Overview

Onboard our 50’ pristine Catamaran Yacht, our always low passenger capacity makes for an intimate at sea experience. The luxury whale watching cruises feature a perfect balance of gorgeous nautical details, and spacious viewing areas which allow you and your family to get up-close views of wild marine mammals including giant blue whales, humpback whales, mega pods of dolphin, and so much more. The unique 360-viewing walk around feature, allows for a perfect view from almost any vantage point onboard and means you’ll never miss a moment. Our favorite spot onboard is up front, where you can gaze down at bow riding dolphin, which will glide just below your feet on one of the dual bows, so close they are almost within arm’s reach!

Captain Dani and Jill were fantastic guides. They both were also knowledgeable about all the ocean creatures. Even though we did not see any whales, we saw many dolphins and a sun fish.
Large crowd, not luxurious

Able to see 2 separate types of dolphins up close and Captain did a great job of explaining characteristics of sea life. Enjoyed being on boat with less people.
Sunny fun day!

We saw tons of dolphins and some harbor seals. No whales today. At times it was hard to understand the announcements. They were giving good information but couldn't hear a lot of them. It was a beautiful sunny day and the boat is awesome. Sure would have liked to see whales but nature is nature. The boat had awesome seating all around and very easy viewing without being crowded. They offered a half off coupon if we wanted to come again and maybe see whales next time.
