Important Note: Our boats depart out of two different harbors located about five miles apart. In this trip schedule VTA indicates a departure from Ventura Harbor. OX indicates a departure from the Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard, and NA indicates no trip available on that date. Be sure to arrive at the correct harbor for your trip departure. Day visitors should arrive at least 45 minutes prior to departure. Campers and kayakers need to arrive one hour prior to departure to pre-board equipment.
