As someone who is well aware of the stress that people and vessels can put on marine mammals, I highly recommend a trip with the Mystic Sea. I have been out with them twice, once for gray whales around Whidbey Island and recently for orcas. Both trips were not only profound for the whale encounters, but Captain Monte is an... More

My 10-year-old daughter and I had an amazing time on our whale-watching trip. I have been on one other whale-watching adventure with Mystic Sea Charters many years ago, and both trips yielded incredible scenery, friendly and informative staff, and - what else?? - WHALES! My daughter was practically crying from the experience. I will definitely go again, next time with... More

I've been whale watching with Mystic Sea Charters almost 2 dozen times over the past few years, on both the grey whale and orca trips. The staff are friendly and informative and we always have a good time. The size of the boat means very little motion sickness. During the course of the ride, a great deal of information is... More

First off, I was raised in the Pacific Northwest but have also been lucky enough to travel to some of the world’s most beautiful places. But there’s nothing like spending a day on the water going through the San Juan Islands with the sun sparkling on the water, Mount Baker looking down on us in all her glory, and the... More

What a beautiful day on the water! We had been wanting to do this trip for several weekends and had to cancel a couple of times, but Mystic Sea was VERY nice about our changes and made it possible so that we finally got on the water for the last weekend of the season and it was worth the wait!...

Yesterday I travelled with a group of seniors from the Lower Mainland of British Columbia to Anacortes, Washington for a Crabfest aboard the Mystic Sea. The ship is very well suited to this type of excursion - there is a shelf down both sides of the lounge and down the centre that acts as a table and the sides are... More

Extremely fun day trip! We were late due to delays at the Canadian/American border, but the captain held the ship for us. It took about two hours to reach the spot the whales were on this particular day, but once we reached them, it was an Orca show! We even saw a baby. The crew knows many of the whales... More

We had a very long, but very good day with Mystic Sea! The captain let us know right off the bat that the reports said that the whales were headed north but he planned to do everything he could to catch them. It took over 3 hours to chase them into Canadian fresh water (the were just entering the Frasier... More
