| Other than rough waters and getting sea sick it was a pleasant experience. I would recommend Stagnaros to friends. The crew was friendly and informative. I enjoyed the experience aside from the sea sickness. We didn't see as many whales as I would have liked but I understand the nature of the beast. It's a hit or miss type situation and I realize this. The price was within reason. The length of the trip was a little long but understandable being there wasn't much whale activity and we had to wait for the few we did see to show their backs, etc. All in all, a good experience. Thank you!! |

| Not knowing what to expect, we were pleasantly surprised at the efficiency, cleanliness and friendliness of the boat, staff and experience. We saw many whales, not as close up as we had hoped, but that is the luck of the draw. Our only recommendation would be - take your Dramamine! When we were stopped, the water was quite choppy. Other than that, it was a perfect outing. |

| The boat was too small. There were about 60 people on this small boat. No place to sit and relax. Extremely crowded. when a whale was spotted, there was not enough room for everyone to enjoy. I have been on whale watches before and the boats were accommodating for the amount of people. There was not even enough seating for everyone. The boat is deceiving..it looks big, but passengers cannot go on the upper deck so it is a lot smaller than it appears. I do not recommend this company for whale watching. |

| Unfortunately, we did not see any whales or other marine life except some sea lions on a buoy and a few otters. Although it was a beautiful day in Santa Cruz, the ocean was very very choppy with 20-30 mph winds. Even with dramamine all three of us felt sea sick. Overall, we were very disappointed. The staff was very nice and the skipper very knowledgeable and they gave out rain checks since we didn't see whales but we aren't sure we are ready to toss and turn in the cold wind for 3+ hrs. any time soon. |

| Very fun experience, but don't go on a windy day or you won't see any whales! However, they give you a rain check if you don't see anything. Bring Dramamine or you'll get nausea and may have to feed the fishies!!!! |

Awesome!

| This trip was well organized and the crew was great. Although we had rough seas and were unable to view any whales, the whole experience of being on the boat was thrill enough. As a really pleasant surprise at the end, we were all given coupons for a free trip since we hadn't seen any whales/dolphins. We can't wait to go again!! |

| It was a great time, but I was sad we didn't get to see any whales/dolphins. The good thing is we can go again for free within the next three months. I would recommend this trip to people :) |

| When we got off the boat the shiphand gave us a raincheck because we did not see the whales. Really good idea because we bought two more tickets as well and now we will bring the kids. Which we booked lastnight on the phone. Thank you ! |
