1/2 Day Fishing Trip with my son
Tue, Jun 9  10:00 AM jwmadrid06 Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We took the later 1/2 day trip, which left at 10:00 am. We got there early and were the first in line, therefore we got the first choice of fishing spots on the boat. We enjoyed the fishing trip, because it was a beautiful day and we were catching fish. The crew was good, because as soon as fishing died at 1 location we quickly moved to the next spot. We were not disappointed at the catch, although we would have been happier with more fish. The highlite of the trip was when one of the passengers caught a Halibut that weighed in at 27 lbs (biggest I've seen). The 1/2 day trip was just long enough time for me to fish and enjoy the scenery. I would recommend this trip.

Even though we didnt see any whales, this tour is still a great time. Great onboard crew, informative and accommodating. The boat is brand new too!

Poor fishing
Fri, Jun 5  10:00 AM Lukharsch Male 30-39 Local Family With Children
The 1/2 day trip included a good number of locals or regulars who the deck hands seemed to enjoy chatting with and the deck hands spent a lot of time fishing themselves. I dont really care if they do fish, but when one of the passengers catches a fish they should be available to assist with taking the fish off the hook and putting in their bags. The fishing was poor and it would be recommended to rotate the fishing times at the back of the boat so that all would get equal time at the best fishing spot from the boat while backed into the kelp beds. The boat was clean and the galley provided good food and service. In summary the 1/2 day experience would be graded Average at best.

It was a positive experience

We would have liked to go farther out to find more fishing potential. Didn't catch much worth keeping. Maybe the boat needs a Fishfinder.

No Fish

I know you can't control the weather. We caught 5 fish for the entire boat. The trip was fun. Seeing the dolphins and sea lions. Won't go after a Kid Clinic again. Way to many kids on boat. Wish we would of caught something. Otherwise nice day. Good value.

The Dana Wharf crew treats all passengers like a guest at a 5-star resort. They are patient with the children and helpful to everyone on their boats, regardless of their level of experience. And the Galley food is always great!

Great date event
Sat, May 30  12:00 PM tranfour2000 Male 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
The captain and crew were very friendly and helpful with our fishing lines whenever we caught a fish or the lines got tangled. The food on board was great as well. If you take a date she has no where to go for 5 hours...she's stuck on the boat. :) J/k...it was a fun trip for us.

Lackluster, Avoid 1/2 Day Trip
Sat, May 30  6:30 AM austini Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I am an avid fisherman from the SF Bay Area. I own a fishing boat and am out on the bay at least once a week. I was attending a friends wedding in SoCal and tried to fit in a fishing trip. I've been on this trip two times. The first time we caught many fish, but the crew was pompous and distant. To avoid that experience, I tried to plan a trip out of San Diego but time constraints necessitated we leave from Dana Harbor again. This time the crew was great, but fishing was terrible (not their fault). The captain drove around the coast for over an hour "scouting" for bass. On a 1/2 day trip it’s just not worth the time (they are in the kelp beds!). I don't know about the longer trips (I hope they are better), but my recommendation is to avoid the half day trip. I've been disappointed twice.

Wild life was lacking but was still a nice boat ride enjoying the Orange County Coast Line.

Great experience
Wed, May 27  5:00 PM gputney Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Overall this tour is a great experience. The view is amazing. The crew was friendly. We didn't see any whales, I guess they are more likely from November to March. We did see some dolphins which was fun. If you can get a deal on the tickets by going mid week then it is really worth the money, even if you don't see a lot of ocean life.

Fantastic, we had a great time!
Tue, May 26  5:00 PM earlrussell Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We were nervous at first, Dana Point was one of the cheapest charters in the area. The experiance was definitly more than we expected. Thanks to a great crew and the help and attitude they gave. When we return I won't even bother looking for another deal, I'm headed for Dana Point!
