Randy's Whale Watching
Sun, May 11, 08   2:00 PM Scuttle Female 50-59 Local Family Without Children
Friendly crew members. Beautiful day, got to see whales! Large swells; half of the people aboard got seasick; the dog got seasick, too! Be sure to take a seasick pill before you go..

Had a Great Time!
Sat, May 10, 08   2:00 PM franknocco Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
MY wife and I took the afternoon whale watching trip on the Chubasco. Randy's is great. Everyone was really nice. The boat wasn't too crowded so there was plenty of room on the rail for everyone. The Captain found two humpbacks, mom and baby we think. He stayed with them for the whole 2 hours. Wondered if we had seen more if he had tried looking for others but this was my first time so maybe this is the norm. Anyway the two put on a great show and everyone had a wonderful time. I would so go again! Very clean boat, nice people.

Nice boat, great crew, and lots of fish!
Sat, May 10, 08   6:30 AM susankathlee Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We had a great time on Randy's boat. My son was celebrating his 9th birthday! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Very kid friendly. The boat was clean, the staff were clean cut people. Only disappointment would be that I was told by the zerve operator when booking the trip that there would be 15-20 people fishing on the trip. I was excited about this as I knew it would mean more one on one time from the staff. Intead there were at least 35 people fishing. This made for a very crowded boat. The deck hand (Josh) did a great job at keeping everyone untangled and happy though. My son ended up sea sick but, still had a good time and looks forward to giving it another shot in the future. We will definetely be repeat customers and look forward to our next trip!

Didnt get to go with Randy's
Mon, May 5, 08   9:30 AM crysren Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The other people that were scheduled to go out wih us didnt show up. And Randy's couldnt take just two people out. Understandable since the price of gas is sooo outrageous! However the people at Randy's were nice enough to get us added to another group on a larger boat. Whale watching was a neat experience, but definately be prepared for seasickness!!! Even in fairly calm waters.

I caught some good fish and had a great time
Sat, May 3, 08   6:30 AM mikalis Male 30-39 Local Family With Children
The fishing was slow at first, but we eventually found some spots and I caught my limit of fish. One thing I didn't like was that we had to put the Canary cod back and they didn't live, they just died. I don't understand why we had to put them back if they were just going to die anyway. Otherwise, it was fun!

Best Fishing Trips in the Pacific
Fri, May 2, 08   7:00 AM jonesmrchris Male 30-39 Local Group of Friends
I choose Randy's Fishing because they have the best crew and the best knowledge of the local fishing. I have been on many trips and have always caught my limits (Rock Cod). Using the online purchase guarantees my spot on the boat. If you want to fish, go out with Randy's. the boat CHUBASCO is clean, & Comfortable. The deckhand Josh is an excellent help. Be sure to give him an extra $20. He'll clean you fish and take care of you the whole trip. Fish Fear that crew and those who ride on it! - Chris Jones, San Jose, CA

Outstanding
Thu, Apr 24, 08   9:30 AM tamarahoxie Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
My boyfriend and I were blown away by the owners at Randy's whale watching. They were the friendliest people and made us feel very welcome. We had never been whale watching before and we didn't wear warm coats and they gladly lent us some to wear. We loved the experience of whale watching as well. We were able to see a group of Orca, Humpback whales, porpoises, jelly fish and seal lions. It was very educational too. The staff explained everything that was going on. It was great. I would definetely do this again.

We came to see whales and, boy, did we see whales
Tue, Apr 22, 08   1:30 PM Skipper Male 60-69 Local Family Without Children
The personnel were really nice. It was a weekday afternoon and so we were consolidated on another boat, but it was a great boat and no problem at all. They took us to where they had seen whales in the morning and when we got to the area a pod of Killer Whales were attacking a Grey Whale calf. The mother was trying to protect the calf with little success. What was very unusual was that a couple Humpback Whales were inserting themselves into the action which was something the captain and none of the staff aboard had ever seen. Everybody was filming and/or snapping pictures. Because it was unusual and dramatic we stayed out a bit longer than usual, so we certainly got a good outing for our money.

Amazing
Mon, Apr 7, 08   9:30 AM facockta Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
This was the best part of our vacation. Everywhere we looked there were whales. They came up to our boat a few times and we got to see them jump out of the water as well. It was well the worth the money and we had a great time. I would recommend some sort of stomach settler though. 3 hours on a boat can be a little hard on the stomach.

I took 3 of my European friends, one of whom was celebrating a birthday, and we had a fantastic trip. Perfect weather, and got really close to the whales. thanks so much! Susan

Orientation and safety
Sat, Apr 5, 08   2:00 PM EdErestain Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The sellers did not give adequate orientation as to what the boat's physical description is and what the passengers should expect. The boat did not have anything to hold on like a bar or a string to hold on outside when the passengers want to move around to look at the whale/s. It's quite dangerous especially if the passengers are already feeling dizzy, but want to see whale/s for which they paid. The toilets didn't have water provisions and are located outside, so those who feel uncomfortable already, which almost all are, could not access them without being subjected to more discomfort.

A wonderful experience for the prepared.
Sat, Apr 5, 08   2:00 PM jamesstanfor Male 60-69 Local Family Without Children
We saw at least two humpback whales surface and spout and dive a number of times. At times pretty close (100 to 200 feet away). An unexpected bonus was just experiencing the raw power of the ocean. My inexperienced eye saw 10 foot swells that tossed our 50+ foot boat around like a cork. I and my adult children enjoyed it like a rollercoaster. My wife (who dislikes rollercoasters) got seasick in spite of the dramamine-like drug we both took 45 minutes in advance of departure. We watched a two masted wooden schooner who left with us get tossed even more. Like a scene out of a movie. Hang on! As we left the harbor we got hit by a good breeze, so while sunny and warm on shore, I was glad to have on a lot of layers. So be prepared for chill wind, salt spray, motion, and one should have a wonderful time if one likes that kind of adventure.

Great Customer Service, Good value
Sat, Apr 5, 08   9:30 AM my_melanie Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We were in a small group of about 20 and had a very good time. The weather was a bit breezy but otherwise perfect for whale watching. We found a pod of three humpbacks and followed them for a good two hours plus. The ship's master was very congenial and knowledgeable, making the trip even more enjoyable. We had one young man on our trip, Mikey, aged 6, who was a bit fearful on the trip out as the waves were a bit overwhelming for him, but he got in the swing of things by the time we were headed back to port. My only disappointment was that we did not get to see more than the one pod of whales, but then we did get to see those for almost the entire trip and even got close enough to smell their breath. Overall, randy's is the place to go, you won't be disappointed, weather permitting. Don't forget to tip the deckhand if he is nice.
