Description

Trade in your sleigh for a paddle board! Join Santa and friends for this cheerful holiday tradition on the water. Visitors can rent a kayak, stand-up paddle board, or festive pedal boat from Ventura Boat Rentals (C Dock, below Brophy Bros. and On the Alley) and paddle alongside St. Nick himself.


Dress in your most festive holiday gear — Santas, elves, reindeer, or anything that spreads joy! The best-dressed Santa will win a special prize. After the group photo on the water, participants will follow Santa in a merry paddle procession through the marina to the Channel Islands National Park Visitor Center and back.
