Boaters, kayakers, and paddleboarders – get ready to drop anchor, launch your craft, and enjoy live music right on harbor waters! The Channel Islands Harbor is thrilled to announce its second annual “Concert on the Sea,” a floating celebration of music and community just for on-the-water adventurers.

Concert on the Sea will take place from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 12, 2026 at the Harbor’s main turning basin. For years, the Harbor has hosted the popular Concerts by the Sea summer series on land – now they are taking the show to the water!

Don’t have a vessel? No problem!

There are several great rental options right in the harbor:

• Hopper Boat Rentals at Fisherman’s Wharf offers electric boats, kayaks, and paddleboards.
• Channel Islands Kayak Center at Marine Emporium Landing provides kayak rentals.
• Southern California Jet Skis & Electric Boats, also at Marine Emporium Landing, rents electric boats.

So grab your friends and family, pack your snacks, and join us for a truly unique on-the-water concert experience. No tickets, no fees – just good music, good company, and great harbor vibes.

Stay tuned for details on our next performer!
