Our tour got off to a little bit of a late start, but what a fantastic day it was! We had the perfect weather…calm, clear and sunny. Captain Larry was a great guide, throwing humor into the fun facts. He really made sure to find sea life for us. Although there were no whales, the dolphins more than made up for it. We were at the very front point, so watching the dolphins interact with the boat was amazing. Speaking from my own experience, we had the best time, even without the whales!

Went on the patriot. Was very disappointed on this boat spent more time driving then fishing. Out of a limited boat load for 120 bucks for 10 to 12 hours of fishing. If i wanted a boat ride i could have bought a whale watch ticket. Brought a friend to show how fun fishing on the water can be but for his 1st time he was disappointed as well. 240 bucks down the drain. For a boat ride lmao. Not sure if ill be returning to this landing. Maybe h and m or long beach landing are better... tickets were bought through Davey's locker web. Get there and have to walk to Newport landing to check in. These guys need get there instruction better for wen people print there papers out...

This was an amazing trip. We only saw one mink whale, but we saw over 2,000 common dolphins, two sun fish, and lots of birds. The dolphin were so entertaining, swimming by the boat and jumping out of the water. Kaylan and Christine were so knowledgeable and told us all kinds of interesting facts. I would highly recommend them.

Captain Larry was outstanding! He was engaging, funny, and informative. Waters were a bit rocky, but he got us through and made it fun for all. We could see hundreds of dolphins swimming and jumping around the boat. It was a sight to behold! ! This cruise is worth every penny!

I was visiting Cali from NJ and went with my sister in law and nieces. I was worried the girls would be bored but they loved it! The crew was great (bring cash for tips). The ride was great and the weather was perfect (bring a sweater as it can get chilly). Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales but we saw so many beautiful dolphins and sea lions. Overall we loved it.

Went today with skipper Kayla and Kristine on the Catamaran. 3pm sailing time. Saw dolphins including baby dolphins swimming alongside boat. Sea was rough so we were about to turn back, but blue whale appeared. Amazing sight. Sealions on way back. Pelicans, herons. Both Kayla and Kristine gave really good facts about the wildlife. Great trip and highly recommend.

Amazing time! Kayla and Mike maybe Matt showed us dolphins, minky whales and a blue whale!! Highly recommend! So glad we came!

We reserved this ride mainly just to enjoy a sunset boat ride. If we saw a dolphin or whale, it would have just been icing on the cake. Totally did not expect to not only spend about 15 minutes super close to a humpback whale, which was comfortable enough with the boat to stay near us for a while, BUT! We also found ourselves in the middle of a gigantic pod of dolphins, several hundred of them, leaping and frolicking all around us. Literally a dream. And the captain (Larry I think is his name) is wonderful, clearly LOVES his job, he was calling out to all the kids on the boat where to look, chatted and made jokes with the rest of us, and even gave me a pair of flip flops to keep since I stupidly wore high heels onto the boat. Overall, a fantastic and perfect experience, and highly recommend! Thank you so much!

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

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.

This was an awful experience. I purhased tickets on Groupon and selected a time. They changed the time I book without my consent and then when I arrived. They wanted to charge me an additional $45 per person to go on the boat. They are not honest and are scammers. Don't use them

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.

Captain Larry and Christin were awesome Hosts! Leaned a lot. It was amazing seeing the Blue Whale! Captain Larry respected the whales space, yet got us up close to really see her.

It was a fun-tastic trip. Loved it so much 👍👍 We had captain cool Lary and Mat onboard who were explaining us so many things… Beautiful experience.

Kayla was a great Captain! The first female captain we have encountered. Kayla and Matt did a great job finding us wildlife even though it was a slow day. We enjoyed the trip and would do it again!
