Great weather today and truly enjoyed the two hour boat ride. We saw a pod of dolphins but no whales in sight today. Still, it was a good way to enjoy a beautiful summer day with family.

"2025 Whale Watching"

After attending whale watching 2 years ago & excited to see a blue whale & dolphins, my neice & I had so much fun! However, when it was time to leave we experienced discrimination by two crew members. We had such a good time meeting friendly people & to experienced that at the end was devastating. There I sent a review & Dana Wharf reached out to me with 2 free tickets because they care about their customers. Two years later this month my neice & I decided to go back whale watching again. This time all the crew members were nice from the beginning to the end. Thanks to Dana Wharf management for reaching out to me after posting a review 2 years ago, because although we did not see any blue whale this time the dolphins put on a wonderful show & the experience was so good! We were both happy!

"THE FURY"

Booked a full day private charter on THE FURY. The crew was very knowledgeable and kind. We had several children on the charter and the crew was so happy to help them catch fish. The captain picked great spots to catch calico bass. Our charter caught well over 80 calico bass, some we had to release but most we got to keep. The food in the galley was great and the drinks were cold! Thank you again for an amazing charter!
