Join us for a seven-day offshore adventure - island hopping from Newport Beach to Santa Barbara Harbor and back.
We plan to spend our first night out at Catalina, then the little jewel of Santa Barbara Island followed by a visit to Santa Cruz Island before sailing into Santa Barbara Harbor on Wednesday afternoon.
For the return to Newport Beach, we will spend the first night at either San Miguel or Santa Cruz Island depending on conditions, then down to either Santa Barbara Island or Catalina before sailing into Newport Harbor on Saturday afternoon.
Students will be directly involved in route planning. The objective of any route is to challenge and instruct without takin unnecessary risks. Routes and destinations may change due to weather/safety and seamanship reasons.
This is an excellent course for students who have completed Basic Cruising Certification and are ready to pursue their US Sailing BAREBOAT Cruising Certification. If you choose this option, please register for the certification course scheduled for the same dates.
Class size: Min 4 – Max 5 students
