A cruise to the Channel Islands aboard Betty is a wonderful way to explore this incredible area for the first time. Known for their rugged, and pristine beauty and their windy coastlines, the islands make for challenging and spectacular cruising. Weather permitting the cruise will include visits to Anacapa, Santa Cruz and either Santa Rosa or San Miguel Islands. Most nights are spent at anchor, with ample time for exploring ashore. Everyone rotates duties on board including sail handling, steering, anchoring, watch standing and cleanup.
The cruise is designed for sailors who have acquired intermediate skills and is perfect for sailors seeking an overnight cruising experience. The course fee includes all permits and meals.
Students who have earned a US SAILING Basic Cruising Certification may complete their US SAILING Bareboat Cruising Certification on this cruise. An additional fee will apply. Please contact the office if you choose this option.
