Join us on our 70′ multi-level yacht, Azure Seas, as we disembark from Stearns Wharf to see the abundant sea life off the coast of Santa Barbara and into the Channel. While it is the gray whale migration, we are still in the backyard of other amazing animals that could be seen on our trip, too, like graceful humpback whales, playful bottlenose dolphins, adorable sea lions, and more. Azure Seas has both upper and lower deck seating offering 360-degree views of the water with our Mediterranean like coastline, Santa Ynez mountains, and the Channel Islands as a beautiful background.

5.00We had a mix of beautiful weather and some foggy cool temperatures. The cruise itself and the way it was conducted was Top Notch and professional. We saw only a few whales from the distance but no disappointment as the overall experience was great. Highly recommended.
