Foxy Lady not so Foxy!

Not worth the money or time. We saw whales, crew very inexperienced at this. Boat and excursion a fishing charter not whale watching, no refreshments of any kind. We saw and followed two whales, but crew very inexperienced for this type of charter.

Don’t waste your money or time renting the boat SASHIMI!

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.

I could have stayed out there all day!

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!
