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!

Great captain and first mate. Saw dolphins and other sea life. No whales, but we knew there was no guarantee. Fun morning

Smooth check in and great crew from start to finish. Enjoyed the ride and sights even though we didn’t spot any whales 3 different pods of dolphins swam by the boat and that was awesome in its self! Memorable experience!

I have been on many whale watching tours both on the east and west coast. My past experiences have been with extremely knowledgeable guides who were able to educate their guests about whales and were truly actively looking for them on the entire tour. While I understand these are wild, unpredictable creatures, I have never gone on a tour without seeing a whale because the guides knew where and how to find them and actively involved guests, continuously reminding them that they should all be on the lookout for blow holes. This was a nice boat ride. They were more interested in finding dolphins and once we did, spent the bulk of our time with them even though they were feeding and not interested in engaging. Again, I realize this is out of their control, but it was a whale watching tour and they should have moved on to what we paid them to do - look for whales. Extremely disappointing. I brought my daughter and grandson on their first whale watching excursion and it was a serious waste of our time and money. The last one I took was in San Diego - drive further south and check those places out.
