Great Time
Sat, Jun 7, 08   12:00 PM stephaniel Female 20-29 Local Group of Friends
We went out on the 12 pm boat and we had a blast.....the fish werent biting much but the crew did a great job and we all had fun. They tried several different spots to find fish but unfortunately it was a bit too windy so the fish were not easy to come by. Despite the lack of fish we had a great time out on the boat and I would definately do it again.

We had a great time, and caught some fish. The crew was nice and helpful, very much appreciated. Only recommendations-bring your sunscreen, sweatshirt, and leave squeamish friends home.

Nice to out on a boat

All in all it was a good trip but due to the lack of wildlife it made the trip a little dull. Fortunately the weather was good so it was just nice to look out at the sea and back at the shoreline. I would recommend to a friend.

My first time ever, and it was a blast!

This was my first experience ocean fishing, and it blew trout fishing out of the water! The captain knew just where to find the fish most of the time, and the barracuda meat is good for many meals!

Poor Winter-type fishing
Sat, May 3, 08   6:30 AM AHLBERD Male 50-59 Local Group of Friends
Just hit a bad day, I guess. I usually have good luck with Dana Wharf Sportfishing, but this day was bad - only a couple of sculpin caught for the whole boat, and my group caught one small rockfish between the four of us. Frustrating morning all around.

It will be excellent short day trip for anyone

Specially in California, nice sunny day on the oceanside will never forget. All the services by Zerve well scheduled on time and the narrator on the boat was excellent too. We had very good time and had fun. I will recommand if you stay one night in the resort by the sea that added great value for our trip. Thank you Zerve!!!

Great way to enjoy a Sunday Afternoon!

Our 2pm Sunday cruise provided our first visit to Dana Point Harbor. We enjoyed the live music performed in the courtyard, courtesy of the Harbor Music Series. There were several restaurants and snack shops. While waiting at the dock for our boat to arrive, we watched kayakers and enjoyed the sea lions as they basked in the sun with flippers pointed upward. The boarding and launch for this cruise was quick and our crew was very excited to inform us that a pod of fin whales had been active for most of the day. Our boat speeds out and after forty minutes, the crew points out the whale spouts as we slow down and approach the area. There are three whales and we're able to view their dorsal fins and watch them blow out spouts of water into the air. There is no breaching or tale slapping behavior. One whale actually glides under the starboard area of our boat. Our boat is the only one out there and we're able to move 360 degrees around the deck. Our boat keeps stride with the whales and the crew helps point out where the whales will surface. Our crew is located up above the passenger level. Several passengers ask the crew to take photographs of their group from this upper level. The crew is very friendly and very obliging. Prior to our return to the harbor, a commercial sailboat arrives with a dozen tourists. Their adventure looks fun until one realizes that their viewing area is limited to the back of their boat and their view of the whales was often blocked by the boat itself. We heard a lot of disappointed moaning from their direction.

Crew Members Are Great

The crew members were great and helpful. Disappointed because almost everyone came back empty handed. Are there any fish left in the ocean?

We had a great time on the whale watching cruise in Dana Point. It was a beautiful day and the waters were nice and calm, absolutely perfect. The staff were all friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. I have strongly recommended the cruise to friends and family. It was a great experience!

It was good!
Tue, Apr 8, 08   12:00 PM ParadisPD Male 20-29 Local Group of Friends
We saw a big nursery pod of dolphins which was great. My girlfriend and other friends loved them. We saw a grey whale with a calf and they liked them too but when we watched them surface for about 5-10 seconds every few minutes for a half hour it was a bit repetitive. It was good, we came to see whale and we saw them. Thanks a lot!

Dolphins were great
Mon, Apr 7, 08   12:00 PM MariKevW Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
While we did not see any gray whales, it was still worth the afternoon and money watching the captain and dolphins play. Due to the expertise of the crew, they were able to create circular patterns that provider us bystanders the viewing of dolphins doing acrobats in the wake of the boat. Truly awesome!

Fun!

We saw a "dolphin super-pod"!!! No whales, though. Plenty of room on the boat, friendly staff. Nice passengers. Beautiful just to be on the water. A few notes, which weren't negatives for me, but could be for others: The "whale-sighting guarantee or free trip next time" includes dolphin sightings, and if we hadn't seen so many dolphins, I might have been dissappointed. Fortunately I read the fine print so I was aware that the guarantee included dolphins. The restrooms weren't stocked well, but fortunately I'm the kind of person who comes over-prepared for such things. The bar on the boat is cash only, so bring dollars. There is an ATM in the shop where you get your tickets. If you get seasick, they have motion sickness pills there too. I'll definitely go again for blue whale season.
