From USD $84.50
  • Duration: 120 Minutes (approx.)
36’ Super RIB enjoys advanced capabilities in speed, technology, and safety with a limited passenger count for the BIGGEST SMALL BOAT EXPERIENCE in California.

 

The Shearwater is custom designed to offer key advantages over any other type of boat in its class. Taking out small groups at a time means no crowding, giving each passenger a piece of the action. And the open design offers a 360-degree view from anywhere onboard, allowing everyone a close encounter. Here are a few of the reasons why we call this the "Ultimate Whale Watching Adventure":

  • Brand new 2018 Super RIB, custom built just for whale watching.
  • Unique low-to-water design means dolphins so close you can almost touch!
  • A faster speed (30 miles per hour) means twice the action in our 2 hour trip. Our ability to get you to the whales and dolphin quickly and to travel up to 14 miles from port ensures the highest success rate and maximum viewing times of any whale watching boat in Southern California.
  • Each passenger gets their own seat. There’s no struggle to fight for viewing. The whole boat is the “good side” of the boat
  • We've built a 5 Star Reputation On Yelp, TripAdvisor, Google by treating our passengers like family.  Highest Rated Whale Watch in Southern California
