. Our sail was practically a private sail. There were about maybe the most 14 people, which was so nice. The crew was a Captain and his Assistant, both were very nice Unfortunate Mother Nature did not provide any wind that evening so the Captain had to use engine power that whole evening (it was a very tame ride). The sunset was beautiful glad we did it and it wasn't crowded. I think it worth doing once. Helpful hints: We went May 6th, I wore pants and a long sleeve shirt plus wore a light weight padded jacket and I was fine. It was cold and quit a few of the other passenger were freezing. The sail boat does supply blankets and 2 restroom and drinks and snacks purchase.

If you don't like living life on the edge, stick to electric scooters. You are in a low buggie car driving the streets of Santa Barbara surrounded by big cars. But for some reason, it works in this town. People see you and are actually courteous enough to be careful around you. Some drivers do get irritated and go around you, but everyone is kind for the most part. Here is my advice: -When you first get going, find a quiet residential neighborhood street to practice and get comfortable with the controls. Don't rush yourself. NOTE: these cars DO NOT reverse, so if you get stuck needing to back up, you'll have to power off the car without putting it in *park mode* and physically back it up yourself. This is a design flaw but it won't ruin the fun. -Go with a group of people and drive in a single-file line, one behind the other. Only do two people to a single buggie ***IF*** you are with other people in their own buggies. This increases safety. -This is not the time to show off. This is not the time to be careless. This is the time to be extra careful and put all of your common sense and ***DEFENSIVE*** driving skills to use, not OFFENSIVE driving. You are the little guy, so be safe and smart. People surrounding you in their cars will respect you more for this. -Take breaks often in open parking lots and quiet spaces to keep your group together. This will also give you time to see how everyone is feeling, communicate any issues, relieve any tension. Trust me. And most importantly, HAVE FUN. You will put smiles on many peoples faces, including your own! So many people waved and whistled and clapped. It kind of brings the community together and adds to the beauty of Santa Barbara. Enjoy!

I also love that cars honk and folks wave happily and cheer you on as you pass by!

I also love that SB Buggie created a Google Maps navigated tour that takes you to all of the best stops in SB! All you have to do is click the link they provide on your phone and you're set!
