Dana Wharf has always been top notch for all their charter and ferry trips. As always, we had a fabulous time whale watching. The boat was clean and well maintained. The captain and the rest of the crew were great. I've seen Blue Whales, Gray Whales, dolphins, seals, sunfish, and many other creatures. Watching the dolphins play and jump through the wake at the bow is an exhilarating experience that I highly recommend to anyone.

I have been on several of the whale watching tours in So Cal. Dana Wharf is my favorite! Free parking, fun crew & they will give you a free return ticket if you don't see any whales or dolphins. It's a win/win and any day on the ocean is a good day!

This trip we saw a masked booby, hundreds of common dolphins, a thresher shark, some pacific white sided dolphins, three grey whales, as well as a friendly sea lion who was waiting at the dock for us upon arrival. The crew always do their very best to find whales, dolphins, sharks, fish, birds, sea lions etc. Highly recommend!
