Come aboard Moss Landing's original and oldest whale watching tour to find all the wildlife Monterey Bay has to offer! -Daily marine wildlife tours with an emphasis on whales and dolphins.
-We run a longer trip, with smaller groups (20-22 passengers or less), which gives us time to find cool stuff and more time to spend with the animals.
-We're always the last boat in because we like to be out th

ere with the marine wildlife more than anyone.
-We guarantee you will see whales or your next trip is free!
-We've partnered with the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary to help with marine education by donating a portion of all ticket sales to the foundation.
-Our trips have fewer passengers on board than any other boat in the Monterey Bay. Most marine wildlife/whale watching boats in The Monterey Bay take out between 45-120+ passengers on any given trip. Coast Guard certified to carry up to 39 passengers. However, we generally average around 25 passengers per trip for a more enjoyable, informative experience for all.
-We offer a higher end trip and a better experience.
-We're the boat the locals prefer to go out with.
-No age limits and pregnant women are welcome.
-We use 99% biodiesel made from recycled vegetable oil in our brand new engines. It's better for the ocean creatures, the air, our engines & you.
-We're the only company on The Bay owned by a woman with degrees in marine biology & education and a captain with vast experience in both power boat and sailing seamanship. So you get the owners of the company taking you out and ensuring you have a great day with the Monterey Bay marine wildlife.

Calm morning seas off Moss Landing set the stage for twenty-five humpback whales, including three curious individuals that circled and passed beneath Meridian alongside large flocks of seabirds.

It’s always interesting when the Humpbacks decide they want to watch you. The whales are curious and will take breaks from feeding to see who is actually on the boat. It is one of the most fascinating experiences when the whales come close to the boat and look inside. Three of them did an inspection of sanctuary this morning.

Breaching Humpbacks are always one of the most amazing sights to see in our bay. Come see it with us! Thank you to Natur...
