FAQ
-
This cruise does not provide whale watching. It is designed to be calm and comfortable, so we stay inside the harbor instead of venturing into the open ocean, where unpredictable conditions can affect the experience for both guests and the band. If conditions are calm, the boat may visit the harbor entrance to view sea lions. A variety of seabirds, including pelicans, herons, cormorants, and oystercatchers, are frequently sighted in the marina. And once in a while, bottlenose dolphins mosey into the harbor in search of fun or food.
