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 there 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.

Check out this group of Humpbacks getting ready for their southbound migration to Mexico and Central America. After the Humpbacks depart for the winter we have Gray Whales that should be moving through our area soon! We are very spoiled in California that we have the possibility to see whales 365 days a year

With all this hype on the local media of Great White Sharks hanging around our local beach’s lately, we thought we put up our eye in the sky and take a look ourselves. With in minutes of looking around we spotted multiple great white sharks just a few hundred yards from the beach, including this massive female we estimate to be 14-16 feet!! đŸ¦ˆ

You just never know what you’re going to see out on the Monterey Bay!

Calm morning waters off Moss Landing on the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary brought an intense predation event as killer whales targeted long-beaked common dolphins, alongside twenty humpback whales feeding near the head of the submarine canyon.
