| Saw lots of dolphins and whales - good crew, comfortable ship - the rules state that you can't bring food, but lots of people did, so save some cash and carry it on | ||||||

| This was an excellent whale watching expedition. We also saw a hammerhead shark & a Blue Whale! The 11:00-1:00 time frame was comfortable with not too many people on board or at the dock. The Catamaran was very enjoyable, which allowed us to observe the ocean at various spots on the boat. Observing the Blue Whale as it eats & comes up for air was awesome, a sight to remember. The skipper was knowledgeable & helpful in spotting the whale, which made it a successful trip. | ||||||

| The staff was great. The captain kept us informed and aware of where we were headed and what we were seeing and interesting facts about the animals we saw. He was skilled at finding the animals and we were able to get pretty close to a whale. It was an amazing experience! | ||||||

Not Family Oriented As Advertised

| We arrived on the boat at 6:20 AM. The boat was supposed to leave at 6:30 AM. However, we didn't leave until almost 7:00 AM (keep in mind the clock evidently starts at 6:30 regardless of when you actually leave). My problem is that their web site specifically says that Tuesdays, their half days, are great for families. Their whole exprience is that it's easy for family and a great time for kids. Even states no experience necessary. First point, when we got on the boat, the boat was fully booked I suppose with stations around the boat's sides all around. My children are 7 and 5 years old, and there were no places where there was an opening station for 3 people (2 children and 1 adult). So as we set out to sea finally, we had to share one station together. Stations are only about 2 feet apart; it was nice of people adjacent to us to give us a little more room. This was my kids first experience with deep sea fishing. After the first stop, they asked everyone to switch spots with corresponding numbered stations. I asked a crewman to help me find a place or ask some people to move around so that we could fish. The crewman informed me that "that's the way it is". I told him I can't have my 7 and 5 year old at different places on the boat. I needed to be next to them, and it was crazy to think I would do that. I wasn't happy, and I told him that it should be his job to help. My two kids were the only two on the boat (some were in the teenager range). He said he didn't have to do anything, but it was more of "I don't care, it's your problem". We found a place on the bow (no station available). Then the captain comes up to me and confronts me in front of my kids for why I was giving his crewman a hard time. I told him what happened, and he said that it was my fault because I didn't arrive early enough to get a station (note, doesn't say that on their site except to be on time). I told him that isn't right. I paid to be on this boat and all I wanted was to be able to fish with my two kids. I then told him to back off; to go somewhere else as I didn't want this in front of my kids. He told me "Are you telling me what to do on 'my boat'"! At that point, I turned away telling him to just leave us alone. We can deal with it later. The other thing that he said was that he was a crew of 3 for a boat of 54 people. I suppose business is good enough to threaten passengers. I thought to myself, then obviously they aren't planning right or there's too many people on the boat. The best advice I could give the "Captain" is that perhaps he can do as other venues and ask everyone to fill in a station if there's one next to them. Thge second is realize when you're at sea, threatening customers is not good. Horrible experience, DEFINITELY not a family affair. We spent 2 of 4 spots catching Scorpion Fish while they told us we couldn't keep them because they're poisonous, but that's all anyone caught and none of the crew would come to the bow. | ||||||

| The talk by the naturalist was very helpful. The staff was friendly and helpful. We saw several sightings of blue whale and saw one of them surface repeatedly--it was spectacular! The dolphins were fun as the moms and babies lept out of the water together around the boat. We would do it again! | ||||||

Fun and reasonable family activity

| The free kids ticket w/ paid adult was what drew us in. This was a good value. The boat was packed - so obviously the promotion worked. It was crowded - so if you don't like crowds, you may want to try a different day/time. Boat caught about 30 fish that were keepers. Crew was helpful. Galley was reasonable. I would go again. | ||||||

Great trip

| I liked the whole thing. The only thing I would add would be a narration that taught something about the whales. Our captain had quite a lot to say about the dolphins, but very little about the whales. Where were they going, what are their feeding habits, breeding areas, and threats they face. I will definitely go again, probably with a couple of my grandchildren. | ||||||

| 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 | ||||||
