A afternoon whale watching excursion on Thursday past. The boat was clean, the staff kind and helpful. Captain worked extra hard to make sure we were successful in seeing some wildlife. We were not fortunate to see any whales but very lucky to find ourselves in the middle of a bait ball and what seemed like hundreds of common dolphins … it was soul changing for us and so lucky. We also enjoyed the snacks along with coffee and full bar! Something for anyone and for all ages!! Enjoy

We are locals, but had never done the wine tasting cruise. We roped in some of our friends and had a wonderful night. Everything about it was great. The afterglow of the sunset, smooth ride because it is in the harbor, live music, fruit & cheese, wine… who could ask for more? We had a few in our group who joined reluctantly, but left grateful for the fun night. An excellent thing to do whether you are a local or here for a visit.

The staff were incredible to begin with. From the time we purchased the tickets, to getting on board and receiving the brief, everyone was super friendly and professional. The captain made sure to keep everyone included in the sightings and was somewhat playful encouraging all on board to keep an eye on an area for an active whale we had been watching. The other customers/guests aided in the pleasantries of spotting marine life as it seemed everyone was at ease and enjoying the trip, which I take as a tribute to the crew.

The crew was very friendly and professional. They even educated us on what to expect and see. The boat itself was very clean and the food and snacks were appropriately priced - nothing outrageous like Disneyland. The ride itself was comfortable and I never felt sea sick. Although we only got to see sea lions, I’m happy to come back and give it another try. I understand not every time you get to see a whale and they can’t control that either. But I appreciate the opportunity to try again in the near future!

It was amazing. We saw many whales. Dolphins. But a baby sea lion jumping out of the water doing flips and spins was fantastic! Staff very knowledgeable. Great stories. We all loved it and will go again

What a fantastic experience! Saw 2 Humpback Whales and a rare sighting on a Fin Whale which is the second largest Whale species in the world! Our Captin did a great job of finding them and getting some great views without disturbing them. Also some Sea Lions & lots of Dolphins playing around the boat. Cathy was also out Naturist on board, so great to have her! Very knowledgeable and great personality! It was a real bonus to have her on board!! I would highly recommend this tour! We also went on a 1/2 price Tuesday so super great as it was not too busy!!

We had an amazing trip whale watching with Dana Wharf Sport fishing & Whale watching. We saw several fin whales, a sea turtle, and hundreds of common dolphins. Thanks to the Naturalist on board, we learned a great deal about our aquatic neighbors. We highly recommend this tour!! These pictures were video showing the whales and dolphin jumping but the video did not come through.

We did not expect the tremendous show that natured delivered because whale season peak is from May-Oct. We were pampered with a bad ass crew starting with the totally rocking WOMAN captain, a very informed naturalist to communicate to us what we were seeing. Everyone else performed at an exceptional skill level and were extremely personable at the same time! Now on to the show that I referenced: there were 5-7 highly active feeding pods that 4 adult humpbacks and 2 baby humpbacks were feeding, going from one to another for their bountiful afternoon snacks! Whales were everywhere for over 1 1/2 hours thanks to that rad captain looking out for sightings. There were mini stampedes of dolphins, birds everywhere, whales fully breaching, flapping their fins and shooting towers of water out their blowholes!! BRAVO TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THIS A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR MY OUT OF TOWN FRIEND AND ME. Gotta mention the staff at the check in area and awesome gift shop, they were personable and professional! BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!
