The Pacifica is newly refurbished & is perfect for whale watching. Lots of padded seating on deck & cozy booths inside. Our trip was no where near capacity so we felt safe & comfortable. We've been whale watching several times in Monterey with different companies on different boats & don't have a bad thing to say about any of them. Discovery really stands out because our captain, Rod & deckhand/naturalist, Andrew are welcoming, friendly, & knowledgeable. Their easy-going attitude & love of the ocean made us feel like they invited us for a day on the water. We saw three grey whales & so many sea lions & otters! The water was so clear & still while we were waiting for the whales resurface we saw many sea nettle jellyfish float on by. I can't wait until we cruise with them again!

Had a great afternoon whale watch. Saw a gray whale, two species of dolphins, and plenty of sea lions. Andrew was out naturalist and did a superior job. Capt was great at finding areas with things to see.

A well-run professional outfit. Knowledgeable about all the marine life within the Monterey Bay. All the staff was friendly and knowledgeable and check in was quick and easy. We plan to attend another tour with them when we visit the Monterey Bay area next year.
