Initial impression was very offensive.
Sun, Jun 28, 09   6:00 AM odejillo Male 20-29 Local Family Without Children
When my party (5) and I arrived at the pier we were greeted by an elderly lady at the counter who was (incharge or registration/fishing licenses) very rude and spoke to us with no courtesy. I felt as if she wanted us to leave. Given it was early and clearly she did not want to be there, but we had been planning this trip for over a month and if Josh and the Captain didn't save the day by being VERY friendly and willing to teach us, then I would have demanded my money back. Everyone has bad days, but it was not professional to be rude to paying customers. Sincerely, Oliver Dejillo

Nice if not too choppy

We had a good trip but bare in mind that due to the size of the boat heavier seas will make viewing uncomfortable if you suffer from sea sickness. Our trip had the boat desk at around 45 degrees on several occasions.

We only paid $60 but got a great show. We saw 3 species of Dolphins together which i heard was very rare but we also saw 3 humpbacks about 30 yards away! one even jumped out of the water! As the captain said the whales were "showing off"! Highly recommended!!

Friends and Family Fishing Trip
Sat, Jun 13, 09   6:00 AM Tomas_Cascio Male 30-39 Local Group of Friends
We arrived on time and was treated with great service at the counter. I have previously been on this trip in years past as this was a trip i took my father on around Father's day in June. Since my Father's passing i resumed to take my son on this trip and brought a bunch of friends along for the trip. The trip out to sea was not bad my only question was in previous trips I believe we drove farther south along the coast towards point Sur. This trip we didn't and its just my guess as to why not many fish caught on trip as previous years but could be due to overfished seas. But all in all it was a good experience that I would reccommend to others.

nice boat ride, knowledgable captain
Tue, Jun 9, 09   10:00 AM guppygal Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We saw lots of dolphins, seals, sea birds, including an albatross, but no whales - someone forgot to invite them... The weather was sunny and warm and the water was smooth. There were less than 20 folks on our boat, including a baby, so it wasn't crowded at all. We took advantage of numerous photo opportunities and actually photographed a couple of dolphins breaching. Overall, it was an enjoyable trip and given the chance, we'll happily try it again.

We saw Killer Whales ...
Thu, May 21, 09   10:00 AM jldstinson Female 20-29 Local Family With Children
It was awesome ... though if I went again I would take something for my motion sickness. We had a 6 month old and she loved it ... minus having to adjust to wearing her life jacket. They have a cabin inside with windows so you can stay out of the wind (and cold). It was great, the crew was great, and we had a great time. I just wish I had taken something for the motion sickness!

good trip

This was our second rock fishing trip with Randys, and we were successful again. The water was rough in the morning, but that is how it is. We all got our limit, and we will return again.

My sons and I had a very good time.
Sun, May 10, 09   6:00 AM brucepace Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The crew was very helpful and the boat was in great shape. The only bad note is that when I called prior to the trip I was told that $18 covered the pole, tackle, and sack. When we got to Randy's this was not the case, each was charged seperately. And when we wer told that our parking was validated we assumed we could park for free. Upon exiting the parking lot we has to pay $5 with our validated ticket. But all in all we had a great time and would go again.

Where were the whales?
Sat, May 9, 09   10:00 AM rvgrunsven Male 20-29 International Tourist(s) Unspecified
We went on a trip with Randy's on May 9, 2009. The reception at Randy's shack was very friendly; then we were allowed to go to the deck behind the shack from where we could see the sea lions which was very nice. The checking in procedure at the actual boat went quite smoothly, the woman who was going to be our 'guide' was very enthousiastic and knowledgeable. The actual trip was a bit of a disappointment; not because of the staff or the boat itself but only because we saw one whale! However, you can't blame the organisation for this and they warn you for things like this on their website. In our case the probable cause was the presence of killer whales in the area so the humpback maybe went a bit shy. The ride was a bit rocky as well due to strong winds which caused high waves. The staff were very helpful though in providing tablets and bags for passengers who got ill and they also cleaned the toilet on a few occasions as some of the passengers didn't make it to the end of the boat... All in all I can't fault the organisation on anything, just a big shame that the whales didn't show up!

Good Times
Sun, May 3, 09   6:00 AM robbylit Male 20-29 Local Group of Friends
Great outing for a group of friends. Everyone hit or came close to hitting maximum catch. Great location and views (when not completely foggy) Only draw back was crowded boat (tangled lines every other cast) and no place to filet fish- had to pay.

Great trip

I have never seen a whale before, now I can say with great joy that I have seen many; killer and humpback whales. Thank you so much! Darlene

Go for Randy's or Princess
Sun, Apr 12, 09   10:00 AM FairuzA Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified
When we arrived at Randy's they told us that they didn't have enough people for one of their boats. They told us that they combined forces with Princess tours and that we would be going out with the Princess crew and their guests. I liked the fact that Randy's combined resources with princess instead of taking an empty boat out. The princess crew did their best but whales cannot be summoned on demand. We had one viewing of a large grey whale which was spectacular. It was nice day and the boat ride was nice with beautiful views of the shoreline. For die hard whale watchers I would recommend people going out during a season when whales are more prevalent. If your more realistic and understand that animals are animals and do not exist for your viewing pleasure, then enjoy the ride regardless of whether you see anything.

Recommended for all!

This whale watching tour was very exciting. We got to see a whale breach the surface of the ocean and then resurface numerous times. Make sure you go when the weather is calm and there are few swells. We took a three our excursion and would recommend a shorter one but that might be because it was windy the day we went. The skipper (Bill) was friendly and socialized with the passengers on board his vessel. Recommended for all ages.

Whale watching review
Sat, Mar 28, 09   10:00 AM michaelwsf Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The holding area was a bit strong with a fishy/garbage smell but had a nice viewing of the sea lions. The boats seemed to be a bit smaller than other tour groups and filled up quickly. The tour was not for the faint of heart with a choppy ride out, and quite rough when the boat stopped for the viewing. A majority of the boat got ill, which was not a pleasant experience but understandable. The crew was great with a biologist on hand to explain what we were seeing and available for questions. The captain clearly explained his intentions and added to the experience.
