Impress Friends With A Channel Islands Yacht Rental

By Shawn Hunter


If you are looking to relax, going out into the open water is a great way to do it. You get to commune with nature and breath in the fresh sea air while enjoying water activities. If you live in or near Oxnard, CA, it is just a short drive to get to the harbor and enjoy a Channel Islands yacht rental on your own or with a small or large group.

There are many types of tours you can purchase, depending on the size of your party and your needs. A very common one is a short tour, which is only a few hours long. Some charters do fun morning tours where you can watch as the sun rises, or sunset tours which can be incredibly romantic. These are usually booked by the hour or a flat fee for a set amount of hours.

Food and beverages are may be available, depending on which cruise you book. If you only reserved a four hour tour, you might only get bottled water and maybe a few soft drinks to choose from, possibly with some food to nibble. An all day tour might include one or more meals and snacks, along with a larger selection of beverages. Alcohol may be available, though it may incur additional cost.

If you decide for a longer tour, there are day tours that last all day and possibly into the evening. In this case, lunch is usually provided, along with snacks and drinks. Once again, alcohol could cost extra unless you get an all inclusive package. You don't stay overnight, but you will be gone for most of the day.

Perhaps you have dreamed of staying overnight on the ocean without having to go on a week long cruise ship. You can charter a private yacht for an overnight trip to allow the fun to last even longer. You have access to a full bathroom with shower and a stateroom with a comfortable bed for sleeping. Meals and refreshments are included, and you may even get entertainment such as music or movies. The availability of multiple staterooms varies from ship to ship.

A really great treat that you can have when booking a day or overnight trip is the chance to explore the beautiful Channel Islands National Park. This is a set of five islands within easy boating distance of the harbor that a real local treasure. With pristine coastlines and gorgeous local wildlife, this is a great place for camping, hiking or relaxing and watching the sun go down.

Your ship may stop and allow you to do all kinds of fun water based activities as well. For example, you could go swimming out in the ocean or try your hands at more rigorous sports such as kayaking or paddleboating. These fun amenities vary from ship to ship, so enquire in advance to see what there is.

You do not need any sailing experience, since your yacht rental will be fully crewed, including a captain. If you are lucky, they may even let you take the wheel for a bit. They can guide you safely onto a fun adventure that will help you make lasting memories.
