All rentals are weather permitting. Wind and swell can close the dock at short notice. If the forecast looks marginal, call before you drive over.

Hours shift with the seasons and with daylight. The times above are what we publish — a quick call to (805) 642-7753 always confirms.

After dark

Evening pedal boat times

Night-lit pedal boats run Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings by appointment. Launch times follow sunset, so they move earlier through the year.

Booked services

Private harbor tours run in daylight hours. Charters aboard the Dreamer, December holiday cruises and memorials at sea are scheduled individually around the vessel’s calendar rather than to fixed opening hours.

Come early on a sunny weekend

Rentals are first come, first served, and the dock gets busy on warm Saturday afternoons. Late morning is the easiest time to walk straight onto a boat.
