Actual fishing
Sun, Jun 28  6:30 AM prndds Male 40-49 Local Family With Children
This experience of fishing has created excitement in my kids to go for fishing. My 9 yr old daughter caught 10 and my son 6 yrs old caught 5 - half the time he was crying :-) The best part is the location. No worries of looking for the fish the captain takes us to a place where there is fish and we catch -simple and easy. The crew is very helpful and full of energy. They are there whenever you need them. I have already recommended it to my friends and we will certainly go again. JUST GREAT!

What a great trip!
Sat, Jun 27  1:00 PM sjtracey Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
We took my 8 year old daughter and mother (who was visiting from the East coast) on a 2.5 hour whale watching trip on 6/27. The catamaran was ideal for the trip - lots of deck space, very clean, etc. They only take a small group on each of these trips, so there was plenty of room for everyone, and it wasn't crowded at all. The crew was fantastic - very helpful and friendly, and eager to make sure everyone had a great time. We saw a HUGE pod of common dolphins pretty much right away, and then the crew got a tip on a fin whale and we took off to try and find it. Which we did! We stayed near it for a while (saw it come up 3 times), and although bobbing around in the not-so-still water was a little tough on some stomachs, it was worth it to see such a magnificent sight. The company doesn't guarantee that trips will see whales each time, but they certainly seemed to try hard to make it happen. We will DEFINITELY be going back out with them again soon!

Twilight

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-

Great Experience!

I have lived in San Clemente for the last 27 years and have gone fishing out of Dana Point since the mid 70's. I was absolutely surprised to see Whales in Late June in local waters! What a terrific experience, I thought whales were only around in migration season

A great little get away.
Wed, Jun 24  5:00 PM lyroseberry Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Our group had a great time. There were several whale sightings and the captain put a lot of effort into keeping a watch for the whales and directing the boat so we all could have a closer look. We even came up along side a group of sea lions. It was a great little get away.

Our Day On the Boat

I took my son and 2 other kids from our youth group at church. we had a ball. The kids learned alot. the captain was very informative. and made sure that we were able to get great picks of the Whales and dolphins. The boat wasn't to crowded so there was plenty of places to view everything. Great and memorible trip.

The captain was fabulous
Tue, Jun 23  5:00 PM kimhabre Female 50-59 Combination Family With Children
We were only 15 minutes from the harbor when we spotted the first whale. The captain explained what we were seeing and stayed in the area until it "sounded". We witnessed the fluke as it dove down. Then we sailed to another spot where there were hundreds of dolphins swimming and jumping. They continued quite some time and the whole time the captain was sharing information. This was the most awesome experience and even now I get goose bumps! I had read about this activity prior to arriving in California from Oregon. I wanted to make a memory with my niece and nephew, this excursion provided that. On the way back into the harbor we spotted another variety of dolphin , sea lions and another whale. What an incredible experience. Thank you so much. This was beyond my expectations.

Great adventure!
Tue, Jun 23  1:00 PM spinion Female 30-39 Local Family With Children
Although I live locally my dad and his wife were in town from Wisconsin. It was a great activity both for them being out of town and for my 3 year old daughter. We saw a ton of dolphins, 2 whales (which I wasn't anticipating) as well as the seals, not to mention the beautiful landscape. I would recommend the cruise for both locals and out of towners!
