Absolutely excellent boat adventure at a great price. Captain Dave is awesome...he explained all sorts of cool stuff about the marina and the area, and he was especially kind to my autistic son. Strongly recommend! Christina2025-05-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first boat cruise in California and so worth it! Captain Dave had thought of everything. We had music, blankets and lots of stories and information about the area. I really recommend checking it out Neda2025-05-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Dave was awesome! He is definitely knowledgeable about the area and eager to share with others. He made sure the boat was prepared with blankets for the chilly weather and blue tooth speakers so we could create our own music vibe. Very hospitable! For my group, 90 minutes was the perfect length of time. Would recommend visitors (and even locals!) to check it out. Suzie2025-05-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great way to spend 90 minutes! I went here for a friend's bachelorette party with a crew that wanted something fun but relaxing. It was nice just being on the water with friends with in a great atmosphere provided by Captain Dave's custom boat. Plus we saw a ton of barking seals and pelicans. Highly recommend! Becca2025-04-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great time celebrating a bachelorette party on captain Dave’s harbor cruise!! He was so welcoming and made it a fun experience! Michelle2025-04-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I took Captain Dave’s tour and had a lovely time seeing marine life, learning about a shipwreck and spotting all the zoo animals on the marine safari. The boat was safe, clean and festive. Thanks again Dave! James2025-04-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great time for a bachelor party out on the harbor. He was super chill and safe Susana2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took the sunset cruise the other day and it was amazing. Captain Dave is awesome, he knows a lot about the history of the Channel Islands and the different marine life around. We were fortunate to see dolphins right next to our boat! We will definitely be back! Rebecca2025-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took the 90 minute harbor cruise with Cap'n Dave at 6:30pm on March 24th and it was amazing! Dave is a lifelong local with strong connections in the community, which allowed him to share lots of knowledge and history of the area. He's full of interesting facts and stories, which he shares throughout the tour. On top of a really fun and engaging host, we got to see lots of local wildlife - to include sea lions (in the water and on the shore) and dolphins! We were up close to them and a variety of seabirds. Dave's tour is really budget friendly compared to similar options in the area. We really got a lot out of the experience and would highly recommend to others interested in such an activity.
