THE SANTA BARBARA CHANNEL TEEMS WITH FISH

The Santa Barbara channel is a nutrient-rich area where cold water upwellings meet warm water currents to form a nursery ground for the best fishing in California.
Captain Rob Durfos of the Zuma has been fishing the channel for eighteen years. He knows where to find the fish: halibut, lingcod, rock cod, sea bass, and white sea bass. Blue-water fish like albacore, yellowtail, skipjack, bonita, hammerhead and thresher sharks, and even, upon occasion, marlin.

DEEP SEA SPORT FISHING
A private fishing boat like Zuma can travel far from the heavily-fished waters where the party boats gather. It's a personal and intimate way of fishing.

DIVING FOR LOBSTER
The Channel Islands have hundreds of miles of rocky coastline--perfect breeding grounds for lobster, abalone and scallops. Spearfishers find plentiful halibut, calico bass and rockfish. For photographers there are extensive kelp forests, rocky reefs, and myriads of underwater caves.

BLUE WATER FREE DIVING
For those with a taste for the exotic, ZUMA offers a nearly lost art: free diving. Scuba gear makes noise. Snorkeling through kelp beds, free divers find big game that scuba divers never see: huge yellowtail and white sea bass, giant barndoor halibut, lunker calico, even tuna ....
