My great grandson (age 10) and I caught a lot of fish (although they were all too small to keep) and we had fun. It will be a day to be remembered by both of us. Good trip for a first timer.

The crew made the trip an enjoyable fishing experience. They were quickly on the spot to help you bring the fish aboard and take it off your hook.

One of the nicest features about this trip is the opportunity to view the beautiful area of the South Coast of Orange County. The homes, beaches and views are spectacular. Rivals anything you can see anywhere in the world. I consider the sighting of the whales just "frosting on the cake". The boat is clean and comfortable, the crew very knowledgeable and the ease of finding the wharf, parking and access to the boat were ideal. My only suggestion would be to cover a larger area when whale spotting is slow, and to look for more schools of the various species of dolphins that inhabit the area, as these species are exciting to watch.

No Whales

Although we did not see any whales, we did see hundreds of small white dolphins. This is our third trip aboard the DANA PRIDE. It is a beautiful boat. Very comfortable with a good captain and crew. The water was as smooth as silk and the trip was great. We look forward to our next trip aboard.

Disappointing that we only saw a couple of whales at the very end of the cruise, no dolphin.

Have been participating in Dana Wharf whale watches for 20+ years and always take visitors. Not too lucky seeing whales and/or dolphins/porpoises but always a nice 2 hours on the water. Commentary is always good and helpful to "first timers".

Did not see any whales

I had the feeling that we were not looking very hard to find whales. It seems that the captain was happy to show us dolphins, we were not.

Request for more advise and information

This trip was with my son and his son. All were first timers on a commercial sport fishing boat. We rented poles. It seems the most success by others was with spoons or lures. The live anchovies were mainly eaten by the seals and pelicans. A suggestion to those renting equipment that maybe different types of bait (lures,etc.) might increase the catching would be appreciated. After all, persons renting equipment must be novices otherwise they would already have what is needed. The boat was fine, very clean and the galley and prepared breakfast sandwiches were very good and reasonably priced, which is appreciated. We enjoyed the experience and will do it again. But first I will need to get my own lures etc. The crew was fine and provided help when asked.

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.

Had a nice trip with my grandson

The fishing was not as good as we expected , but that is fishing!!!! We had a good time and my grandson was very excited. He lives in your area and I'm sure that he will be back to fish with you again and soon. The crew did a great job of tending to the needs of the fishermen. I would have no problem with going on your trip again.
