Additional information:
This catamaran is the original pride of our fleet and remains a crew and passenger favorite. With a comfortable capacity of about 20 passengers, DolphinSafari provides an intimate private boat charter experience and one of the best sailing tours offered in Southern California. Although we are Coast Guard certified for up to 24 passengers, for safe social distancing we are limiting capacity to 20 at this time.
Her specially designed bow with Eye-Spy Dolphin Nets is so close to the water that you can sometimes feel as though you can reach the animals! And you’re also close enough to hear the dolphins vocalize as they swim right under your feet. It’s almost like being on a kayak. DolphinSafari also has cushioned seating in the partially enclosed cockpit and a restroom.
When it comes to renting a private charter catamaran in California, DolphinSafari is perfect for small groups to view the remarkable year-round whales and dolphins off the coast of Dana Point. A private charter on DolphinSafari is also great for birthday and anniversary celebrations, proposals, employee recognition events, and more.
As a premier sailing tour in Southern California, DolphinSafari offers an intimate, immersive, family friendly, wildlife-at-your-finger-tips adventure.
It’s the first, the best, the one, the only DolphinSafari catamaran in California.
Very close. Leave your shoes in the cabin and introduce those toes to daylight because there’s a good chance you’ll get wet if you go up on the bow.
No on-board galley. For private charters, we do provide refreshment options that can be served on the boat. These include deluxe boxed lunches, assorted snacks, beverages, and more. Please ask your Charter Coordinator for more information about the galley before embarking on your sailing tour of Southern California.

Nope! All ages are welcome aboard DolphinSafari. Kids especially love how close to the water this boat is and enjoy sitting on the eye-spy tram nets while dolphins swim underneath.
You bet! Your whale watching charter will have experienced marine naturalists onboard providing live narration during the excursion.
Absolutely! DolphinSafari is great for wildlife photography, though be careful with expensive electronics on the bow. A telephoto zoom lens for wildlife sightings, both close and farther away, is your best bet.
Yes, this vessel only does dolphin and whale watching, no fishing. There is nothing wrong with sport-fishing, but there is unintended bycatch that can result in injuries or death to other marine animals.
Yes, our sailing tours across Southern California are safe and are U.S. Coast Guard inspected and certified.
