Literally , the boats have covered canopies! Coordinate with your crew on who's bringing what, and ensure you have snacks, drinks, and music! Is that too slow of a pace for you? Well then, an hour ride on some Jet Skis will do the trick! That's more of my speed anyway! The jet skis fit two people, but I prefer my own. They are way too much fun to share! I'm not getting stuck behind someone, holding on as passenger. I need to be driving! As you exit the marina area you're forced to go slow. Don't let that fool you. Once you move past the designated area, outside the jetty's, then you're allowed to open up the throttle! All the way! You quickly get going on these guys! There is so much to see out there in the sea! If you're lucky enough to ride out near the oil platforms, you'll get to catch a view of Sea Lions and Dolphins. It's a truly 'freeing' sensation to be out there among the wildlife and sail boats. While an hour sounds short for many, this is plenty of time for an adventure. I regularly visit during the summer months. The price point is reasonable. It's money well spent!

Santa Cruz Island was beautiful. The air here is pristine. I felt sick when I woke up with a headache and a little weird on the ship but the second I stepped onto that island the fresh air took me to 100%, and I was totally fine on the way back. We hiked the trail to the right as you get off and had amazing views at the top. Unfortunately it was difficult to get a reservation to be able to go, stay a few hours and leave on another ship. Everything was booked like 2 weeks out. The only availability was a boat in that arrived late because we stopped for the whale (worth it!) at 3:45, and we had to board to get back on at 4:30. Wish we had more time, but it was worth the trip. They must be a popular ferry because it's difficult to book what you want unless you book way in advance. The ferry stopped again on the way back to Ventura to pick up a balloon so the dolphins don't eat it, and when we took off again a pod of dolphins were surfing in the waves from our boat...
