Luxury Whale Watching - Fewer People, Extra Speed, Expert Staff

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!

This time of year it is really cold! Boat was very basic. Not much information from captain or crew.

The trip was canceled to the high wind event in California. The tour company called well in advance of the scheduled departure.

Great experience overall. We did the VIP experience and it was worth it if you plan on getting a drink. Kayla and Bryce were the crew and they did a fantastic job! We saw a junior Humpback whale and a Grey whale while we were out. This was my first whale watching trip, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but seeing them in person was quite impressive. I'd definitely recommend anyone who hasn't gone to try it.
