Lil' Toot - - a Santa Barbara tradition since 2003. The cute little, yellow tug that plies Santa Barbara Harbor each day has put a smile on over 95,000 bright shiny faces since 2003.

Voted best boat ride in Santa Barbara by elementary school kids and teachers.

From the Wharf to the Harbor - Take Lil' Toot from Stearns Wharf to the harbor where you'll find great restaurants, incredible scenery, the Maritime Museum, and more.
