Coastal Cruises From Stearns Wharf

"Wonderful way to relax and enjoy some beautiful evening views of Santa Barbara at sunset. Kathy booked for us at the last minute and was just so helpful. The crew was so nice. Light appetizers are included but you must purchase any cocktails you desire. We really enjoyed this cruise after a long day of driving."

"Super clean boat and friendly staff. Nice spread of food and reasonably priced drinks. My two older kids sat with the captain the whole time and he was super sweet to entertain them and answer all of their questions. Captain Taylor rocked!"

"The crew was very friendly and helpful. We had beautiful views of Santa Barbara and its surroundings. The appetizers were delicious. The boat was clean and comfortable. If we have the opportunity, we will do this again."

"The boat is super nice, stocked with great wine, Perry was INCREDIBLE, and the whole things was a perfect experience. For the price, we will literally do this EVERY time we go to Santa Barbara - best $20 I've ever spent!"

"Perfect way to wine and dine (well with appetizers!) our out of town family and friends for our rehearsal dinner. The best way to show off our beautiful city. The staff were so wonderful, kind, and accommodating."

"We went on a one hour evening cruise on the Whisper electric boat. We tooled around the harbor, ducked out into the ocean, watched the surfers ride at Sandspit, enjoyed the view of the mountains in the setting sunlight, cruised back into the harbor to watch the waves crash over the sea wall. It was great. Our party of four had a great time, and we'll definitely consider doing it again, especially when we have out of town visitors. Captain Perry was a super nice, easy going guy, and he did a really good job. Will definitely recommend it to friends and family. As a bonus, the fact that the Whisper is electric makes it very quiet and peaceful, adding to the appeal of the little mini cruise."

"I don't normally write Yelp reviews but really feel I need to this time. We couldn't have been happier with our cruise on the Azure Seas! We booked this cruise as a pre-wedding "excursion" for guests who were joining us from out of town and it was a huge hit. Kathy went out of her way to make booking and arranging the cruise stress free - which given the general stress of wedding planning was a welcome relief. She linked me with a fabulous catering service and even facilitated the drop-off of the food delivery so that I would not have to worry about that myself. Not only did Kathy make the whole process easy but the staff on board that day did a phenomenal job of making our guests feel special and were quick and accurate with all drink orders. Drinks on board were very reasonably priced which was also a big hit with our guests as often these types of activities overcharge for drinks. Overall, Kathy and her team played a huge role in setting the tone for our whole wedding weekend and we are incredibly grateful. Thank you!"

"I live in Santa Barbara and I decided to checkout the Sunset cruise. What a great idea! it was such as a nice and relaxing trip. Romantic music (excellent trip for couples), the staff was super friendly, and the captain was great. I would love to go back soon for sure. Highly recommended."

Charter the Whisper for a maximum of 6 for 1 hour, bring your own lite fare and some wine, and enjoy a pleasant time in and around the Santa Barbara harbor.

This was a fun sunset cruise. We enjoyed the beautiful weather of Santa Barbara on this cruise and really had a cool time.

As part of a bachelorette weekend for my sister, I bought 5 seats on a sunset sail with Celebration Cruises. The experience was easy from start to finish -- booking was a breeze, the instructions on where to meet the boat were clear and helpful, and the boat ride itself was just wonderful. The crew took care of everything. And the views of the SB coastline were insanely worth it. This was a huge highlight of our trip, and I would definitely recommend checking it out!

Everyone at Celebration Cruises is customer focused and wants to assure that you have an enjoyable experience. Service was great. The cruise along the coast is spectacular with a lovely trek through the Harbor for a great view of the many boats, and the sea lions. Sunset was lovely and the journey was smooth all the way.

We chose the Sunset Cruise, as my husband and I were celebrating aour 11th Anniversary. We are so glad we did. It was beautiful, romantic, and peaceful. We paid a little extra to go to the top deck, just for adults. Glad we did, the bottom is a family friendly environment. The ship itself is beautiful, and staff is wonderful. Would definitely do it again.

Had a lovely sunset cruise on board. The captain was accommodating and even extended our trip to see a pod of dolphins!
