We had an amazing and peaceful boat ride for my mother’s bday! We brought along our 6 month old and had no issues at all. It was seamless. Love that we were able to bring our own food and drinks!

We had the best time on Whispers with Captain Charlie! It was informative, lighthearted and fun. Well worth the money for a relaxing time.

Great trip. Charlie knew a lot about Santa Barbara. The weather was beautiful and we were able to see a lot of sea life.

My group of friends and I found this to be the perfect, private tour of the Santa Barbara coast, which we highly recommend. Our captain, Charlie, was the perfect guide, as he provided many laughs and great music, and was an impressive wealth of knowledge! Don’t forget to BYOB!

Our captain was wonderful, told us a lot of interesting facts about the area as we cruised around the port. We couldn’t go too far out because of the weather which was a shame but it was fun!
