Instead of unpacking sweaters, we’re packing coolers. Instead of pumpkin spice, we’re pouring sparkling. And the only changing colors we’re interested in are the sunsets.

Tucked away in the Santa Barbara Harbor, the Sailing Center has been getting people out on the water since 1967.

The owner, Skip, started sailing at four years old on Cape Cod. He made his way west to Santa Barbara, joined the Sailing Center crew in 1992, and took the helm in 2000.

These days, you’ll find us floating right here on the docks—still doing what we’ve always done: getting people out on the water. Sea you down on the docks.

This one sold out fast.
We’ve been counting down to tonight’s Sipping on the Sea with T**a T**a Brewing Co. for weeks.

One of our favorite annual traditions, and even better, T**a T**a has been setting sail with us since the very beginning. We can’t wait to have everyone aboard tonight.

If you missed the boat (literally), we’ve still got a few Sipping on the Seas left this season. Link in bio to get on board.
