A Unique Experience

While we did not see any whales on our trip, the dolphins made the trip worthwhile! Our 8 year old son loved seeing the dolphins swim around us and under us. This trip is something you will never forget.

Must try out once or more

Very enjoyable out on the sea and watching the sunset while fishing. My wife and I were like two kids anticipating for a bite. The crew aboard were very helpful in removing fish from our line and cleaning our fish. Excellent service. It was very enjoyable and recommend everyone should try this once. Dan & Kim

Had a Great Time!

We spotted hundreds of dolphins and followed a Blue Whale for several breathing cycles. The marine expert was helpful and answered all of our questions. We got some fantastic pictures and the kids really enjoyed the trip.

Dolphins galore!
Wed, Aug 20, 08   4:30 PM ljtart Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We didn't see any whales but we saw a pod of dolphins that were very playful and interactive with the boat. It was quite a sight! The ride was very smooth, no one in our party got sea sick :) The crew was very informative and made me feel quite safe. We would take this adventure again someday.

Mixed thoughts on the sportfishing
Tue, Aug 19, 08   12:00 PM dstringham Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Two 48 year old women and a 15 year old teenage girl. The teenage girl got very seasick despite taking bromine beforehand. That's just her... A 5 hour time gets tiring to have to stand the entire time. Great bait, good fishing spots and some good fish for all. I caught and released. The crew were very helpful for those who had never sea fished before.

tangled mess/ "over qualified" captain
Tue, Aug 19, 08   10:00 AM Joeyo1 Male 20-29 Local Unspecified
First off , the tangled mess was especially frustrating.To add to that no one knew what do do in the event of a tangled mess besides the deckhand. Second , the capatain of the "Clemente" drove us away from a spot where the the fish could be seen from the deck. Some people were even hooked up as we were pulling away. We then drove to a second spot that was right near the barges parked just south of the San Clemente Pier. That spot was horrible. No bites , nibbles , nothing , by anyone that i could see. We then drove to a third spot that was just as bad as the previously mentioned one. Then , to top off the frustration , the over qualified captain (I'm saying that very saurcasticly) drove us back to the original spot where we then fished for about 15-20 min. or so then called it a day and drove back to port. Idon't recomend the 1/2 dat trip to anyone that likes to fish. And I won't be giving them any more of my business or recomending them to my friends / family.

Reel Fun
Tue, Aug 19, 08   6:30 AM bthomas Female 60-69 Local Other
The experience on the ocean was much enjoyed. It was fun doing catch and release for the mackeral we caught and a nice day just to relax. However, for serious fishermen, the opportunity to catch the big fish (durado, yellowtail) was not there.

Too Crowded on Tuesdays
Tue, Aug 19, 08   6:30 AM RalphRoybal Male 60-69 Local Individual
The price was great. The fishing wasn't good on the day I went. I only caught two tiny Sculpin. The boat was way too crowded. I would not suggest going on 1/2 price Tuesdays.

Awesome!

I was on the Clemente. The boat left promptly. The captain was very informative, humerous and obviuosly likes what he does. He took us out 8 miles and we saw the most amazing whale! He gave us a lot of knowledge of whales and I learned so much. Then he extended our trip so we could see a pod of dolphins. He really went out of his way to show us a really good time. I highly recommend Ocean Adventure Cruises, provided by DanaWharf.
