| The whale watch was just okay. We didn't see any whales, however we do understand that it's the end of the grey whale migration. We did see dolphins and sea lions. We enjoyed the trip, although I thought 2 hours was a little short. The staff were friendly but not very exciting. I'd say it's a good tour if you just want to go out and see what you may see, but don't expect too much. | ||||||

| Many in our group were very inexperienced. The deck hands were so VERY patient and friendly. They repeatedly untangled our lines with a smile. They took the time out to explain things. Although we didn't catch any fish, we had a very good time. I believe that we owe this in great part to your crew. I am not very good with names but I believe that the lead deckhand was named Mike(?)...short brown hair, raised in San Clemente, tatoo on his calf....friend and warm personality. I would recommend your fishing outfit to my friends. | ||||||

| Upon arriving at Dana Point Wharf to check in, we were advised that the sea was rough and they recommended taking something for sea sickness. We were escorted onto the boat on a beautiful spring day. The trip out to sea was rocky, but soon we were invited to purchase drinks or food items. Our first siting were seals and we were given detailed information regarding their habits. We also spotted dolphins and information was also provided. Unfortunately, we did not observe whales but plan to do the trip again,. Before placing our reservations, I asked the representative if this was good time or should we wait for blue whale season and was advised to go ahead now. I know there is no guarantee for spotting whales, but hopefully next visit we can obtain a recommendation on a best bet for a time to see a whale. Truly enjoyed the day and look forward to next trip. | ||||||

| The weather wasn't great, but the crew was. They moved around to increase our odds of catching. They were great with our children. We will be back! | ||||||

| We had a fun time on the boat my 3 year old had a blast, I just wished we would have seen whales. We did see a lot of dolphins which left us happy. Maybe next time, I would definately try it again. | ||||||

94th Birthday

| My father-in-law told me that the only thing he wanted for his 94th birthday was to go ocean fishing, so my brother-in-law and I obliged. It was a wonderful day of fishing, and he caught a Sand Bass. The crew was knowledgeable, energetic, polite and helpful, and we look forward to going again on his 95th, if not before. Highly recommend this half day trip. Dana Wharf has a great website, easy to find location and parking, great captains and crews, and a beautiful coastline to enjoy, whether the fish are biting or not! | ||||||

| the staff and the people were all very friendly and the boat ride was nice and relaxing, but we didn't see anything except some seals on a buoy. however, we did get free tickets to go again next time. i can't quite formulate a decent opinion until i see something on the next trip! | ||||||

Great trip saw lots of dophins

| My friends and myself really enjoyed the whale watching trip. We didn't exactly see any whales but we saw a whole swarm of dophins and other sea life. I'm hoping in the future we could possibly ride the dophins are take turns driving the boat. I was also thinking that maybe you guys can invest in an underwater submarine so we can actually go down below, just some ideas to help improve the experience. We were able to get lots of pictures and were able to share them with friends and family. | ||||||

Whale watch.

| We saw lots of dolphins but no whales. It is my understanding that you may be stretching the time that whales are in the area and the likelihood of seeimg them this time of year is very low. To my knowledge no one on your tours saw them that day. Perhaps you should reconsider your policy to avoid negative feeback to potential customers. | ||||||

| We enjoyed this cruise very much. We did not see any whales but saw hundreds of playful dolphins. The crew spent time making sure that everyone was able to enjoy the dolphins swimming around the boat. | ||||||

| Went on the 1/2 day fishing trip with my family. Bought 5 tickets for us. Me and my wife just helped the kids for the most part. Our kids couldn't even fish without getting pushed out of the way by other fisherman. Way overbooked. I expected it to be crowded considering it was half price tuesday, but it was a little ridiculous. Fishing was pretty good and nice fishing crew, but too many people. | ||||||
