Buckle up for Pacific Offshore's biggest Expedition yet!! This is our first ever TWO DAY trip, and the main event will be a marathon covering 230+ nautical miles of island coastline and open ocean. Elevated opportunities for sightings of rare whale species exist along the way, in particular Beaked Whales and Killer Whales. We will of course be stopping for sightings of cetaceans along the route.


We have consulted with various authorities, and determined that an Expedition of this kind has never before been attempted. You will be able to make the lifelong claim that you were among the first to accomplish this feat of ocean navigation.


Departing just before sunrise from Channel Islands Harbor and concluding at sunset in Avalon, Catalina, day 1 of our trip will involve visitation to all 8 of the Channel Islands by boat. After spending the night in Avalon, the following day we will whale watch our way back to Oxnard (a 65 mile trip).


Highlights along the way will be:


-Anacapa Island's Arch

-Santa Cruz Island's Painted Cave

-Santa Rosa Island's Torrey Pines

-San Miguel Island's Cuyler Harbor

-San Nicholas Island's Sea Otter Colony

-Santa Barbara Island's Arch and Islets

-San Clemente Island's Navy Seal Training Village

-Santa Catalina Island's Avalon (hot food, hotels, and bars)


Please digest the details about this once in a lifetime Expedition: 

-This trip can only be attempted in a "weather window" of calm conditions. We can only speculate if the weather will be good enough on the date listed. For that reason, please join the wait list to express your interest in coming aboard. A waitlist order does not obligate you to join, only showing you are interested in this date or a future date. We will reach out to you to confirm the date of the trip as aligning with our requirement for calm seas. We insist the weather must be perfect in order for this trip to be attempted.


-This is a two day trip. The first day we will be departing Oxnard at sunrise, traveling to all 8 of the Islands, concluding with Catalina at sunset. The second day we will return by boat to Channel Islands Harbor, Oxnard.

-You will be responsible for booking your own overnight accommodations in Avalon. 

-The only island that we are permitted to set foot on is Catalina. 

-The ticket price covers both days aboard the boat.
