Onboard our 50’ pristine Catamaran Yacht, our always low passenger capacity makes for an intimate at sea experience. The luxury whale watching cruises feature a perfect balance of gorgeous nautical details, and spacious viewing areas which allow you and your family to get up-close views of wild marine mammals including giant blue whales, humpback whales, mega pods of dolphin, and so much more. The unique 360-viewing walk around feature, allows for a perfect view from almost any vantage point onboard and means you’ll never miss a moment. Our favorite spot onboard is up front, where you can gaze down at bow riding dolphin, which will glide just below your feet on one of the dual bows, so close they are almost within arm’s reach!

Kayla and Matt were great crew members and made it their goal to get us the best views! Thanks to the whole boat crew we have an excellent time and our guests from Austria were so 😁😊

We were not expecting to see much but ended up seeing a humpback whale, dolphins and sea lions! Captains Larry and Lisa did an amazing job and were very knowledgeable! Truly a great experience with our family!

The captain was friendly and knowledgeable and courteous, and very gentle about the way that he captained the boat so no one would get too wet in the waves. While there weren’t any whale sightings ( I would’ve given a five out of five because it was a whale watching Trip), he did pilot the ship towards an enormous pod of common dolphin, and the dolphin were playing under the bow and all over to the right and left and behind the boat, jumping and frolicking and feeding andsome mating.

Just being out in the Newport Harbor and out at Sea was a wonderful and beautiful time with me and my wife and I would recommend friendly staff, clean fast and amazing environs

Didn’t get to see whales but saw Ana amazing huge pack of dolphins something I’d never seen in real life only on tv. The captain went out of his way and went further just so we can catch the dolphins. What’s even more priceless is the tie I spent with my wife. I’m always working and for years I haven’t taken anywhere.
This brought us closer together

We paid for two hours, but were only out for 90 minutes. The ride was fun, but we didn’t see any whales or dolphins. The captain said he would show us seals but never got close to where they were or stopped so we could see them. They gave us vouchers to return another time but we live 3,000 miles away and don’t plan on returning. I was disappointed with the captain. We paid a lot of money and should have at least gotten a two hour boat ride.

My husband and I booked this trip in hope of seeing a blue whale, as they had been seeing them for several weeks straight in late May/early June 2024. I am so happy we booked this faster boat, because Captain Larry was able to go full speed, about 9 miles out, when he heard there was a blue whale who would be coming up to surface soon. He got us there with a few minutes to spare, and it was awesome. Our first blue whale ever. Not only that, but we also saw hundreds of dolphins, the fins of a few mola mola fish, pelicans, and seals. It was well worth paying a little more because had we been on the slower boat, we would have missed the blue whale. His boat mate Bryce was also good. They did a great job of making everyone happy. As always with nature, you never know if you'll be lucky enough to see something or not the day you go, but I highly recommend this company for its professionalism and dedication to find animals.

A friend of mine from Florida joined me for whale watching on the Davey's Locker 'Catallac' on 5/31/24. We were not disappointed. What an amazing outing! The experienced crew was polite, professional, knowledgeable, entertaining, attentive to visitor inquiries and questions, and determined to find WHALES! Most importantly to me, was their focus on safety for everyone on board and that of our precious marine wildlife. Captain Bryce, along with crewmembers Larry, and Matt, took excellent care of everyone and provided all of us with an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this company if you are looking for sightseeing options along the coast outside of Newport Beach.
