Q & A

Yes. Reservations are required.

Please call for our local weather conditions. It frequently is not raining in the Channel Island Harbor when it is raining elsewhere in Ventura County. We may still be able to take you out on your cruise. If you want to reschedule, or we have to cancel due to weather conditions, we will charge your credit card and send you a gift certificate so you can come another day.

Try to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. If you are late for your cruise, your gondola will still return to the dock at its scheduled time. You will receive a shortened cruise that will fit into the time you booked for your cruise.

There is no charge for children 11 years old and younger, but they will have to wear a life jacket. We can provide one for the gondola cruise.

Food and beverages are not provided, but you are welcome to bring outside snack food and beverages. Cups and bottle openers are provided.

Each cruise is 50 minutes.

Yes. Cruises are private for you and your guests. A gondolier is always on the boat.

However you like. It is a good idea to bring a jacket or sweater for the evening cruises. We do provide blankets and you can always bring your own.
