Since 1987, Sunset Kidd's offers Sailing Cruises along the Beautiful Santa Barbara Coastline. Based upon a love of sailing, this is not a typical tourist ride! We turn the engine off and showcase our love for the sport. Yes, it's wind in the sails and water lapping up against the boat... that's what we offer. This is NOT a narrated "tourist" type of ride, where the engine stays on! If you're a sailor, then we invite you to participate in the handling of our beautiful 41 foot sailing ketch. Our thoughts: People come to Santa Barbara to get away from the crowds... so we are thinking about heading out onto the Pacific Ocean... packing 49 passengers or more on a sailboat is like.... STAYING IN LOS ANGELES! Sunset Kidd's maximum passenger load is only 15 passengers.

Nice sunset, beautiful shoreline and sounds of water against the boat. We enjoyed the staff. Ticket taker, waiter and helmsman. Cheers.

My husband and I never get sea sick and have been on lots of boats but felt absolutely awful on this trip. I was actually dry heaving off the back of the boat for a while. I'm not sure if the...
