Onboard our 50’ pristine Catamaran Yacht, our always low passenger capacity makes for an intimate at sea experience. The luxury whale watching cruises feature a perfect balance of gorgeous nautical details, and spacious viewing areas which allow you and your family to get up-close views of wild marine mammals including giant blue whales, humpback whales, mega pods of dolphin, and so much more. The unique 360-viewing walk around feature, allows for a perfect view from almost any vantage point onboard and means you’ll never miss a moment. Our favorite spot onboard is up front, where you can gaze down at bow riding dolphin, which will glide just below your feet on one of the dual bows, so close they are almost within arm’s reach!

We had a great time. Saw 2 whales, hundreds of dolphins and sea lions. The crew was great and did a wonderful job at locating whales for us to sww. I definitely recommend this tour!

A great trip. Got to see hundreds of Dolphins, a feeding frenzy with hundreds of birds feeding on the bait fish that were being scared by the dolphins so they came up to the surface. We also saw a Minke Whale. They can get up to 30 feet in length. Also saw sea lions tanning on a buoy. Christine and Matt were great and Christine was very knowledgeable. We got our money's worth. Make sure you have a rain coat or that type of clothing. You will get wet sitting in the front where they encourage you to sit. We were well prepared.

We didn’t see any whales but witnessed two dolphin pods coming together. It was an amazing experience!

Nice ride out to ocean. Staff was nice. No whales. Boat is not a luxury yacht but a catamaran. Got wet and saw dolphins and seal lions. Long wait on line and valet charges to park.

The female crew on 10/4/25 @ 12:30 did a fabulous job. Very informative and hospitable. Because of their knowledge and determination, we were actually able to see a humpback surface a few different times.

No whales, or dolphins. That was a disappointment. We toured out pretty far. The boat was well maintained. Had my brother with me made the day memorable. Saw some sea lions.

I was feeling a little bummed at first when the captain told us that the last two boats did not see anything at all…however, about 5 minutes outside the harbor, we ran into a pod of ~500 common dolphins!!!! It really was an incredible sight, and we stayed with them for quite some time. The captain was a great source of facts and cultivated an enjoyable experience overall - despite the lack of whales.

The website does not help passengers prepare for this boat. The gallery has limited viewing options. There is no seating in the back and only 12 people can be in the top. That leaves the front of the boat. It is the splash zone and we were soaked. We didn’t know we should have rain ponchos. An elderly woman sat with us and was also very unprepared. We had to return to the dock due to a medical emergency. We saw nothing but lots of water. We have a return trip voucher because our trip was canceled but honestly, I won’t return to this boat.

Great tour! Great tour operators and very nice boat! We saw a pod of 300-500 dolphins and it was the most wonderful site! Definitely recommend and we can’t wait to go again!

Captain Larry is very knowledgeable when it comes to wildlife in the ocean and surrounding coastal area.
