Very comfortable, nice people, reasonably priced. It was nice for once not to get ripped off for food and drinks. I really appreciated that. Great selection. Thanks for a great time. Yafa Boyer

Always a pleasure

It's always a pleasure to go out on the Twighlight trip with Dana Wharf Sportfishing. 4 hours is a perfect amount of time with children and/or folks trying out fishing for the first time. It's short enough that if it's not working out or you're getting seasick you'll be back soon enough but it's long enough to get some real fishing done. I've done this trip several times now (I think that this was my fourth) and for the first time my son fished the entire time instead of playing with the bait fish in the bait tank for the last part of the trip. He was a fisherman instead of a fisherman's son. We'll be thinking about a longer trip now but will still go out on this once in a while with newbies. The crew is great. The galley is great. You don't have to get up early in the morning to go. I recommend it.

Overall a good time.....

Good tour. Be prepared because it's really cold on the boat once you get going. It was actually warm at the dock before we left and once the boat started going the temperature appeared to quickly decrease, my husband and I were grateful we brought out coats. They have snacks on the boat too, so I warmed up with a cup of hot chocolate. We saw tons of dolphins and 1 whale on our tour. We weren't able to observe the whale for too long since we spotted it toward the end of our tour and the boat had to get back to the dock for the next tour. I would say it was worth the money paid.....

We attended the 8:00 a.m. ride. It was amazingly great! We didn't see any whales, but we most certently see our share of dolphins! I highly recommend it to all.

Better fishing off the jetty!

I fish down at Dana Point jetty all the time and catch a lot more. I only caught one fish the whole time, as did my friends. For the money, it wasn't worth it.

Crew & Boat were great.

From leaving the dock, to returning our needs were met. The crew was right there for advice, helping to untangle lines and take fish off the hooks. The Capton did all he could by taking us from spot to spot to find fish that would cooperate and bite. The Galley was good, and the food also good. I will be back out when the time allows it for me. I will recommend the trip to anyone wanting a great fishing experience. A great day for the kids also.

Fun for everyone

I took my son (8yrs) fishing on the 1/2 day and we had a blast. Make sure you bring some dramamine if you get sea sick and sun screen. The deck hands were great, they were running around getting fish off the lines, helping with tangled lines or setting up the lines to fish. The fishing was ok (because a seal came in and scared the fish away just when they started biting). You will stop at about 2-3 different spots to fish depending on how the fishing is. But overall it was a great trip. Would recommended to anyone that has just started or does not have time for the whole day trips.

Wild life was lacking but was still a nice boat ride enjoying the Orange County Coast Line.

A very enjoyable adventure.

Although we didn't see any whales, we saw an enormous pod of common dolphins. There were literally hundreds of dolphins around the boat for nealry an hour and they were very entertaining. The captain provided an adequate, but brief discussion of the common dolphins' range, etc. In light of the fact that we didn't see any whales, it would have been nice if the captain had filled in some of the dead time with more description of the dolphins, the whales that we came to see, and the history of Dana Point and Dana harbor.

Wouldn't ever book again!
Tue, Sep 1  12:00 PM Whosamesa Male 30-39 Local Individual
Boat was packed yet the crew managed to fish right along side with the paying customers!!! NOT GOOD!!! PEOPLE ARE RUDE, one lady even got hit on the head by another person on board. I'd seriously re-think booking this one! Honestly I'd like to say something good...even the fishing wasn't that great. Not too many ppl caught anything legal size...maybe just a hand full of ppl...oh wait that was the crewmen. My bad.
