| Such a rare treat to see two blue whales! The crew did a fantastic job finding them and educating us about them. We were also very lucky to see a pod of Risso's dolphins! A very lucky day indeed! | ||||||

| Yes, the 'bite was on' . We had a 'great time'. Easy purchase and check-in was quick. Our fishing trip was a successful thanks to the service and caring of the personel at Zerve and Dana Wharf! | ||||||

| I took my son (8yrs) fishing on the 1/2 day and we had a blast. Make sure you bring some dramamine if you get sea sick and sun screen. The deck hands were great, they were running around getting fish off the lines, helping with tangled lines or setting up the lines to fish. The fishing was ok (because a seal came in and scared the fish away just when they started biting). You will stop at about 2-3 different spots to fish depending on how the fishing is. But overall it was a great trip. Would recommended to anyone that has just started or does not have time for the whole day trips. | ||||||

A Father and his Sons - True Bliss off Dana Point!

| Sun, Jul 19 6:30 AM | Jarvisboys | Male | 40-49 | Local | Family With Children | |
| This is where my boys and I connect. This is where we are taking away memories that are never forgotten. At 6 and 10, both my sons know how to land their catch. The fish and the good times are plenty. The Captain and crew of the "Clemente" really make it their job to ensure their guests are accommodated. The crew has been instrumental in helping my two boys become two young "fishermen" with their expertise and caring approach. I actually just started them with fishing and we have been back three times in two months. What a tremendous experience! David Jarvis Orange, CA | ||||||

Leave Late back on Time
|

| Sun, Jul 19 6:30 AM | ArchTeer | Male | 50-59 | Local | Other | |
| I found it odd that when reading the daily catchs on line that it shows a great deal of fish being caught, but then on the boat few fish were caught and the captain made a statement that it has really been slow lately! Another statement from the captain made while sitting at the dock was "we are running late this morning" everyone on the boat paid for 5 hours of fishing and we were all cut short. We left late and arrived back on time. To make things worse not very many fish were caught and condition were good. | ||||||

too crowded

| This operation books too many people to make it truely enjoyable. The boat was elbow to elbow from bow to stern. but as they say, the worst day of fishing is better than the best day of work and we did catch some fish and the deckhands were helpful. I'm sure I will go again, but never again on the weekend unless they limit their load. | ||||||

Twilight Fishing highly reco. but not w/Dana Wharf
|
|||||
| Sat, Jul 18 5:30 PM | mooyeado | Male | 30-39 | Local | Group of Friends | |
| Twilight fishing is great, however, I will not bring friends again to Dana Wharf. This was like my sixth time of bringing friends (in groups) and all but one time I and they came home with nothing. I had 5 people with me this time, and when everyone was catching fish they decided to move to another spot because most were smaller. I had 4 other people that were gonna come but couldn't make it--thank God. Well, we didn't get anymore bites the rest of the night--even after 2 more moves. We should have stayed where we were catching fish. I know you can't catch fish every time, but this isn't the first trip that we were catching fish and they decided to move. Aside from occassionally using the benefits of Kids Club, I probably wont use Dana Wharf again. I've had sucky experiences with about 30 different friends I've taken to Dana Wharf, including a bunch of friends for my brother's bachelor party night. Tooo disappointing. | ||||||

| Trip was great. Strongly recommend this one if you want to go whale watching. They do everything they can to ensure everyone gets to see what they came for. Staff was very friendly and helpful as well. Thanks! Melisa | ||||||

Fun but no sightings

| The ride was nice, and the boat was comfortable enough. Unfortunately, the day I went, there were no sightings of whales or dolphins. They did give out vouchers for 1/2 off tickets to come back and try again which I thought was appropriate. I plan on doing just that! | ||||||

Sum Fun is NO Fun!
|

| Wed, Jul 15 10:00 AM | rr2132 | Male | 30-39 | Local | Family Without Children | |
| Honestly, I would have to say that the 1/2 day trip on the SUM FUN was NO FUN! I go out quite a bit but mainly out of San Diego. This was my first trip out of Dana. Maybe I have been spoiled by the excellent service recieved from Point Loma, and H&M Landing, but the boat "SUM FUN" out of Dana was terrible. The deck hands were awful, sure I cought fish, but again the service from the hands was horrible. I would not reccomend this trip at all. The main problem was the crew, they were not good at all. | ||||||

Nice trip to see marine mammals on the ocean

| We didn't see blue whales, but that's really a function of the whales, not of the boat operator. We saw several groups of dolphins. Boat was great and clean, commentary was useful, overall an enjoyable evening. | ||||||

Trip was OK
|

| Tue, Jul 14 5:00 PM | Mashel612 | Female | 30-39 | Local | Family With Children | |
| The waters were very choppy so my son became seasick. I would have liked to see a more wide array of snacks served, only chips and warm soda was available. Maybe some hotdogs and cold drinks. We only saw dolphins and sea lions, unfortunately no whales....It was an OK trip no recommended for anyone that might get seasick... | ||||||

| I love fishing, and going to Dana Point is the best spot to do it. The crew is very nice, and the other fisherman on the boat are friendly and great to talk to. The only drawback is the price of beer, $3.50 for a can of coors light is a bit extreme. | ||||||
