What an amazing day. Beautiful sail boat. Very friendly and pleasant staff. We are so excited for our next whale watching tour with them.

The crew was great- concerned with safety but not over concerned. They educated us about the whales along the way. We saw whales!! My two 12 year old grandsons had a blast

What an amazing experience. Beautiful boat, very friendly and pleasant staff. Can’t wait to comeback again and do it again :-)

We found Blue Whales! Had fun. The crew was kind and knowledgeable. They also had complimentary blankets, water and snacks that the kids appreciated.

The entire experience was fantastic! The boat was gorgeous, not crowded at all, they had blankets (for people like me who did NOT dress correctly), snacks and drinks were included, a bathroom, and merchandise available. The only thing I would recommend to future passengers is to wear screen. Even though it was cloudy, my moon-tan turned into a sunburn by the end of the trip. All together, I give this 10/10!

Great experience! Very informative and fun trip. Our shipmates were friendly and fun. “Snacks” is a it of an exaggeration lol, it consisted of little bags of chips and crackers. Other shipmates brought bagels and sandwiches and if you’re going on an empty stomach (it’s 4 hours) we suggest you pack a light and easy to eat lunch. All in all well worth it.

Beautiful sailing ship is an added benefit to a great experience of seeing whales. Saw four on our outing. Great crew took excellent care of us. Highly recommend

Tenaciousjp

We had such a great time - beautiful tour and boat. The people crewing it were amazing and we even had dogs on board, which was not a normal thing. We saw whales as well- highly recommend .

We had a great trip today on the America! Beautiful boat, wonderful crew, and we had terrific whale sightings - very close! The free drinks and snacks are a plus. My only suggestion for the crew would be to figure out how to provide seat cushions as all seating is hard and much of it is somewhat slanted forward so not comfortable for everyone. We would absolutely do this trip again!
