Nothing really memorable except for the 1 whale n baby we saw. Substitute captain and his friend who he was training. They were fishing also and seemed more interested in that than trying to locate whales. All he talked about were his business’ on the North Shore and himself. Not very knowledgeable on finding whales which is what I paid for. Would NOT recommend the boat Sashimi! Boat was not very clean! Had to demand they get the water and ice that was to be provided and-waste of money and time.
Being out on the water was the best! My husband and I would have loved to seen some whales, but we didn’t care that we hadn’t. We did see a turtle and flying fish. We thoroughly enjoyed the company of Captain Mike, the water & sunshine!
Rick was Amazing. He knew just where to go! The waters were beautiful and his boat was clean and roomy. We saw whales and a sunset!!!
