Easy location to get to from downtown Oceanside. Crew was professional and the boat was beautiful. We saw dolphins, seals, sea lions, sharks and humpback whale momma and baby.
Great day out on the boat! We didn’t see whales on this visit but did see a very large pod of common dolphins that were great to watch! Staff were very nice and informative. Boat was clean, comfortable. The bartender made a killer Bloody Mary! We had great weather and great visibility. Really enjoyed the tour.
We booked the tour for a mid morning activity while in the area for our wedding anniversary. The boat, crew, whales and sharks were great. Booking online provided easy to understand instructions and easy payment.
The ship was delightful. Very clean and well appointed. A cruise along the coast on her by itself would have been great. But then we encountered a pod of dolphins that we enjoyed being with for probably an hour. Absolutely fantastic. The skipper announced that he saw a whale, but I never did. Then we happened upon very large (10’ long??) shark and stayed with him/her for 5 minutes or so Really a great time!!
We're glad you had a great time. Shark sightings are rare, feel special. We hope you can join us again soon.
We saw a ton of dolphins and a rare sighting of a Mako shark. The staff was knowledgeable and very nice. I went solo and felt very comfortable on board. Would recommend!!!
We love hearing good things about our crew, thank you! Mako shark sighting is awesome! We are glad you felt comfortable and had a good time. We hope you can cruise with us again soon.
Great experience, staff value quality cleanliness!
Thank you for the kind review. We are glad you had a great time. We hope you can cruise with us again soon.
The captain and his crew work really hard to make sure everyone sees a whale! And they found dolphins at the last minute too!
Thank you for recognizing that our crew does their best to insure everyone has a good time. We are glad you enjoyed your trip. We appreciate your kind review and hope you can cruise with us again soon.
Glad it was only 2 hours. Never saw any whales. Was bored after we saw some dolphins. Staff were friendly enough.
Unfortunately, it is a big ocean and they are wild animals. Bright side is you did get to see dolphin; we have had trips that didn't seen anything. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
The tour was amazing. We saw a family of 3 gray whales and a huge pod of dolphins. Sunset was beautiful on the water.
Yay! We are so glad you had a wonderful time and that you got to see whales and dolphins. We agree, the sunset from the water is the best!
The catamaran was incredibly clean with an experienced guide who let us know about possible marine wildlife that we may see. Although we only saw 2 common dolphin pods on this excursion and no whales, the views from the ship were amazing and a memorable experience.
We are glad you had a good time. Thank you for your kind review. We hope you can join us again soon.
