Stagnaro Charter Boats

Nice, professional and friendly. Great naturalist who was very informative. Parents and children all had a great time. Remember to dress warmly -- it is very cold out on the water.

The trip was smooth and exciting. Once we've reached the suggested location, the captain really did his best to chase the location of the Orca. It was difficult because the whale moves directions so fast and we were able to catch up with the whales and watch them on a closer view. Although our trip was cut short due to an unfortunate sickness of one of the passenger, we were satisfied with the effort made by the crew.

We got to see an Orca Pod- very cool! Our trip was over booked-not enough seating. Young crew for young riders. It was fast!

Our whale watching experience was fantastic. The naturlist on board was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. The captain and crew were very friendly, and we felt confident that everyone on board really knew what they were doing, and enjoyed doing sharing their knowledge and experiences with us. We were able to see several humpback whales and a few blue whales who spam right up close to the boat. It was an amazing experience!!

The crew were very knowledgeable and friendly and they really involved the entire group of whale watchers as best as they could. They communicated with other ships on where the best watching was and really found us a good experience.

Although the sea was a bit rough and quite a few people got seasick (nobody in our party) we had a great afternoon. It took a while to see some whales but then we saw more then 1! We saw a few humpback whales and even a blue whale which is supposed to be very rare. On the way back we even saw a killer whale jumping from the water. It was not real close to the boat but we could see it anyway. Maureen was a great host; she has great stories. It was a well spent afternoon.

Saw a sunfish basking in the sun. Saw many whale blows. Saw more than 6 different humpback whales. Saw a Blue whale from less than 50 yards away. Saw a humpback surface feeding. A Very nice day!!

the crew was very nice and helpful and from a whale watching standpoint it was great as we were lucky and saw a lot of humpbacks and even blue .. but I think the boat was really crowded. it was really impossible with kids to get to the good watching spots as big and not very friendly adults where holding the handrail as if their life depended on it. and only b/c the whales where kinda circling the vessel we could still have a glimpse. then coming back nobody let us seat anywhere inside or in a protected area and we got drenched. and I was with a sleepy 3 years old and nobody cared. I think if they were less people on the boat it would have been much better. like 10 less would have make a difference. so if you want to give a better overall experience, I would recommend selling maybe less tickets / trip. other than that it was GREAT :)

There were lots of whales to see when we went. Our guides were wonderful, offering us lots of information and explaining what we saw. It is an experience not to miss!

This was our first whale-watching experience and Stagnaro delivers! The captain and crew were knowledgable and informative. We saw not only numerous Humpback Whales, but we were also lucky enough to see a couple Blue Whales! I do realize that a large portion of whale-watching is luck, however, the experience of the Captain plays a major role as well....hats off to Stegnaro's tours-we would return in a heartbeat (if only we didnt' live on the East Coast!)

We were really lucky and saw many humpback and blue whales on this trip. The way out and the way back took quite a while, so I would have preferred a little bigger and more comfortable boat! On deck it was impossible to stay dry and inside there was a great chance to get seesick!! I was really pleased, when we finally reached the marina! But after all, I would do it again - just to see those wonderful giants of the sea again! Thanks a lot!

Went out for the third time with Stagneros on the Velocity. Amazing crew. Saw over 40+ whales. The Blues are just indescribable The humpbacks were very playful. Got some amazing photos. Will be back. Thanks Ken and your team.

I would highly recommend going on a cruise with this company. The crew was fantastic, Jen the naturalist that took a lot of time to talk with my 8 year old daughter. The whales were jumping, it was fantastic.

We enjoyed the trip immensely. The two guides on board were enthusiastic and informative. The captain and first mate were professional and accomplished at finding and describing the whales. The boat was clean, comforatable and safe. The ticket search and processing were easy. All around great experience. We recommend the early morning start time with smooth sailing, cool temperatures and lots of wildlife to view.

It's the second time my husband and I have taken this whale watching trip. My parents are older and enjoyed it too. Folks really need to watch what you eat in case you get woozy, as my mom got seasick on board. The rest of us were fine and we had a great time except Mom wasn't feeling too well afterwards! We were fortunate to come across a humpback whale mom with her baby before Mom got sick. That's something you don't see everyday. It was a great experience overall! PS Please do bring sunscreen and USE it, especially fair skinned folks. I peeled for a week because I forgot to put it on while on the boat! Happy watching!
