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

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.

So much fun!

My main goal in taking the cruise was to get out in the water. Unfortunately, we didn't see much in the way of marine animals (we saw 3 dolphins and a handful of sea lions), but that was fine with me since that was not our group's main goal. It was a lot of fun and I would definitely go again. The crew was great too.

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!

Wow! What an experiace, Thank you!

The boat crew was fantastic, both in attitude and help. My son and I learn more about fishing in this one charter than over the last ten years. We caught 10 fish between us including, (2) Barracuda's!, Calico Bass, Sand Bass, Rock Fish and a Scorpion Fish! We were a little worried with the low price but I will no longer look any where else, when we come back we're headed for Dana Point!

Well worth it!

We had a great time. Our tour left on time and the crew was very courteous. We saw sea lions and many dolphins up close. On the way back to the harbor we were getting a little disappointed over not seeing any blue whales and then all of a sudden we saw about 7-10 blue whales. We definitely plan to come back during grey whale season.

excellent except for parking

Is there anyway that we can park first at the designated parking lot then came into the tackle shop to get the actual parking permit then return to the car with the displayed parking permit?

My son-in-law and I had a great time on our 5 hour trip. The staff were great and Chris (the Captain) runs a good ship. Everything was clean, the burgers freshly prepared on board were excellent. Caught plenty of fish, although the big one got away (don't they always??) Excellent value for money. We will do this at least one's per month.

Great family fun.

I took my son (12) and daughter (8) on the early morning trip and we all had a great time. The crew were very friendly and helpful. There is lots to eat and drink offered on board but, as you would expect, it was rather expensive. Bring along your own picnic lunch and save some money. I would highly recommend this as a great family outing.

Great people and cooperative whales

We saw whales! It was obvious our captain was knowledgeable and interested - did much more than just "drive the boat" . You can never be guaranteed a sighting - but regardless you will learn quite a bit
