Captain MartIn

Captain Martin (“Mar-teen”) Santos is a lifelong sailor, long-time USCG-licensed captain, and certified PADI rescue diver.

Since growing up at his family marina in Argentina, he’s always been most at home and happy on the water.

After settling in Santa Barbara, he fell in love with the pristine beauty and abundant marine life of Channel Islands National Park.

Captain Martin is known locally for his knack for finding pods of dolphins, spotting whales far in the distance, scallop diving for fresh ceviche, and his fun, easy-going nature.
