Concerts ON the Sea at The Channel Islands Harbor - music by Once More

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 first-ever “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 6, 2025 at the Harbor’s main turn basin. This exciting new event is part of the Harbor’s 60th Anniversary celebration, created to give the boating and paddling community a unique way to join in the fun. 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!

Aboard the sportfishing vessel Estella, local favorite band “Once More” will rock the harbor waters with a mix of classic hits – Chicago, Aretha Franklin, Tom Petty and more. Whether you’re on a boat, paddleboard, or kayak, you’ll have the best seat in the house floating right in the main basin.

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.
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.
