This horseshoe-shaped harbor spans 310 acres of land and water, including 166 acres of navigable water surrounded by 126 acres of land. It serves as a premier waterfront resort, recreation, and dining destination, and is the fifth largest small-craft harbor in California.
The harbor supports more than 2,500 vessels across nine full-service marinas (including Anacapa Isle Marina, Bahia Cabrillo Marina, Channel Islands Harbor Marina, Pacific Corinthian Marina, Peninsula Yacht Marina, Seabridge Marina, Ventura County Commercial Marina, and Vintage Marina), a public launch ramp (free to use), transient docks with showers and electricity, and four yacht clubs: Channel Islands Yacht Club (founded 1960, 400 members), Pacific Corinthian Yacht Club (full-service with year-round events), Silver Strand Yacht Club, and Ventura-Port Hueneme Yacht Club.
Additional facilities within the harbor include a U.S. Coast Guard station, Harbor Patrol (24/7), dive centers, boat charters, and the Cal State Channel Islands Boating Center. The harbor is a key departure point for ferries to the
Channel Islands National Park, with Island Packers offering daily trips to Anacapa Island and other locations in the Channel Islands.
