The Best Dolphin Tours Near Dana Point

38' Carver Yacht in LA!

I booked a charter with Slava from Wilmington, cruising around the Long Beach area during fleet week, and had an absolutely wonderful experience! We saw aircraft carriers, jets, helicopters and firefighters rapelling from helicopters. The boat itself is comfortable and has its own unique charm. The interior was cozy, with ample seating and enough room to enjoy the views and relax. It's not a modern sleek yacht, and it shows a bit of its age ... but for the price it is very good value. For the price, this charter offers excellent value. It’s perfect for anyone who wants a quality boat trip without breaking the bank. The blend of comfort, great service, and scenic views around Long Beach made for an unforgettable day. I would highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a relaxing, enjoyable, and well-priced boat adventure in the Wilmington area!

We had a wonderful experience! Eric made my boyfriend’s birthday extra special with loads of dolphin and whale sightings. The sailboat is beautiful and well maintained. Everything was spectacular and communication couldn’t have been easier. Hope to enjoy another sunset cruise with Eric again!

Captain Eric and his First Mate, Nate, showed us a wonderful time sailing out of Oceanside Harbor. We highly recommend the Captain and his classic sailing ship! My family & I chartered the boat primarily to disperse my mother's ashes. Although this was a somewhat sad experience for us, Captain Eric could not have been more helpful and empathetic. He even provided a bucket for that purpose. Nate's hors d'oeuvres and the champagne were top notch quality and most appreciated. (Not one of the seven in our party experienced motion sickness.) We also appreciated the Captain's willingness to take pictures of our group. He had shared lots of interesting "sea stories. His love for his boat, and the care he devotes to it, really shines through. All in all, our morning was a relaxing & pleasant experience thanks to Captain Eric & Nate!

La Bella Vita Hunter Sloop Sailing Trips in Oceanside, California

Our trip with Bill was the absolute highlight of our trip. It exceeded all our expectations. The boat was amazing! Bill truly wanted to make the trip special for all of us and made it a point to find dolphins and wildlife to share with us. He was so kind and genuinely nice. We would do the trip again tomorrow if he had any availability. We’d highly recommend for anyone!!

5 stars all round. The boat is in immaculate condition and Bill is a wonderful captain and person to be around during your sail. Bill went above and beyond to make sure our trip was special, going far out of our way (and extending the time of our sail at no extra cost) so we could catch up to a group of playful dolphins in the distance. We ended up having one of the best boat trips, saw the most dolphins I’ve ever seen, and overall had a blast. Sailing with Bill is a must - don’t think twice!!
