Dana Wharf Sportfishing and Whale Watching

I would highly recommend this company to others for whale watching. The guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the whales. It certainly helped that we saw whales within 20' of the boat but beyond that I felt it was a great crew that would make the most of every trip out.

We went out after the rain showers the day before, ocean was a bit choppy but we like those conditions. Within a few minutes we came right up to a killer whale, Shamu in her natural habitat! The boat followed her along for several minutes and we got very close. My daughter is taking Marine Science in college so it was very lucky for her to see the Orca on her frist whale watching trip

I saw the Ad on an EMail from Fast Trax. Loked like a good activity. I bought (2) tickets on line. Nice and Easy. It turned out to be a beautiful day. We saw the first grey whale for the festival thi syear as well as many many dolphins, seals and more. The (2) hour ride was almost too fast. As we were on the 8:00 A.M. tour, afterwards we spent the rest of the day enjoying the activities in the area and then taking a romantic trip up the coast to Laguna Beach. We will do again!

He was informative and entertaining - a tough combination.

We love fishing. We fish almost every weekend. We fish on a boat with the Dana Warf Sportfishing, about 1 to 3 times a year. We don't go that often with them because the total price is too much and fishing has been slow. The crew members are really nice and helpful. They taught us how to tie the hook on better with an easy, but strong knot. Some people catch big ones and even interesting ones. On these trips I have seen moray eels caught and even a large shovel nose guitar fish. We almost always see dolphins and sea lions. It's nice to be out there, but you may not get you money's worth. Some days of fishing are great, while other are not. I would suggest to just fish off of a pier you like best, you might have a better chance. We fish at San Clemente pier a lot. We hope fishing will be good for all people, so fishing on the boat might be worth it. Good luck fishing everyone, no matter where you fish, how you fish, or who your with.

refreshing, informative,spirit lifting and lots of fun!

Captain did a great job in getting us to location to spot fin whales and we even had bonus of spotting a grey whale.

Captain was very knowledgeable and provided information in very understandable manner. Saw lots of dolphins and 2 whales. Well done!

We didn't see any whales but did see a ton of dolphins. It was amazing!

Great trip, dolphins swimming close to boat, very informative and entertaining commentary throughout the trip, saw a grey whale, would recommend this trip

My mother who visited me from Japan and I really enjoyed this experience. I will have more friends visit me in July, so we will be back for Blue Whale that time. Great experience, clean and nice facility, great clue members, nice people in the office...we will be back many times! Discount card will be really helpful. Thank you!

Wonderful and informative outing

Terrific experience. Saw 2 gray whales, a pack of sea lions, and even had a pod of dolphins swimming with our boat. The food on board was very good, and the prices weren't raised like you might expect. Make sure to pack some Dramamine, though, they don't have any available for purchase on board.

My husband and I took my handicapped sister who is in a wheelchair and the crew was so nice to help her on and off and were very cheerful and kind. It was her first time and she thoroughly enjoyed it as did we. I recommend highly recommend it!

It was a beautiful sunny day. During our two hour cruise we saw a whale and a large school of dolphins. For a while the dolphins ran alongside our boat. Crew were helpful and friendly. Lots of fun!
