Captain Cory was wonderful. Lots of sea lions and sea birds. Don’t expect to see whales but lovely day and lots of fun anyway

Everything was sooo great! An adventure that you can’t miss! Sometimes relaxing, sometimes thrilling! The perfect balance! We didn’t see wales but well, you can’t force them to come out to say hi! But it didn’t matter because the whole experience was great! The captain Corey, was really nice, and caring about us, having fun and being safe! Thank you so much!

Sal was great! It was a beautiful and easy sailing day. The sandwich lunch boxes were wonderful and Sal entertained us and made sure that we were all comfortable.

Amazing way to spend 3 hours sailing around San Diego! Jim (our captain) and Kathy were excellent hosts and we enjoyed sailing with the beautiful boat. We saw seals and seabirds up close and loved every minute on the water. Not every season is whale or dolphin migration season, so do not expect to see them at every trip ;) Highly recommended! Remember to bring lots of sunscreen and a hat!

We had the boat to ourselves which was great. Allen was very knowledgeable and professional. We had a great time.

I took my family out for a sail, we were more interested in spending a day sailing than the wildlife tour part if it but we ended up getting both! Captain Cory did a great job sailing the boat and giving us some education on the area, wildlife and sailing. We had a great time and lucked out with some good wind and weather! Thanks Damian and Cory for taking good care of us!

We had a nice time sailing around, but our captain didn’t even attempt to take us to find whales. This was highly disappointing because I researched many companies, and I confirmed via email that I was booking the right tour to see whales before I booked. We sailed around in a big rectangle while eating lunch. I would not recommend booking the wildlife tour with them, if you expect to see more than seagulls and seals. Definitely not a “whale watching tour.” Wildly disappointing as we are here for my boyfriend’s birthday, and I tried to book something special for us.

My wife and I arrived to find we'd be the only ones on board. We motored out of the harbor, then started sailing from the mouth of the harbor. The captain let me drive and we had a nice upwind sail with a few spouts in the distance, but no whales. After about an hour, we turned back towards the harbor and enjoyed our sandwiches and sodas on the smooth downwind run. The captain pointed out a bunch of interesting sights as we passed, giving us a better sense of the area and its history. We visited a spot where sea lions haul out and many sea birds stop to rest and got some great pics. We had a great day of sailing, and I'm sure we'd have been right among the big whale-watch boats if whales had been around. All the other stuff was great. Good website for booking, instructions to take a Lyft over due to limited parking, captain met us on time, trip finished on time. Box lunches specified from an online menu were as ordered and included pickle and cookie, plus chips and soda on boat and alcoholic beverages if we'd been interested. We expect to sail with them again next time we're in town
