A Little About Island Packers
Island Packers was founded by Bill M. Connally, who wanted to provide a means for people to venture out to the Channel Islands. His wife, Lillian Mae, sons Mark, Kirk, and Brad, and daughter, Cherryl, worked hard helping him to fulfill his dream.
For Bill, the islands were a special place; he fell in love with the clear waters , rich marine life and kelp beds surrounding the islands. He yearned to share that passion with the public. He was intrigued by the fact that a person could board a boat in a busy port such as Ventura and in a few hours set foot on an island where there were no hotels, restaurants, autos, or other features of metropolitan life, a place where nature remained dominant.
Anacapa is the closest island to the mainland, just 12 miles from the Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard. Most of Island Packers departures to East Anacapa Island are from our location in the Channel Islands Harbor. Travel Time is approximately one hour, a little longer if we come across interesting wildlife in the channel.
The channel crossing takes about one hour and a little longer when we encounter marine life along the way.
