Wonderful Trip - We had a wonderful time and saw Pilot Whales and Dolphins that the crew was very excited to see. Four of the six tickets were a rebooking of a whale watch tour we booked in March 2023 where we did not see any wild life.

So many whales! - We got to see lots of whales! Probably at least ten different sightings of whales in a 90 minute timespan, and very up close, too. Crew was friendly and helpful and answered all of our questions about whales, and had laser vision when it came to spotting whales in the distance to drive up to.
The boat is docked on the north side of the bay -- we got confused and thought the piers would be in alphabetical order but actually F is first, so don't get off by the park (although it is a perfectly fine park).

Beautiful day for a trip - We saw a Moma whale and a baby while out for the afternoon trip. Then when we were heading back to the pier we saw dolphins!
Everything went smoothly and the crew was friendly and informative.
Parking was easy and a good deal at $3 for two hours.
And....yes they have two bathrooms on board. Lol

Great crew and a great time. - We were tracking a whale and her calf. After awhile she got really active and I got some great pictures. She came out of the water twice. Awesome and beautiful.

Loved this trip! - We loved this experience back in 2023, so we booked for Feb 2024 as well. We had such a blast! Saw 3 whales and a ton of dolphins. The drinks are included which is great, and the crew is the best on this catamaran, we’d love to continue to do this every year.

Meh. Definitely not like others I’ve been on. - We only were at Sea for 90 minutes. It is advertised as a two hour trip. When I asked why they said because they had to get back for the sun set dinner cruise. Then they should not advertise it as a two hour trip. Also, one of the female mates was very sarcastic to passengers, including me. I asked her if there was any specific area where whales go, and she said, yes, the ocean, and then laughed. I would not ever recommend this to anyone else.

The ride itself was... - The ride itself was pleasant but I don’t feel we went out far enough to encounter them.
Felt like we were in charge of sighting whales rather than the guides.
