Scorpion Anchorage Highlights

What You Need to Know & Bring

Please arrive at your harbor of departure 45 minutes before your scheduled mainland departure.

Pack food and drink for your time on the island.  A small cooler with a single handle or a backpack will help to protect your food from the small animals and birds that populate the islands year-round.  There are no shops or restaurants on the island.

Fresh/Potable water is available in the campsite area.

Visitors to the island must take all their trash with them when they depart the island.

Flat shoes with rubber soles are best for both the boat and the island. We recommend hiking shoes.  We suggest passengers do not wear loose or leather soled sandals or flip flops on your island adventure.

Weather conditions can change rapidly in the Santa Barbara Channel.  It is always best to dress in layers and bring a jacket/sweatshirt (even in the summer months).

Shade is available in the Scorpion Ranch area. There is no shade on trail. Hat and sunscreen is recommended even on overcast days.

Please Note

Once underway the channel crossing takes about one hour, longer if we encounter marine life along the way.

There are vault style restrooms, tree shaded picnic tables and potable drinking water available at Scorpion Anchorage.
