A (rare) tailor-made San Diego whale watching experience
We designed our cruises to be more than just another whale watching San Diego 'cattle-boat' (where you feel herded along and swindled the whole time).
You won't be promised any specific species and we'll work with nature to give you the most personalized wildlife watching experience you've ever had.
Plus, our crew will care for you like family and we'll never nickel-and-dime you for blankets, seasickness medication, or a ride on captain's quarters.
"Fulfilled my dream of seeing sea lions! The boat is very nice, snacks, lunch. Everything is amazing, I highly recommend it!

Prefer a snorkeling charter instead?
From La Jolla Underwater Park to the Coronado Islands (in Mexico), a snorkeling charter might be a good option if you're looking to get closer to animals on your ocean adventure.
