History
The Privateer spent her early years in Provincetown, MA (the tip of Cape Cod), as the first whale watching boat in New England! Originally, she was used as a sport fishing vessel; however, the fishermen spent more time marveling at whales and began focusing on them instead. And so, her days as a whale watching boat began! After 10 years in Provincetown, The Privateer moved to Gloucester, MA and provided 28 years of magnificent whale watching memories on the east coast until making the move toward warmer weather. In May 2011, she made the 4-week voyage down along The Atlantic and through the Panama Canal toward The Pacific Ocean and more specifically, to sunny San Diego. With an enormous platform, she can carry 149 guests and provides an enjoyable, smooth ride on The Pacific. The Privateer has roomy, outdoor seating and open viewing spaces on the upper and lower decks, along with indoor seating. She is equipped with state-of-the-art electronics and is Coast Guard inspected for your safety. Join us on The Privateer for a once in a lifetime whale watching experience!
Catering
For your convenience, San Diego Whale Watch has a well-equipped galley for simple food preparation. We have also partnered with Ranch Events to provide you with a convenient catering option. Ranch Events can accommodate any size or budget and will work with you to provide the perfect menu for your event. While we believe in our partners at Ranch Events, we also understand that you may have a catering company that you love in mind. If that is the case, we are happy to accommodate.
