Always a pleasure to go out on the water with Dana Wharf. The nicest crews, impeccably clean boats, and a great galley. I have been going out with this company for years and I am never disappointed.

I took my wife on a whale watching trip this weekend, and it was a great experience. Captain Steven and the biologist Nona make a great team -- informative, entertaining, and fun! You're not guaranteed to see any whales, but we lucked out with a gray whale sighting -- and the dolphins ... there were dolphins everywhere. I wasn't aware that there would be bathrooms and snacks, drinks, and cocktails available for purchase on board. This made the trip even more comfortable.

Our whale and dolphin watching trip lived up to its name. Saw a couple of whales. The first was a grey whale that showed us its side and then its fluke 3 times! The second was too far away to tell. A big highlight was the "miles" of dolphins which took delight in racing our boat and jumping for fun. Was an warm, sunny and calm day at sea and a great and safe reprieve from the COVID routine.
