Although it's hard to imagine it now, there was a time in Santa Barbara before Lil' Toot, the city's legendary water taxi. First launched in 2003, the yellow boat with a smile has ferried hundreds of thousands of people between the two key points of the local waterfront, Stearns Wharf and the Santa Barbara Harbor. The Celebration Cruises fleet expanded over time to include Azure Seas, the 70-ft. multi-level yacht and Whisper, the only electric charter boat in the Santa Barbara Harbor. Lil' Toot provides narrated water taxi rides and private events, Azure Seas is a premiere option for sunset cruises, whale watching, private events and our newest vessel Whisper is by private charter only - book by the hour for only $99 per hour for an relaxing and comfortable harbor cruise. Celebration Cruises expertly trained captains and crew want everyone to see the best view of Santa Barbara - from the water.
