	Very pleasant time on the wwater Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises
	Tue, Nov 27, 07 12:00 PM	kirknjan	Male	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
	The boat was OK, but some chairs or places to sit on the deck would have been nice. We tried to sit downstairs but could not see through the windows and could not hear the loudspeaker. We enjoyed seeing a few sea lions and a pod of dolphins, but really disappointed not to see a whale. We had read in the promotion that this was an especially good time to see blue whates, but when checked in, we were told they hadn't seen a whale in a week. Crew was courteous, and we didn't have any problems with the tour.

	Hi, This was my first time deep sea fishing. I wasn't sure what to expect. We had a GREAT time!!! The deck hands were the best helping me and my son tie on hooks and sinkers. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great time. Joe
	What a Day! Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	The trip started on time, the crew were friendly and helpful, the day was beautiful, seas were clam, and the food was good (thank heavens that we don't ever get sea sick). We didn't get to see any whales but it's only the beginning of one season and the ending of another, but the Captain found a large pod of dolphins and took us to the center and we got to enjoy their play (sometimes right under the bow of the ship)...what a wonderful experience. The Captain also educated us about what we encountered along the way. Thanks much.
	Great Family Outing Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	We spend Thanksgiving with family each year in San Clemente. This was the first time we took this 'field trip' and had a blast. We had a group of 20 on the trip. We will now include this in our annual Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks for a great trip! The snack bar was also a plus as we had our newly born grandson with us so he could stay snuggled up inside and my daughter could still enjoy the view outside and not feel cooped up. Your staff was also very helpful and friendly. Thanks again and see you next year.
	Awesome Day on the "REEL FUN"... 1/2 Day Fishing Trip

	I've been fortunate to have booked passage twice with Dana Wharf Sport Fishing in the past 5 years. BOTH trips were awesome! This past trip w/ the crew of the "REEL FUN" was a riot. Lots of fish, great weather, AND the best crew coming out of Dana Harbor. Plenty of help, lots of smiles, and an overall attitude that told me (and my family) that the men aboard the "REEL FUN" were there to make sure we had a great day. I highly recommend Dana Wharf Sport Fishing!
	Nice relaxing two-hour cruise Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	They didn't tell me that we were not going to see any whales....thought they had them reserved for our viewing....NOT.....even though we didn't see any whales, a pod of dolphin were there for us to enjoy. Well maintained vessel, polite and helpful crew, easy to find location, a good all-around time....now, if they can just get the whales to cooperate......honestly, worth the time and enjoyed the trip.
	we enjoyed it so much, we are going to do it again Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	We had a great time! 1/2 Day Fishing Trip

	Even though we didn't catch many fish, the experience is worth it. The ship was clean and the crew were very helpful. The captain had a hard time getting rid of the sea lion that was terrorizing the fish. He tried four different locations, but the sea lion was persistent. There was a beautiful view of the San Clemente shoreline and we would definitely do it again.
	Nice Boat, but bad fishing trip 1/2 Day Fishing Trip

	My complaints: 1. The live sardines were to big. We couldn't even use them. 2. Only 5 keepers over 5 hours of fishing with 18+ anglers. My complimens: 1. Nice Staff, very helpful. 2. Clean Boat and great sandwiches.

	We didn't see any whales. We didn't really know what to watch for really. But we were out there on a beautiful day and had a great time even without the whales. DanaPoint is a very romantic place to visit and the whale watching tour with or without whales is very romantic too. Thanks Dana Wharf!
	No fish but good trip 1/2 Day Fishing Trip

	The rest of the participants were a bit more lucky than us, i.e. they caught fish, but nevertheless we had a great time. The crew from Danapoint were very enthusiatic and helpful. It was a great time.
	It was fun. Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	It would have been more fun to see a whale. But the playful dolphins made up for the disappointment of no whales.
	Enjoyed the trip even though we did not see whales Whale Watching & Ocean Adventure Cruises

	Unfortunately, we didn't see whales or dolphins. Even though not guaranteed, the crew gave us coupons for $10/per for future ticket purchases. Very nice, and we intend to use them during the Grey whale season. We did enjoy the boat ride in spite of the lack of sightings.
	Great guys on the boat 1/2 Day Fishing Trip

	My son and his friend went out fishing and enjoyed themselves. Caught alot of fish early, then nothing the last couple hours, but that's fishing (otherwise they'd call it catching!) I've been out many times with these folks and they're always friendly and helpful. A fun time!
