Stagnaro Charter Boats

The crew was very knowledgable, courteous and friendly. They were just as excited to be able to show us the whales as the passengers were to see them. The enthusiasum was contagious. Our group got a sunny day but choppy seas which made picture taking a challenge but made for memorable story telling. Out of my group of six, one was luckiy enough to get a tail shot! I would higly recommend this trip. Wouldn't recommend for kids 7 & under.

From the moment we left the dock and headed out into the bay the experience was thrilling and much more than I could have ever expected. We saw whales spouting all around us once we got close to where they were feeding. We saw at least 35 whales either up close or spouting not too far away. We even saw three Blue Whales, the largest animals on the planet. The whole family has not stopped talking about the trip to our friends and co-workers who are now so excited they plan to book the trip. I can hardly wait go again.

We had a fantastic time! We were surrounded by pods of humpback whales and saw three blue whales!!! The crew was great and provided information about whales, other sea life, and answered questions from guests throughout the whole trip. We highly recommend this trip and it is well worth the cost.

The 4-hour experience was really mind-blowing !! We were given instructions on what to do and what not to do. You must listen to them carefully, since safety at sea is very important. We spotted many whales, and were always guided very effectively. The creatures are beautiful !! we were constantly given info about what we were looking at !! It is very important to take jackets, sun block , glasses and a cap. It gets really chilly and windy. The chicken burger on board was good too !! Overall a five star experience.

unforgetable trip and meet whales as well

Everything was exactly as it sounded online. We ran into a good handful of whales while out there, even blue whales. Take the time to take this tour, you won't be disappointed.

Enjoyed my time with Stagnaros. A real once in a lifetime experiences. Will recommend to friends and family.

Great crew, enjoyed trip

Great crew, very nice.

We had a wonderful time on our whale watching trip. We were lucky enough to see several humpbacks and some other sea life as well. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat.

Had a great time. 7 whales. Always remember, you are on a boat, in the ocean. Even you if you NEVER get motion sickness, think about taking some medication.

I had a great time whale watching. We first had to go to the office and get tickets and then drive to the parking lot. The line was long but folks were friendly and patient. The trip itself was really fun. We were really glad that we brought warm clothes. Several of the folks onboard got seasick so I recommend that folks take meds if that might be an issue. We saw lots of whales close up and got some great shots. We saw lots of seabirds too. I am recommending this trip to some of my friends and they are anxious to ZERVE in the near future.

This trip was great, however a number of people got sea sick. We did see many whales up close as well as dolphins jellyfish sea otters and sea lions.

Best Father's Day excursion! There were some young children on the cruise. All but the very youngest had a great time. No problems.

We took the whale watching trip with my daughter and son-in-law who were visiting from Ohio. It was great. We saw several whales and dolphins. The boat is fast and it was a fun ride. I recomend it to everyone I know. We all took a dramamine befor the ride (just in case) and we were all fine. It can be cold so take a warm jacket and hat. Or you can go inside the boat but where's the fun in that.
