What a great trip!
Sat, Jun 27  1:00 PM sjtracey Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
We took my 8 year old daughter and mother (who was visiting from the East coast) on a 2.5 hour whale watching trip on 6/27. The catamaran was ideal for the trip - lots of deck space, very clean, etc. They only take a small group on each of these trips, so there was plenty of room for everyone, and it wasn't crowded at all. The crew was fantastic - very helpful and friendly, and eager to make sure everyone had a great time. We saw a HUGE pod of common dolphins pretty much right away, and then the crew got a tip on a fin whale and we took off to try and find it. Which we did! We stayed near it for a while (saw it come up 3 times), and although bobbing around in the not-so-still water was a little tough on some stomachs, it was worth it to see such a magnificent sight. The company doesn't guarantee that trips will see whales each time, but they certainly seemed to try hard to make it happen. We will DEFINITELY be going back out with them again soon!

Smoking crew ruined it !!!
Tue, Jun 23  12:00 PM Hnchao Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
The crew smoked non-stopped! I couldn't really enjoy fishing when i had to move around avoiding the smoke, even when they were helping you w/ the fish, they smoked. Wish there was a non-smoking boat. Would go again if there was.

Great mini ocean adventure for the entire family

Loved having a marine biologist on board. I appreciated them taking the time to locate the pod of dolphins so we had an extra exciting few hours at sea. Great staff too.

Excellent trip
Sat, Jun 20  1:00 PM Sjhopson Male 40-49 Local Family With Children
We were impressed with the boat, VERY clean. Left on time Crew showed great concern for the passengers by really trying to find a local whale (it moved out of the area, we saw no whales) Even without whales and with a gloomy day, we had alot of fun. The Marine Biologist was very informative too.

We were on the Reel Fun 1/2 day fishing on Saturday June 20, 2009. We had a great time. The guys on the boat helped all of us that needed help. Very attentive to our needs. We were a family of six. Ages 17 yrs old - 45. Caught several fish. We will be back!! Very fun day!!

TOO Crowded

Deck hands were great! But the boat was too crowded to enjoy fishing. I would recommend a higher price per person and reduce the amount of anglers!

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.

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 Fishing Trip
Tue, Jun 2  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.

Family Friendly

The Dana Wharf crew treats all passengers like a guest at a 5-star resort. They are patient with the children and helpful to everyone on their boats, regardless of their level of experience. And the Galley food is always great!

Fantastic, we had a great time!

We were nervous at first, Dana Point was one of the cheapest charters in the area. The experiance was definitly more than we expected. Thanks to a great crew and the help and attitude they gave. When we return I won't even bother looking for another deal, I'm headed for Dana Point!

Wow! What an experiace, Thank you!
Tue, May 26  10:00 AM earlrussell Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The boat crew was fantastic, both in attitude and help. My son and I learn more about fishing in this one charter than over the last ten years. We caught 10 fish between us including, (2) Barracuda's!, Calico Bass, Sand Bass, Rock Fish and a Scorpion Fish! We were a little worried with the low price but I will no longer look any where else, when we come back we're headed for Dana Point!
