We were lucky enough to see a whale that truly put on an amazing show--such a memorable moment. The crew was efficient, friendly, and very informative throughout the entire trip, which made us feel comfortable and engaged. Everything was also very budget-friendly, which made it an even greater value. Overall, a great experience and absolutely worth both the time and the money. Highly recommend!

Heard it was migration season so decided to book a 9am tour on a Friday…read more The tour was two and a half hours long and we saw so many dolphins it was bananas! We also saw a baby grey baleen whale which was such a treat. But even sightings aside it was a lovely way to be out on the water. The crew to our boat were great. Knowledgeable and ensured everyone was having a good time. They recommend you get there 45 minutes early and definitely do so! You sign in and then line up. A lot of people can be fit on their boat (if you get the group one) and the line can get pretty large and it's first come first sit. For 10 bucks a pop you can go on early. For 200 dollars you get the exclusive front top deck. I recommend sitting at the top. Please note that means sometimes no shade so bring a hat. You can sit on the first level or inside in the shade. The boat has a bathroom and after 3 miles you can get drinks! If you park in the lot attached to their location it's 10 dollars. Or you can street park on Quivera road which I recommend as it was super easy and not a walk at all. Would highly recommend regardless of if you see any whales just for the joy of being out on the water.

We came here on a Sunday evening for a tour scheduled from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. Boarding ended up…read morestarting closer to 6 PM, which wasn't a big deal. The boat has seating downstairs, upstairs, and outside, so there are plenty of options depending on whether you want shade or to be out in the open enjoying the views. There's also a bar on board with drinks (including alcohol) and snacks available. The prices are definitely on the higher side, but that's pretty expected for this type of experience. The crew members were awesome - friendly, organized, and made the trip really enjoyable. The views were beautiful, especially being out on the water during the evening. Overall, we had an amazing time, and it was a really fun way to spend part of the night.

Few things to note - it can be windy and cold on the return portion of the cruise so layer up to be cozy/comfortable. Also note that seasonally in SD the months of May and June typically have a marine layer overcast so it may be a gamble. The staff were the nicest folks and are very friendly and helpful. There are drinks and light snacks (think chips) for you to enjoy onboard. Overall a fun way to spend an evening in SD!

We had the most incredible private 6-person sunset whale watching tour with Captain Caitlyn! From…read morestart to finish, she was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about marine life. You could tell she truly loves what she does, and it made the entire experience even more special. Our group got to see gray whales (including a mom and calf!) and playful dolphins, and Captain Caitlyn shared so much interesting information along the way. She struck the perfect balance between education and letting us soak in the magic of the moment. What meant the most to me personally was how comfortable she made everyone feel. My mom is usually very nervous on boats, but Captain Caitlyn's calm, confident presence completely put her at ease -- and she ended up loving the trip! It was also so empowering and fun to be on a power boat run by an all-women crew. The whole experience felt safe, exciting, and unforgettable. I would absolutely book with Captain Caitlyn again and recommend this tour to anyone looking for an amazing, up-close ocean adventure.

We went whale watching twice this month, and both times we were lucky enough to see Fin whales with them. Captain Dom and Erika are incredibly knowledgeable. They explained so much about whales, dolphins, and their environment in a way that was easy to understand and fascinating. They use drone to search whales which I really like. The atmosphere on the boat was very warm and welcoming, and we always felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip. Highly, highly recommended! We will be back soon!

We had a wonderful day with our visiting family, cruising around the bay with snacks and wine! It was so much fun. We're definitely gonna do it again and I highly recommend San Diego electric boats.

The good: Sully was super nice and funny. He was late…read more The bad: The boat was filthy and rundown. There isn't even a proper building--just a sandwich board where you stand around waiting for someone to show up. No one seemed to know what was going on. We asked a couple of nearby businesses for help, and they clearly were not fans of this company or the constant questions about it. We still ended up having a nice day on the water, but for the price, these boats should be much better maintained. The cup holders were filthy, the floor was filthy, the seats were filthy, and the inside walls looked like something had been splattered all over them. It was really unfortunate.

He was a wonderful host, offered to take multiple pictures of us before and during the cruise. We got to see some sea lions up close and personal. The wine was good. There were a few different choices, the cheese, salami with crackers and grapes were also very nice and fresh. A great way to spend a nice afternoon on the water. Thanks for the great kick off to the weekend!

The boat ride was so relaxing and nice. We passed by some sea lions. Spence told us some facts that I barely remember now. He also pointed out good hang out spots for sunsets or late night outings. We got a few cheese fruit plates along with 2 bottles of wine. The spread was cute. Didn't do too well in July heat. But Spence brought it out a couple at a time and kept the rest in the fridge until we were ready for more. The wine was also kept out of the blaring sun. So it tasted great! The boat can fit 6 people. We rented out the boat for the four of us so we didn't get a random couple cruising with us. We rode by engine, not by sail. I wish we could have seen a bit of sailing in action. But I'm sure it causes more of a liability, especially if the passengers are drinking. Overall, I would repeat this again. The price wasn't crazy ridiculous as I have seen. Service was nice and so was our captain.

It was so fun and easy to take the Duffy Boat out and drive it around the bay ourselves. We brought our own snacks and drinks and had the perfect sunset happy hour.

They also have bigger pontoon party boats that are driven by a skipper and I definitely want to come back and book one of those with a bigger group next time. 10/10 recommend the pretty pink boat company whether you're local or visiting SD.
