About me
Hi, my name is Charles. I am a 33 year old seafood distributor born and raised right here in Santa Barbara. I am a very easy going, kind of stereotypical California surfer kid. I have 3 children ranging from 6 to 10 years old and I am currently expecting a fourth. Santa Barbara has been my playground for over 30 years and I am still amazed and constantly reminded of how fortunate I have been to live and raise a family in such an amazing city. I am a 13 th generation Santa Barbarian. Beginning before Santa Barbara was really even on the map, my great great great great (6 more greats) grandfather was a prospector and gold miner who came to California for the gold, and stayed to make this wonderful city his home. I have been showing friends, family, and for the last few years, our Airbnb guests, all the wonderful things Santa Barbara and the surrounding areas have to offer. I’d love to take you to the waterfalls, hot springs, or maybe to get a different view of the city from one of the many chartered tour or whale watching boats. Or if your lucky, we may be able to arrange a private charter of one of our two private family boats. Come see the very best California has to offer. Make memories that I assure will last a lifetime!!! Thank you for considering me as your host and guide. Feel free to ask questions or for local tips. I’d love to help out any way I can.
My Offer

I have been enjoying the very best Santa Barbara has to offer for over 30 years. My life and career is primarily focused in the Harbor área and around downtown, the Mesa and Montecito. I want to hear about your interests. I want to know if you could choose anything, what your perfect day would look like. It’s not that I don’t know where to take you, believe me I am so full of ideas for epic adventures it would make you wonder how one could ever experience that much in just one lifetime. I would love to show you my favorite spots along the way too, I just want to make sure that your custom Taylor fitted experience reflects your interests and expectations. The possibilities are infinite. I’d love to show you the parts of Santa Barbara that strike your curiosity and interest and hopefully make a memory you and your loved ones can re-live over and over. I will take pics, hold purses, open doors, supervise kids, really I will do whatever it takes to make your trip to Santa Barbara one that you will treasure the rest of your life. Thank you soo much for your consideration of me as your host. I look forward to meeting, getting to know, and sharing my beautiful hometown with you. Please don’t hesitate to call or ask any questions or address any concerns you may have. My rate does increase by up to 10 dollars depending on the type of activity or if instruction is required (private surf lessons, horseback riding, fishing, or whale watching on my private boat). There are sometimes other fees, or admission associated with certain activities. I am sometimes able to provide vouchers for museums and other fun stuff too but there’s no guarantees and some promotional offers are not available during the high season (Summer). Weather I have the opportunity to be your host or not, I wish you all the very best experience possible!!!!

Impressed by Howard

We had a great time! It was a rainy day but our host was a hoot and made the trip very fun despite the rain. We were impressed by the amount of things we did. Thanks again and we highly recommend a citysurfing local host.
