1.00We found the whole experience terrible! The event was cancelled do to weather and when we tried to get a refund all we got was the run around. I would never recommend this to anyone!

4.00Water was a little rough, but the great scenery and fun crew made up for it! Only 4 stars because we didn't see any whales!
A must-do

5.00Wonderful cruise. Couldn't ask for a better crew. Felt taken care of from beginning to end. Kept us entertained and they searched high and low for those whales. Didn't see whales per se...but we saw a lot of the mist from them blowing out their blowholes. Followed as long as we possibly could. Would highly recommend 💚

1.00Got a cancellation email at 12:33 AM prior to the trip. I did not see the email prior to the 10:30 show time. They said I should have gotten a text but I did not. Overall I’m unimpressed with this company and will not book with them in the future.
Perfect day on the water watching for humpbacks!

5.00Captain Jaime, and his crew of John and Tyler on the Pink Sails were so professional, informative, and fun, and we scored with great weather, smooth water, and lots and lots of whales!!!! I had done there turtle Cove snorkeling trip last year and the Pink Sails delivered, so when I was back for work in February, and I knew it was whale watch season, I knew Pink Sails would be the boat to go on. Don’t let the larger boat fool you. We got super close to the whales (legal distance), and having a large fun group on the boat added to the excitement. Everybody was cheering and happy and it was a great experience and a great day. 😊

1.00They didn’t bother to cancel the tour until less than eight hours prior. We were already asleep and simply didn’t think to check email. We did not get a text so we paid for Lyft waited and then when no one showed we checked again to make sure we were at the right location. Unprofessional. We rebooked with another tour immediately and fortunately they had openings.
Mother Nature sometimes...

5.00Mother Nature sometimes just doesn’t cooperate…. While we did not see any whales, my experience was great! The crew were fabulous and I had a good time soaking up the sun and just riding in the boat. I will definitely do it again and hopefully have better success.
Fantastic Experience!

5.00The crew did an amazing job taking us out to Whale Watch. They went out of their way to make sure we had sightings and we did! We saw a few adults and a baby. They entertained us with great music and info. Even stayed longer looking for more sightings. We went out at 5pm on 3/8/26, what a fabulous time we had. We also saw the sunset and the view of the bay was priceless. I recommend it.
Fun trip!
