Greatly enjoyed this excursion. The crew were very knowledgable and interactive. No whales, but the dolphins were more than worth the trip.
It was a slow fishing day... 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

Upon arrival to the dock and fishing office the clerk was someone unhelpful. he seems unintrested in helping us. i bought tickets online and had "will-call" so i didnt recieve my tickets until the last min. he also said that they might not leave that day because there might not be enough people on board to go fish. they needed a minimun of 10 people. we only had 8 but ended up leaving anyways. On the boat was a different story. the deck-hand guys were very helpful and the captain was very nice. even though the fish werent biting as we wanted them to, it was a slow fishing day. it was our first time going deep sea fishing and an ok experience but i wish these guys would be a little more helpful in giving us a heads up on what to expect.
Good value, smart crew. 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

I have a great time every time I take the half day trip. Next time I am thinking about springing for the 3/4 day jaunt. The captain found the fish, I caught them, and the crew cleaned them. What more could you ask for from a fishing trip?
GREAT whale watching experience! Catamaran Adventure Cruises

I can't even say how amazing it was to see those beautiful creatures so close! From what I understand, we had a VERY good day... as we saw about 5 blue whales and a pod of dolphins... truly amazing! The guides/captains were really great and showed us all an unforgetable experience!

The whale watching cruise was fantastic. We not only saw blue whales, but we also saw dolphins, shark, and a pilot whale. Ride was smooth. Had a great time!
Wouldn't ever book again! 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

Boat was packed yet the crew managed to fish right along side with the paying customers!!! NOT GOOD!!! PEOPLE ARE RUDE, one lady even got hit on the head by another person on board. I'd seriously re-think booking this one! Honestly I'd like to say something good...even the fishing wasn't that great. Not too many ppl caught anything legal size...maybe just a hand full of ppl...oh wait that was the crewmen. My bad.
nice !!! 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

I CAUGHT FISH, HAD SOME GOOD CONVERSATIONS WITH FELLOW FISHERMEN & WOMEN, SAW A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET AND A MOON LIT NIGHT, BUT WHEN THE WIND PICKED UP IT GOT A LITTLE ROUGH AND SOME FOLKS LOOKED LIKE THEY JUST GOT OFF OF THE TILT-A- WHIRL AFTER EATING TO MUCH COTTON CANDY....

Fun but no sightings Catamaran Adventure Cruises

The ride was nice, and the boat was comfortable enough. Unfortunately, the day I went, there were no sightings of whales or dolphins. They did give out vouchers for 1/2 off tickets to come back and try again which I thought was appropriate. I plan on doing just that!

The whale watching trip was wonderful! We had the chance to view 4 blue whales in a relatively close distance from the boat. The boat and guides were very knowledgable and friendly. Everybody on board appeared to be having a wonderful time. I would recommend this experience to anyone/everyone!!!! Great fun for all ages.

I love fishing, and going to Dana Point is the best spot to do it. The crew is very nice, and the other fisherman on the boat are friendly and great to talk to. The only drawback is the price of beer, $3.50 for a can of coors light is a bit extreme.
Would go again 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips

Would go again when the fish are biting.
didn't see any whales Ocean Adventures in Blue Whale Season (May - Nov)
Fri, Jul 3 5:00 PM	inkyj22	Male	30-39	Local	Individual
I know that no company can guarantee to see any whales, but i still hoped to see at least one. On the last whale watching trip I took they would stop the boat, shut off the engine, stick into the water some kind of tube with a flare at the end, and a microphone in it, i guess to amplify any sounds that might be heard. I saw 5 whales when they used that technique. This company didn't do that. They just roamed around, or so it seemed. We saw TONS of dolphins, but that's not what I went out to see. Aside from the lack of whales, the boat was nice, the staff were nice. I had no other issues.
Sum Fun NOT ANY FUN 1/2 Day and Twilight Fishing Trips
Tue, Jun 30 6:30 AM	zapata007	Male	40-49	Local	Individual
Went on the 1/2 day fishing boat Sum Fun. There must have been 40 anglers and only 5 fish caught. The skipper did not put us on any fish. We fished the same kelp bed twice. I would not recommend this fishing outfit.
