Don’t miss your chance to chart a course for adventure!

Set foot on deck, meet the crew, and learn the ropes of schooner life. Hear captivating sea stories and discover how the Mystic Whaler keeps maritime traditions alive.

We will meet by the "Deepwater Diving Monument" first for check-in and then spend the first hour by dockside (on the boat) for a "pre-party" followed by a 2 hour private sail.

Hoist the sails and step back in time aboard the Mystic Whaler, an 83-foot, two-masted schooner modeled after 19th-century coastal vessels. Built in 1967, this ship blends maritime history with modern adventures. Mystic Whaler is a gaff-rigged schooner owned and operated by Central Coast Ocean Adventures (CCOA). Launched in 1967, the ship spent her first 25 years operating in the northeast. In 2021 she was purchased and relocated to Southern California by CCOA, a 501(c)3 nonprofit committed to making engaging adventure-inspired learning and the extraordinary Santa Barbara Channel more accessible to the communities of Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.

Don’t let this ship sail without visiting —come aboard and make waves with the Mystic Whaler. Anchors aweigh!
