Whale watching season is all year long in San Diego! Our team at Next Level Sailing provides the optimal experience with guides so experienced we received a 100 percent success rate during winter whale watching when spotting the King of the Deep.
We are one of the best outdoor activities to do in San Diego. Gray whale watching season spans from mid-December through April. Blue whales and fin whales are seen feeding in San Diego from April - August. Humpback whales and minke whales are seen throughout the year, particularly in the spring, summer, and fall. Aboard our 141-foot sailing yacht, the Yacht America, you will see a plethora of whales firsthand in their natural habitat. In addition to whales, we also see dolphins and sea lions, and an abundance of naval activity. Don't be surprised if you see an F-18 fly overhead!

The crew was so friendly and knowledgeable. We learned about the sailboat history, whales and about the other types of boats and what they were doing in the water.

Highly recommended! Even though we didn’t see so many whales due to the seasons, the sailing trip was just beautiful. The crew is super nice and accommodating and it explains a lot what you see on the way. We would definitely do it again and can only recommend it.

Stunning weather, gorgeous sailboat, and an amazing, knowledgeable crew. Being on the water feeds my soul & this experience was like coming home. Saw sea lions, dolphins, a fin whale, and tons of birds. Even had a puppers keeping us safe! Crew answered any & all questions, handled anyone with sea sickness kindly, and provided tons of info not only about the sealife but all the military activities going on around us. I was a solo traveler & felt really comfortable as well. 10 out of 10 recommend. Very cool!

The experience is amazing! The weather on the way out was colder than on the way back but it was tolerable. We saw 3 kinds of whales as well as dolphin and sea lions! The crew are very knowledgeable and experienced so it makes the trip much better. The whole experience was so much fun even as a solo. Would definitely go again with the crew!!! I would recommend taking some sort of motion sickness prior to going if you have any chance of getting sick. I get seasickness but I did alright as long as I stayed seated and kept the breeze in my face. I also didn’t eat or drink a lot prior to boarding.
