We went out to watch whales and were not disappointed when we got a rare glimpse of a blue whale! Many thanks to the terrific crew who gave us the trip of a lifetime! The America is a spectacular historic ship that sliced through waves and brought us to the sites of whales and dolphins. When the boat was without... More

I am a little late getting this review in but wanted to say a BIG BIG thanks to all the crew for such a fantastic day. So so professional, courteous, fun, informative, the crew were a delight to be with. We don't have any kids but they were so good with the children on board that everyone old & young... More

I am from San Diego and have been on many whale watching trips before, but this was by far the most unique yet relaxed atmosphere I have encountered yet. First of all, the boat is a replica of the America, a sailboat form the Americas Cup, and it is very different than the average motorboat experience. The tour guide was... More

Took my family - 9 year old son and 7 year old daughter. They loved it. Great tour. Saw lots of grey whales. The boat was so nice. Captain stayed out a little longer trying to find a pin whale he had been radioed about. Talked to folks in our group who took other tour groups. They saw whales too,... More

Whatever you do....take this tour. Beautiful ship. The crew is polite, happy and really make sure that your trip is enjoyable. Al, our tour guide is fantastic. He is a character himself. Very knowledgeable, attentive and was great with the kids on board. He kept them engaged and educated - while making it fun. When he taught them fold the... More

No one in my family of four could have imagined how amazing this adventure would be. It's was, by far, the best part of our holiday vacation and with a 17 and 20 year old, it can be a challenge to make everyone happy. We followed the guidelines provided in the confirmation and stocked up on food and wine, packed... More

Went on the America's whale watch sailing cruise with my wife and adult son on the day after Christmas. It was a perfect experience from start to finish. Captain Troy kept us updated on sailing conditions and the status of the trip several times in the days prior to the sail (inluding the morning of the trip). The America was... More

Went on this trip as a birthday surprise, and even if we hadn't ended up seeing lots of dolphins swimming alongside and around the boat it would have been a cool way to spend the afternoon. The boat was a beauty, and the crew were all great knowledgeable chaps, and Al the main guide wouldnt have looked out of place... More

We got all up close and personal with a Fin Whale! Apparently this isn't the type of whale they usually see, but that's OK because it was really cool. When they launch, you get to help hoist the sails. Don't be fooled - you're not actually sailing, the John Deer diesel engine is whats making you move while the sails... More
