Get to the ocean at least twice as fast as any other sailboat When you get to the whales we turn off the engines and will only sail so that we donít chase the whales away like powerboats do!Because you are going on a catamaran your rocking and rolling will be minimized by the stable platform and you will feel very safe at all timesSan Diego whale watching season extends from Mid December to March, but the best time to see them is in Mid January. San Diego whale watching offers some of the best whale watching in all of Southern California. The California Gray Whale migrates from the Arctic down to Baja to feed and give birth to their young. As they make their trek down the coast, you can take advantage of their time in San Diego. Whale watching in San Diego, California is like no other. With places like Point Loma and our scenic bays, you can go to any number of locations to see the whales.
Sail San Diego - Sail San Diego Whale Watching is also very special because we only take up to 6 guests at a time (unless the group is one big group then we take up to 10). We have the best Whale Watching Captains in the business. Most of who are trained naturalists and are at arms length away to answer all the questions you may have about the whales and the migration. We don't stop with just the whales though. We see sea lions and pelagic sea birds on every trip and very often get to play with the dolphin and porpoise that are curious about us and come and run in the bow wake for a while. It is soo much fun!! Our Captains will show guests what to look for when looking for whales and will pull plant life out of the water and talk with kids and let them feel it and give them some basic knowledge about the local habitat. We have literature on the boats about the grey whales that is easy to read and very informative. I am so proud of our Whale Watching/Nature trips and strive to provide the best experience for all ages.
San Diego Maritime Museum & Stars & Stripes America - AMERICA is the ONLY sailing yacht that opens its decks to the public each day as we head out to watch the grace and beauty of California Gray Whales. Unlike other San Diego whale watching tours that use diesel engines (which can cause some ocean-goers to become seasick), our AMERICA yacht is a sailing yacht, allowing us to offer a "no seasickness" guarantee.
