Amazing and refreshing

The ride out to sea was really awesome. A deep respect for seafarers and all the marine life we need to protect was gained. I'd recommend this experience to everyone.

Great Family Outing

Had some relatives in from NY and thought we'd take them out to go whale watching. Although we did not see blue whales, we did see 100's of dolphins. It was a fantastic experience and I strongly recommend it. We have a 5 yr old girl and 2 yr old boy who had a blast throughout the 2 hour journey. Having a galley on board is great idea too. The boat was not crowded at all and the staff was very informed and open to speaking about what we were seeing, etc. Great times!

Fine for locals with their own tackle
Sat, Jun 13, 09   12:00 PM jroush Male 30-39 Unspecified Group of Friends
We participated in the 1/2 trip from 12-5pm and unfortuanetly it was an uneventful day. We had a group of about 9 in our party out of 25 total on the boat and the fishing was very poor. The boat seemed to cater to the everyday locals that had special tackle that allowed them to fish near the surface in the large kelp beds we were parked next too. The 3 fish that were caught (Small bass) in the 5 hour trip were caught by these locals using their specialized tackle. The other 95% of the boat was using pole/tackle rentals and forced to fish off the bottom catching absolutely nothing. At least we got 5 hours of sun.

Wish the trip was longer than 2 hours! Had a great time and saw 2 whales. Would love to go on a longer trip the next time and hope to see dolphins as well.

1/2 Day Fishing Trip with my son
Tue, Jun 9, 09   10:00 AM jwmadrid06 Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We took the later 1/2 day trip, which left at 10:00 am. We got there early and were the first in line, therefore we got the first choice of fishing spots on the boat. We enjoyed the fishing trip, because it was a beautiful day and we were catching fish. The crew was good, because as soon as fishing died at 1 location we quickly moved to the next spot. We were not disappointed at the catch, although we would have been happier with more fish. The highlite of the trip was when one of the passengers caught a Halibut that weighed in at 27 lbs (biggest I've seen). The 1/2 day trip was just long enough time for me to fish and enjoy the scenery. I would recommend this trip.

Poor fishing
Fri, Jun 5, 09   10:00 AM Lukharsch Male 30-39 Local Family With Children
The 1/2 day trip included a good number of locals or regulars who the deck hands seemed to enjoy chatting with and the deck hands spent a lot of time fishing themselves. I dont really care if they do fish, but when one of the passengers catches a fish they should be available to assist with taking the fish off the hook and putting in their bags. The fishing was poor and it would be recommended to rotate the fishing times at the back of the boat so that all would get equal time at the best fishing spot from the boat while backed into the kelp beds. The boat was clean and the galley provided good food and service. In summary the 1/2 day experience would be graded Average at best.

It was a positive experience

We would have liked to go farther out to find more fishing potential. Didn't catch much worth keeping. Maybe the boat needs a Fishfinder.

Great Deal
Tue, Jun 2, 09   5:00 PM Zaika90210 Female 20-29 Combination Family Without Children
I decided to take my mom, and my visiting aunt and grandma from Russia on this evening whale watching boat ride. It was a fabulous deal, for $14.50 (which is a Tuesday half price special) we got to witness a beautiful ocean for 2 hrs. We didn't get to see the whales unfortunately, but we saw a family of dolphins playing around with the boat as well a group of sea-lions. The ship staff was extremely friendly and helpful in pointing out the sea life. The captain was able to tell us knowledgeably about everything that we saw during our cruise. All in all a beautiful experience! But I love the ocean, so I am biased...

Great Fishing Trip
Tue, Jun 2, 09   10:00 AM akhamil Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
This was my first fishing trip (but my son's 3rd) and we thought it was a good trip. The price was great, the food on the boat was great, and we met some nice people. I liked the way they rotated the fishers so that you got to fish from different parts of the boat. Also, liked that they went to different locations for more opportunities to catch something. (My son caught 5 fish!) If I would change anything it would be to start and end the trip earlier in the day. Although it says it's a half-day trip, it's from 10-3 so your day is pretty much tied up considering that you need to get there by 9 and may not get back to your destination until 4. And I would probably lessen the # of people that go on a single trip. Lines were getting tangled and there was little more than elbow room so not much room to really cast. Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend it.
