Cruising up Dana Point and Laguna Beach to track a wonder of nature, a Blue Whale in all its magnificent "gentle" glory, was just spectacular. A few dolphins raced along side of the catamaran as the captain brought us about as close as you can get to the biggest creature in the history of the world...
Excellent Whale Watching in Grey Whale Season (Dec - Apr)

The Grandkids did not want to go but ended up loveing it. The operators searched and searched for a Blue Whale but could not find one. However the did not give up until we found a pod of dolphins.
Highs and Lows 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

We all had fun. Howver, the guys assisting the group, didn't appear to have to much patience. They also made us feel like we were bothering them when we had a problem. I brought my 10 year old son, and they didn;t do much to help him or explain anything about what to do or how to do it. They also didn't help my wife very much. None of us had ever been deep-sea fishing and told them that. But it didn't appear to make any difference. The food, burgers, was actually very good.

I took my 4 grandkids from Seattle. (ages 12-16). The first spot had minimal fish, then the captain moved the boat and it was GREAT FISHING. The kids had a phenomenal time and I am nominated for Grand Parent of the Year. The deck hands were right there when we needed them everything from tangled lines to taking the fish off. THEY made it truly enjoyable.

An amazing experience and people at Dana Wharf are excellent, already planning to go back and take the trip again in november. Very satisfied it was worth every penny.
YOU WILL SEE OCEAN MAMMALS Whale Watching in Grey Whale Season (Dec - Apr)
Sun, Jul 20, 08 5:30 PM	devered	Male	50-59	Local	Family With Children
As usual the Capt's enthusiasm for showing his guests the great mammals of the ocean paid off - two huge pods of dolphin with young, a small pod of Rizzo dolphin and a memorable encounter with a Blue Whale which thanks to the Capt's hard work we saw on the surface 4 times. The nice thing about this trip is that the Capt. and his crew really care and are knowledgeable about these animals and want their guests to see them - we'll be going again when the greys come by
Well organized, well executed 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

You can't be sure about the number of fish you will catch but you can be sure that's the only uncertainty. Here's what I expect when I'm taking personal time off with the family: 1. All of the planning, arranging and logistics are easy. 2. No "bait and switch" (no pun intended). 3. Staff are knowledgeable and pleasant. 4. Execution is timely and efficient. When that happens – if you don’t have a good time it’s your own fault! We had a great time.
the kids loved it 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

We had a wonderful time on the fishing boat. This was our first time on an ocean fishing boat. Everyone we talked to at Dana Wharf were friendly and understanding to our complete lack of knowledge. Unfortunately we dident catch any fish but the kids had a great time and so did my wife and I. Thanks for the good time

Wed, Jul 16, 08 10:00 AM	4663steve	Male	40-49	Local	Family With Children
There were six of us that went and 4 were children that have never caught a fish before so we were hoping that they would get a chance to catch something , but unforunately the fishing was not very good that day and only one of the Kids caught anything, oh well ,better luck next time.

Cattle boat 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips
Tue, Jul 15, 08 10:00 AM	KenPerez	Male	40-49	Local	Family With Children
Now I know why its called a cattle boat. We were packed in like sardines. I was with 3 boys and could not find 4 spots to accommodate us. Way too crowded, even at 1/2 price on Tuesdays, it wasn't worth the drive. To add insult to injury, very slow day fishing.
Boat was crowded 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

I don't recommend taking the Tuesday trip because the boat was very crowded and the deckhands were not able to help everyone. Not many fish were caught on the day we went.
Enjoyed the day! 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips
Tue, Jul 15, 08 10:00 AM	paganos5	Male	40-49	Local	Family With Children
We went out on a 1/2 day boat for my son's 10th birthday. There were 8 altogehter with two 10 year olds. The day was great. Beautiful weather. The captain announced my son's birthday on the loud speaker and everyone cheered. He got such a kick out of that. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast burrito from the gally was big and tasty! We didnt catch a great deal of fish, but we enjoyed the day very much and would go out with them again. Overall a fun day and a good experience.
