The Reviews We Earn by Doing
Exactly What We Promise

Most arrive unsure what to expect. They all leave the same way.

'Would definitely go again'

Captain Jon and his wife Megan are the best. They are so kind and catered to our every need on and off the boat. Megan is such an excellent chef — she scratch made almost everything. Such a nice boat with every accommodation you need.

BRANDON

'A delight you won't soon forget'

From a gathering with friends to a business meeting, this is a delight you won't soon forget. Megan crafted a delicious menu of clam chowder and lobster. Jon is a knowledgeable and laid back captain and both he and Megan are very hospitable.

ELLA

'Definitely recommend'

Captain Jon and team were incredibly accommodating. The food was excellent and the boat was lovely. Definitely recommend using Channel Islands Executive Charters out of Oxnard Harbor.
