We did not have to ask the crew for these. They handed out and made sure everyone had one

Very attentive crew, beautiful boat and a great ride. Crew really interested in making sure guests were comfortable, enjoyed the ride and saw lots of sea life. Saw 7 whales, including a mom and newborn (24 hrs) calf. Had dolphins playing along the bow a few times. A little chilly on the way out, so dress warm!Written on Jan 18 2010

What a great boat and crew! The crew did a great job of ensuring everyone was comfortable. We did not see any whales on our trip. However, the boat experience was fantastic and we did get to see dolphins and sea lions. There were lots of shared snacks so you won't go hungry or thirsty. Wear layers, as it gets cold out on the water. I will definitely go again.Written on Mar 28 2011

I enjoyed the yacht Jada very much, the crew , Kerry and the Captain David were very attentive and shared information with all of us. While we didn't see any whales, (other boats didn't either) we did see dolphins, sea lions, and pelicans diving for the fish !Written on Feb 21 2011

Had a fantastic time! Crew friendly, attentive and safety oriented. We saw 2 whales and some dolphins and had great weather. Also the smaller group size is preferable. Thanks!Written on Feb 07 2011

Description
The annual migration of gray whales along San Diego's coast is one of nature's most incredible spectacles. Not only is the gray whale one of the largest animals on earth, it also has the longest annual migration of any mammal. Each year about 26,000 gray whales undertake a round trip migration of over 10,000 miles from the icy Arctic waters of Alaska to the warm tropical lagoons around the tip of Baja California Sur where the females give birth to their calves.
Gray whales are relatively slow swimmers and surface every three to five minutes to blow a few times before they dive under again. This usually provides ample opportunity to view the whales. Having knowledge of the diving, breathing, and migration patterns of the whales are key components to a successful whale watching cruise in San Diego.
Although it is possible to see gray whales from certain high shoreline vantage points, nothing compares to the experience of viewing gray whales up close aboard a sailing yacht whale watching cruise in San Diego. Whale watching is a memorable, fun, and educational activity for everyone whether young or old.
