Great Time

| I took my 8-year old out for some Ocean fishing. We have taken this once before. Dana Point Sportfishing does a fantastic job with organization and ensuring everyone is taken care of. The captain does a great job making sure there is bite action with his knowledge of the area and what equiptment to use. I recommend this for anyone looking for Family fin! | ||||||

Very Crowded no enough help

| I have been taking these trips for several years and I do have to say that is was not one of my favorites. The boat was too crowded so crowded that people had no spots to fish and the deckhands had to make people move to allow others to fish. On many trips the captain has the people on the boat move around so everyone can fish in different parts of the boat this did not happen until two of us were overheard talking about it and then it was only one movement. Then one of the deckhands stood over the bait tank constantly chumming the water and hitting me in the head with fish! My son helped several people with their fish because he did not get down and help them with tangled lines and bringing in fish. I am careful what I bring on the boat because I know the rules, however there were people that brought coolers with beer in them and the people that were smoking was awful. It seemed like there were not enough deck hands to handle the numbers. I am not sure that I want to try this again anytime soon unless I go on a different day. | ||||||

| Although my niece & I did not see any whales or dolphins (which is unusual), we did see sea lions, have a great boat ride, & witness stunning views of our local coastline. And in the end, because our excursion did not see whales or dolphins, we did receive free whale-watching tickets that don't expire & can be used anytime. | ||||||

| The fish were not biting but that happens sometimes- the crew, however, was determined to get us to a place that they were biting and they were helpful when it came to bagging fish and tying on hooks and sinkers- the only complaint is that I wish the boats were nonsmoking my wife has asthma and the smoke made light headed and sick- | ||||||

CATAMARAN WHALE-SIGHTING TRIP
|
|||||
| Sun, Aug 10, 08 1:00 PM | SONIAMALMAN | Female | 40-49 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Family With Children | |
| WE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED OUR TRIP WITH YOU. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. THE MARINE BIOLOGIST (A FEMALE) WAS FANTASTIC AND ENTHUSIASTIC AND THE WHOLE STAFF WAS SUPER-FRIENDLY. WE SAW TWO BLUE WHALES IN THE LAST HALF-HOUR OF OUR TRIP, PLUS SOME RIZO'S DOLPHINS AND SOME SEA LIONS, I BELIEVE IT WAS. THE WHALES WERE JAW-DROPPING AND AWE-INSPIRING. WE COULDN'T BELIEVE OUR EYES AND OUR LUCK. IT MADE OUR TRIP MAGICAL AND FOREVER UNFORGETTABLE. OUR SIX-YEAR-OLD SON SAID IT WAS THE BEST DAY OF HIS LIFE! NEED I SAY MORE? | ||||||

What a Gorgeous Day

| I would highly recommend Catamaran Adventure Cruises. My boyfriend and I went on the 1pm whale watching tour out of Dana Point on Sunday 11/8. The reason I gave this a five star rating despite not encountering any whales or dolphins was the fact it was a gorgeous day on the water. The crew was friendly, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable. They gave us all vouchers for 50% off of our next trip because we didn't have any whale or dolphin encounters. | ||||||

| The fishing was not as good as we expected , but that is fishing!!!! We had a good time and my grandson was very excited. He lives in your area and I'm sure that he will be back to fish with you again and soon. The crew did a great job of tending to the needs of the fishermen. I would have no problem with going on your trip again. | ||||||

Small boat....not much help....overcrowded

| This was not a great experience. There were too many people on the boat. It was shoulder to shoulder. There was not much help from the deck hands if any. Someone stole my fish out of my bag. The boat was small. The cook was the nicest employee and was really helpful. Other than him, it was not a good trip. | ||||||

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE

| The Blue Whale watching cruise far exceeded our expectations. The staff was friendly and knowledgable and imparted just the right info at just the right time. The boat was clean and comfortable, the weather was fantastic, the wildlife cooperated as if trained to do so. The Common Dolphins were there to see in incredible #'s and swam with the boat, performing for us as if trained to do so. Then the HIGHLIGHT of our cruise appeared, A couple of Blue Whales , which we sighted numerous times as they surfaced , swam and dove and reappeared several times to our surprise and enjoyment. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS PHENOMINAL !! THANK YOU DANA WHARF FOR AN EXPERIENCE MY WIFE AND I WILL NEVER FORGET !! Scott & Danielle Steinberg. | ||||||

| Each member in my party thoroughly enjoyed themselves on our trip, even though the weather was very cold outside. We were able to see a grey whale, a pod of dolphins, and some sea lions - it was great! We would definitely take this trip again in the future! | ||||||

Great Deal

| I thought I was getting a great deal by paying $14 (half-price on Tuesdays) to see something that very few people in the entire world ever get a chance to see. | ||||||

Not so Deep Sea Fishing
|
|||||
| Tue, Mar 24 10:00 AM | smewilson | Male | 20-29 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Group of Friends | |
| There could be a number of reason why it was like this, (it was just the time of year, last week of March, or that a strom had made the waters cold, we had only half a day, ect.) but the deepest we ever fished in was 66 ft of water. Nothing substantialy large was caught eithe and I think it would be safe to say that most of the people didn't catch anything. The last spot we fished was in 18 ft of water. We road a half an hour down the coast (never more than 900 yds from shore) to our fishing spots. I remember a time when my dad went out deep sea fishing south of Portland where they were fishing in 900 ft of water and bringing in monster fish every cast . Maybe it was ingnorance on my part, but that was what I was hopeing for, not 18 ft of water with little rockfish. Perhaps it would have been better fishing on a longer trip. I don't konw. | ||||||

Wonderful Opportunity

| Although we live in So. California, we had not gone whale-watching in 10 years. My son was only 5 months old the last time we went! He was so amazed and excited that we actually saw a whale and it was fairly close! We heard the group before saw dolphins but we were happy with the whale. | ||||||
