San Diego Whale Watch
We are so happy to be back in action!! On our first trip, we hung out with a happy Humpback, and on the second trip we hung out with a quad pod of Gray whales! This morning, we set out to the southwest, and only a mile from shore we noticed some splashes to the … Read more
Happy World Whale Day!! On the afternoon excursion aboard the Privateer we caught up with a shy pod of ~150 Long beaked common dolphins having a lazy Sunday afternoon about a mile from the Mission Bay jetties. We hung out with them as the rolled through the mild swell towards the north. We got a … Read more
Happy Valentine’s Day from the grays! We were lucky enough to find a gray whale zig‑zagging around just a few miles off Windansea Beach — probably doing a little feeding. The swells are starting to roll in ahead of next week’s storms, so it’s a bit rolled out there, but still gorgeous. We also got … Read more
We were rockin’ and rollin’ out on the Pacific Ocean! We cruised out of Mission bay and set out to the SW. We had some swelly seas but that didn’t stop us from getting out to deeper water! We crossed the drop-off and made it just inside of the 9-mile bank. Out there, we caught … Read more
We set out today with hopes for awesome whales and WE FOUND EM! We headed straight out and located at least five Gray whales! Without a bird’s‑eye view — or a drone — it’s hard to say exactly how many, but we believe there were even more. These whales were blasting south, holding steady in … Read more
The Northbound Migration has commenced! On our afternoon trip aboard the Privateer we headed as far as our range would allow for winter trips to the Nine Mile Bank. Our long journey paid off as we caught up with the first gray whales on the northbound leg of their migration! We all enjoyed this pair … Read more
Mama Ocean always knows when we need her most! She delivered an INCREDIBLE day of whale watching on every trip we ran today — but the sunset trip absolutely stole the show! Each trip had its own personality. This morning? HUNDREDS of dolphins everywhere we went! We spent the whole time surrounded by them, plus … Read more
We had a nautical day out on the Pacific today! Some larger swells rolled in with a bit of wind, which made sightings a little trickier — but we STILL FOUND WHALES ON EVERY TRIP! We spotted southbound Gray whales all day long. Watching whales in a swell is so dynamic: they float with the … Read more
We spent a beautiful day on the water with dolphins all day! On our morning trip, we pushed out to the west and enjoyed the smooth seas! Passengers were excited to catch up with a big pod of ~300 Long-beaked Common dolphins! They were really fun and surfed our wake and rode the bow! We … Read more
The Grays have had a FLIRTY February! We found our first whale pretty quickly today, and before long we were spotting spouts in every direction. It feels so good to see signs of life everywhere out there! Eventually we came across a cluster of spouts all in the same spot — and sure enough, we … Read more
