What To Expect
Hop on board our new super fast RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat). It's an exhilarating ride out to wherever the mammals and fish are! We will cruise the majestic California coastline in search of pods of dolphins and migrating whales. Get up close and personal with these ocean mammals in their natural environment with chances of seeing other animals such as sea lions, sharks, sunfish and on rare occasions, Orcas!
Afterwards we will pull into a local reef or kelp bed to drop over some lines to have a chance at catching a fish! Fishing licenses are required for anyone age 16 or over.
This is a three our tour and is either a private or semi-private experience as there are only six spots per trip. For PRIVATE groups the price will be $800 for the boat and no one else but your group will be on the trip. Water and simple snacks are available.

Dec 2022Yes. Whatever the fishing calls for: live bait, frozen bait, cut bait, or chum, our Charter Captains will have plentiful supplies on hand. The same thing goes for artificial bait such as lures, flies, or plugs.
Jul 2022If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
