Go for Randy's or Princess Randy's Whale Watching Trip

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.
Altogether amazing trip Randy's Whale Watching Trip

Randy's whale watching was a great experience. After we started seeing whales, and the convergence of other whale watching boats starting coming along, my girlfriend and I were happy to be on Randy's boat instead of one of the other overcrowded larger boats around. The captain was knowledgeable and friendly, and would always turn the boat so we could get the best view of the pod. We will DEFINITELY be doing this again!

This was my husband Marc and my 2 trip the first one was great I had a blast I didn't even get sick some tommy ache not much the weather was great, the second trip wasn't as fun I was sick the whole time I didn't take the the dramameed in time and well I got sick sick sick. we didn't plan ahead to see what the weather was gonna be like it was to choppie for me However my husband was such a sport about it he fished for the both of us and caught I believe 19 cod fish and six macreel which I love love love to eat. We are planning one more trip before the summer ends. The captains were nice but I have yes a favorit that is Brent such a sweet man and Josh well Josh is a charactor. Hope to see all of Randy's crue again real soon God Speed to all. I would give these guys a big thumbs up. Sincerely. Wendy Sisko
Nice Trip--Kids had a blast. Randy's Whale Watching Trip

It was a great trip out on the ocean. I think we got closer to the whales than the other boats I saw out there. The boat we rode on the "Carolina" has seen much better days but for the price it was a good deal! I would suggest sitting near the front of the boat..it seemed like they got a better view. We saw dolphins, humpback whales, and seals. The only thing lacking was comfortable seating and the kids lost interest on the way back. All in All..WORTH IT!!! Check it out!!!

Randy's Trips = a big zero! Cod Fishing Trip
Fri, Jul 11, 08 7:00 AM	agleadhill	Male	60-69	Unspecified	Family With Children
For the 2nd time we were disappointed in Randy's. Last year we had a whale watching trip cancelled at the last minute after we drove 160 miles and arrived at the dock. This year my two grandsons and I were booked a cod fishing trip that when we arrived at the dock at 6:30am discovered that they had chartered the boat to a large group and we were left 'in the cold'. There was no one at the office, no notice before driving the 160 miles to the dock (email!!), no notice at the dock. A kind bystander mentioned that they were a part of the charter and maybe we should go to Chris's Fishing Trips because he thought they were taking Randy's customers booked on the cod trip. So at the last minute we got on Chris's boat.....at least my two grandsons were not disappointed. Do yourself a favor.....book with Chris's.......had a great fishing trip with them!
alright, but not for small children. Randy's Whale Watching Trip

Well , the office that you wait in on the pier is full of smokers,nice people but no respect for the non smokers.The captain of the boat will wait for late passengers if you have already paid for your tickets, so thats a plus if your running behind.The deck mate only came out of the captains area once in awhile, mostly when there was no whales around or to let us know there was a whale,When, we finally found a whale the captain never got close enough to let us see them, And I have a zoom camera. When we found one, They didn't get close enough to reap any rewards, so that sucked.We were out so long that the boat raced toward shore for about an hour and a half at full throttle. so a family with a little girl , had to comfort her the whole time because she was vomiting everywhere. Another couple had waves coming over the cabin and landing on them , soaking them completely . So all I have to say is go with the Monterey bay whale watch(aka Sam's) We did them last year and they get as close as possible,And there captain doesn't beat you half to death on the way back.
Highly recommend Cod Fishing Trip

It is good to take sea sick pills starting the night before and then again one hour before going out. I did not get sick at all. I caught my limit of fish and then some, so I gave some away. The boat ride was fun in addition to catching fish.
Fun & Exciting Randy's Whale Watching Trip

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.
Don't Eat Randy's Whale Watching Trip

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.

But it may be worth taking dramamine - the seas were pretty high in feb.
Great time out on the bay Cod Fishing Trip

Everyone caught their limit. Weather was great, the tour guides gave us the inside track. No ling-cods but the rock-cods were all keepers.
Good Time Cod Fishing Trip
Sun, Oct 18 6:00 AM	johndtuttle	Male	30-39	Local	Individual
Went out on the Chubasco with Brian as Capt and Josh for Deckie for a low key rockfishing trip in local waters. Pick of fish was steady but not a red hot bite and quality could've been better. Pluses included a short run, but the size of the fish suffered as the local reefs have been hammered over the years. Needless to say, the boat did limit on small rockfish and one keeper Ling by noon so fresh fish (goal for trip) was had by all. Personally, I would rather pay more for fuel and run farther to get into less picked over waters. Josh was solid as deckie, Gidget (pup) was fun to have around to keep us smiling. Would go again if hunger for fresh rockfish strikes.
