Great staff, and extremely convenient. They have an excellent selection of boats that are always in good condition and well maintained.

I have been going to SBSC for almost twenty years and I love it more now than ever. They have plenty of giant charter boats ready to sail as well as a whole class of one design boats. Their staff is friendly, pro, and Ian as well as Skip run the ship in the best way I have ever seen any sail club run in the world! I always rent my boats from this location, they do support the effort to keep our families together by offering a complimentary whale watching tour to any reunited child and their left behind parent! The pricing is better than anywhere you will find for the variety of charter boats and the morals are observed every time we visit!

I rented an SUP board from the Sailing Center and it was the best part of my day!! The paddle around the harbor and out on the ocean was so beautiful, their boards are rad and top notch, and the people at the sailing center are the nicest, most welcoming crew. I highly recommend the Sailing Center for an ultimate Santa Barbara experience.
