  Narration could have been more extensive and interesting. Safety demonstration could have been more serious and professional.

  The Whale Watching trip was fun and exciting! We saw humpback whales, a shark, lots of harbor seals, otters, and various types of birds. To my surprise quite a few people on board got sick. I would definately recommend wearing Seabands wrist bands. You can get them at your local drugstore for about 8-10 bucks and it's totaly worth it. There are no side effects. Randy's Whale watching was a great experience, easy to get tickets, easy to find and overall lots of fun.

  The crew did a good job getting on fish. No ling cod, which was the target species but we had lots of action with rockfish. Crew very helpful and the trip was enjoyable.

  At last, a fishing trip where you actually catch fish! I had my limit of rock cod after only about an hour. We fished off of Pebble Beach/Carmel area. The captain provided good information on depth to fish at and, of course, finding the schools. The deckhand was very helpful during the fishing and fileted the limit for $10. It was a very fun day.

  The water was rough, therefore some people got sick. I feel that the boat should be much bigger to handle the rough waves especially when children are present. The bathrooms need alot of attention the smell of the bathroom will make you sick. I have paid the same amount of money to do the same thing with better accomadations. GET A BIGGER BETTER BOAT SO IT WILL MAKE THE TRIP MUCH NICER.

  We had a great time, we were visiting our parents , we are from Santa Barbara, celebrating our sons 25th birthday. Josh made our experience really enjoyable, he was very efficient and competant. There were several novices [including me] on board , he never stopped untangling lines. We all caught our limit but only because of his and the captains expertise. Thnaks again

  Very informative and knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Wish we could've got a little closer look at the humpbacks. Did not see any other whales or any dolphins but as with any time you're viewing nature, what you'll see is unpredictable. Overall, a worth while experience.

  I took my dad, who was visiting from Indiana, on your whale watching trip as a late Father's Day present. It was by far the best Father's Day present he's ever gotten, and we loved every second of it!! The crew was great, friendly, and helpful, and we learned a lot and also got to see several whales and dolphins! Thanks for a great memory!

  I booked and payed for our wale watching trip about 1 week in advance online. We were scheduled for a 1PM trip. Our family arrived enthusiactically and we were told due to rough seas the 1PM was cancelled. The weather seemed nice and I asked why we were not phoned earlier so we could have avoided preparing and traveling to the docks for the trip.The person at the counter said they thought we were on the 10AM trip. Randy's had a hard copy showing our 1PM confirmation. Randy's apologized and said they credited my charge card since we could not do a future trip.

  This is not for people who get seasick. The ocean is an adventure and a lot like an amusement ride.

  My husband and son went out on Randy's Fishing Trip. They both thouroghly enjoyed themselves. The deckhand was extremely helpful, they caught their limit! The only thing I could think of is perhaps having small children wear a life-jacket, maybe anyone under 12.

Cod Fishing Trip

  After getting off to a late start, the captain took us about 2 hours south to some great fishing where I caught 7 large rockfish in the first 15 minutes. Afetr repositioning the boat, I had my limit in another 15 minutes. After a total of 2 hours fishing, all had their limits and I'm sure that takes great local knowledge and skill. But we seemed rushed by the captain to head back and there were a few of us who would have preferred to go deep for som ling after the 7th or 8th fish. We were prompted to finish up and get going and finished our limits in shallower water with smaller fish. Would I go again? You betcha!

  when I read that the boat is scheduled to leave at 6:30am and they wait for late arrivals everyone suffered. We lost at least 1 hour, and those people that were late new that the boat was scheduled to leave at 6:30 and if anyone late they would miss the boat and it would be non-refundable- Waiting till 7:30 to depart was crap. Also the captain's threat of this is the last pass I don't think we'll be able to stay out because winds were coming up was also crap, he did that to cover his butt so he could make it in on time for the whale watching tour and he cut us short. This might be the last time I fish out of Monterey. I'm not 100% satisfied and this isn't the first time I've fished off or Randy's but it might be the last. What happend

  Boat was scheduled to leave at 6:30am and it was very clear late comers would not get a refund, so instead of leaving on time the boat waited an hour past it's scheduled departure, I felt rushed, the boat seemed over sold, over crowded and there were no opportunities to fish the bottom for any lings although the current was a little strong. it seemed like they just wanted us to limit as quickly as possible so they could make it back in time for the whale watching tour. I've been on Randy's several times before and this time might be the last. I was happy we did limit, but at what cost? A trip cut short and the main driver was money not customer satisfaction
