My husband and I went on a Whale watching tour on this boat and we had a blast. Of all the whale charters in fort bragg this one is by far the best. They are funny and make everyone laugh and have a great time. They have an amazing eye for seeing whales. This was so much fun!!

I went out on an afternoon salmon-fishing trip. I enjoyed the friendliness of the staff, but it didn't take long for the informality of the operation to make things a little uncomfortable. The gentleman whose job it was to keep hooks in the water, took the time to chew out his teenaged grandson who was helping with the operations about matters which were partly work-related but clearly personal in nature. He did this in front of the entire group of passengers, despite the fact that there were places he could have taken the young man to do it privately. There were also a number of personal phone calls made, which just seemed unprofessional to me.
For the most part I felt that the operation was run well enough. We got tangled in seaweed several times and at the end of the 5 hours, only one person had even gotten a nibble. She did catch the fish, but the other dozen of us went home empty-handed, but such is the nature of fishing adventures.
The following are a list of things that I don't think are out of character or inappropriate for a fishing boat, but that folks who may never have been out on one might like to know ahead of time:
***Expect to get dirty. The boat smells like fish and you will too.
***Do not expect to be comfortable. There is very limited seating, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, as sitting aggravates motion sickness.
***The restroom is not quite as wide or deep as a small porta-potty. The toilet is short and the seat comes off easily. It doesn't flush nor is there any place to wash hands. It's hard to stay on the toilet and even harder to get off.
***The walkways are narrow, so if you move around the boat (like to the restroom), expect to stumble a lot.
***You are on deck at all times, so there is no shade other than whatever hat you might bring.
***Take motion sickness pills at least an hour before your trip. About half of the people on our trip vomited at least once. If you begin to feel sick, don't sit or lean. Try to ride the waves. I don't know why that works but it seems to.
Things to Bring:
** Snacks and water
** A hat
** A jacket
** Sun block
** Lip balm
** Hand sanitizer
** Hand lotion
I think if you arrive with the above considerations in mind and don't mind the minor lapses in professionalism, you'll have a great trip. -

We had a great time whale watching and blasting through the waves. This was my favorite part of Mendocino.

We had an amazing time. Our guide had a keen eye and a seekingly magical ability to spot the whales. He was also very friendly, courteous, and amusing. We saw a LOT of whales--several dozen, at least. We even followed a group of 6 as they repeatedly spouted together. The captain was clearly quite skilled at getting close to the whales without spooking them.
