| Great crew and a good experience other than the rough waters, which was obviously not the crew's fault. They went out of their way to give us the opportunity to see whales even though we had seen many dolphins and otters, and time was running short. Thanks for going the extra mile. |

| Mother Nature provided us with a perfect weather day at sea. Spotted a couple humpback whales. Captain allowed us ample time to watch them swim about. The Velocity vessel and captain/crew were exceptional. Of course it would have been even more exciting had we found some killer whales, dolphins, or a few more humpbacks, but that's just the way it goes. The crew will appreciate a gratuity upon return to dock. Well deserved, at that. |

| We went on the 1pm tour on 4/18/09 and had a blast. We saw sea lions, 1 sea otter,1 gray whale, and a BUNCH of killer whales! There were killer whales everywhere. There were multiple pods and and we chased them all over. We couldn't have been more than 50 feet away from them! The captain and mates were very respectfull of the nature and very personable. I highly recommend them;-) |

| The team at Stagnaro's made the trip just great. Lots of information about the Monterey Bay and sea life and they really tried hard to look for whales for us. We were able to see lots of Killer Whales! Thumbs Up. |

| I enjoyed this trip from the beginning to the end.
Some folks had hard time getting over sea sick. It would have been
nicer if the boat were larger. |

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!! |

| Web says Santa Cruz Wharf, doesn't matter if the printed ticket says otherwise, change the web page! At harbor, need better directions. Two piers wide apart, both with what watching sign (and hard to see at that) is not acceptable. We nearly missed the boat for both reasons.
The actual cruise was nicely done, which was the saving grace. |

| My whale watching experience with Stagnaro's was absolutely fabulous. "Velocity", the boat we went on, was well appointed and clean. The crew was professional and well informed. The captain explained in detail how and why the whales migrate through Monterey Bay, etc. When the whales were in sight, we got as close as we could, and they "performed" wonderfully for us! The captain (didn't get his name!)was happy to remain in the area for a long time, so that we could enjoy this awesome sight to the fullest! |

| The crew and captain were very nice, knowledgable. Friendly! We loved it from start to finish. Very nice boat, and we saw many whales!!! While it was a bit of rolling motion, it didn't bother us at all. Noticed some others got sick, and felt sorry for them. I also learned a lot about whales that day....great commentary. |
