Private Whale Watching Tour
San Diego, California
Trip Type: Dolphin & Whale Watching
Duration: 4 hours
Enjoy a whale watching excursion on your own private sailboat charter.
Under sail is the best method to enjoy an extraordinary whale watching or other sea-life experience as it can be done soundless under sail, gently and discreetly without the need or use of a motor. Sea life tend to be less apprehensive when approached by a vessel in balance with its surrounding serenity. Lends to a much more symbiotic and naturalistic experience then a big noisy and overly crowded motor-boat charter.
We limit our whale tours to groups 6 or smaller to nurture the experience and to ensure uncrowded rail space so guests can freely, comfortably and safely roam. This allows for a more intimate encounter with whales, dolphins, sunfish and other unsuspecting sea life.
Excellent choice for naturalists, photographers or anyone wanting to experience sea-life on a naturalists level.

Excellent choice for naturalists, photographers or anyone wanting to experience sea-life on a naturalists level.California Gray Whale annual migration begins around December goes through April-May, allowing for whale watching on both their migration south to Baja Mexico to give birth in warmer waters, and then back up the West Coast to Alaska for feeding.
Each year thousands of Gray Whales take part in the great migration of approximately 6215 miles or 10,000 km, the longest migration
of any mammal.
The California Gray Whale is a medium sized whale of the cetacean family and can reach a length of 52 ft, a weight of 36 tons!
They are called Gray Whales from the slate gray color of their skin as well as the grey-white splotches and scarring left by parasites living on the whale. The California Gray Whale diet consists of microscopic krill, which they consume in vast quantities. A unique feature of one class of whales are the baleen, which are similar to teeth, but actually work as a filter, allowing the whales to suck up hundreds of gallons of seawater to eat between 4,500-5,500 pounds each day!
Marine mammals actually have advanced methods of communication using sonar and make a variety of unique “song” type sounds. If you are interested in learning more, Scripps Institute in La Jolla, has an audio sampling and brief video for each whales species and freely shares it with the general public on the Scripps Whale Acoustic Lab site.
Gray Whales were the first to be protected – beginning back in 1937.The endangerment and subsequent protection of the California Gray Whale is considered a tremendous conservation success story. Having been hunted to near extinction, the species has rebounded healthily and now have an estimated population of more than 30,000 whales.
There are also Whale sightings of Orcas (Killer Whales) as well as the largest species on the planet, a Blue Whale. The best time of year to spot a Blue Whale is summer from mid June to mid September to catch a glimpse of either of these more elusive of the cetacean species.
Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to experience the grandeur and inspiring presence of these magnificent creatures of the deep sea. Up close aboard your own private and "soundless" whale watching charter is one of the best ways to truly enjoy a whale watching excursion. Come see for yourself.
