    I was honored to be included in a memorial to scatter the ashes of an extended family member at sea in Morro Bay. Sub Sea Tours provided the Catamaran for the ceremony, including the services of a pilot and captain. The staff provided exceptionally kind and sensitive direction to the bereaved. They let all of us know what to expect, how to handle any seasickness that may arise (which unfortunately did for a few of us but not me, thanks to ginger chews) and advised us that they would position the boat according to wind direction for the scattering. They were clearly prepared for this type of ceremony and very tactful in their interactions with the family. They also quietly pointed out wildlife as we made our way out to the open sea. Overall, the ceremony went off without a hitch and was a beautiful send-off for a beautiful person. Highly recommended if your loved one may have requested this type of celebration of life.

    We loved it

    It was an amazing day, we got to see whales,sea otters ,and dolphins. it was great experience i would do it again.

    We saw more whales than we expected! And also a bunch of sea-lions! They maybe could lessen the people they book on each tour since the boat had little seating. Altogether great experience! My kids loved it!

    Shout to Wendy & Dakota. You were both fantastic. You made feel comfortable immediately we got on board. We were so excited to see the whales. Thank you for making it one of the most memorable moments of our lives. Beautiful and magnificent. I was disappointed in the lack of supporting Wendy & Dakota.. tipping goes very long way for these folks. Thank you Wendy & Dakota for wonderful time. Give you guys a 10!

    Spotted more than 30 humpback whales and legions of sea lions in a feeding frenzy. So awe-inspiring to experience the abundance of life on this planet! Enriched by the humor of Captain Dax and fascinating factoids from Amy. Not to be missed!

    We had a great time, we saw plenty of whales and other marine animals, over all the whole experience was well organized and we got a lot of interesting facts and information from crew members.

    Thankyou so much SST peeps, our group of 4, with an elder (93) had The most fantastic experience here on a morning tour! Everyone was super excited to see several whales and learn about their tracking & pods of dolphins feeding like crazy! We felt very comfortable and it was a gorgeous day on the bay! Special shout out to the Captain and his lovely tour guide who offered so much valuable info and assistance when needed, one of our young travelers got little sea sick but you had everything we needed to remedy this! Just a fantastic day especially for our elder friend with limited stamina! I can't emphasize enough how much the sunscreen was a blessing, we all got a little suntan, just right! We will gather again in the near future and highly recommend this easy to get to location!

    Funny whale pic taken bu the capt.

    This was a great trip! The captain should have his own show in Vegas, very funny comentary on the way out of the harbor. He actually kept us out a little longer making sure we got another look at a blue whale in the area. He even offered to take funny camera pics with a toy whale.

    Excellent experience! Informative and fun, the crew knew where to position the boat for optimum whale watching.

    Are my dogs welcome for whale watching? They're perfectly behaved with life jackets. Thanks

    Call them. They always answer the phone during business hours.

    Would I be able to purchase the tickets for the underwater one the day of? I don't want to risk driving there and having it cancelled?

    Yes, you can. If the one you want is full, you have the option of buying tickets for the next trip. They do several trips a day. If a trip happens to be canceled for some reason, you will get credit for another day, so no problem there. The company… Read more

    We watched four or five humpback whales spout and breach; slapping their tails and fins in a fine show for us.

I traveled here in spring, so I don't know what summer bookings look like. The ride is about an hour long. We went on the booze Tiki cruise. The drinks were rather large. They offered two sizes, we got the smaller size and that was perfect for me. I was super excited that I was able to bring my dog! I paid for my 2 dogs, I only brought on (the other is 18 and he had been out all day, he was asleep in his kennel). They don't do Refunds, but I was supposed to get a drink pass, but I don't think I did? I didn't realize until way later, though. There was also a goat on the cruise! I like to call it, "The Story of a Dog, a Goat and a Boat". I think the boat only held about 22 or 24 people. It wasn't super cold on the boat. We were pretty shielded. Remember, people might be drinking, so it can get loud! I'm giving them 5 stars just on the fact that I could bring my dog! I can't say that she loved it (she was scared, she had never been on a boat before), but thank you for a fun experience.

We had a morning rental for 2 hours, which I think was more than enough to make a few loops around the bay. The staff member was very courteous and thorough with taking us through how to operate the boat, restrictions on where to go, and making sure we had everything (even provided blankets since it was an overcast day). The boat is easy to handle, and it's pretty easy to follow where you're allowed to go. We saw plenty of wildlife - sea lions, birds, and best of all otters, including a mom and her pup swimming exactly at the boat dock. There is street parking right in front, and a hotel bathroom in the same building. They also provide binoculars for close up viewing. A good way to explore more of Morro Bay!

    Overall, this was a wonderful experience…read more It was scary in the beginning because the waves were a little rough. We sat in the front and experienced "flying boat" - as in the boat was rocking so hard it left the water for a bit. Lesson learned for me - in choppy weather make sure to always ride in the back. The Captain was extremely knowledgeable and customer service was flawless. He knew the ocean very well. When he realized we were getting pretty nervous he made sure that the boat stayed in a position that limited the rocking. He kept checking on us to make sure we were doing ok. We saw whales, otters, birds, sea lions, and porpoises. It was amazing seeing them in the wild and they were beautiful. Make sure to dress in layers. It was cold in the beginning but warmer when we were heading back to the dock.

    Captain Stew's was a fun boat cruise that got our family up close to the resident sea otters…read more Their promotion is $10 bay cruises ( 5 for kids). True to it's name, if you have the cash you have a seat. To begin your voyage you and your group gather outside Captain Stew's office on the wharf. For all intents and purposes his office is really just a door with a grease penned phone number on it. Apparently you call the number and some person tells you to wait for the boat to show up. We just waited outside his door and walked right on board when he landed at the dock. No reservation needed. The tour is about 45 minutes, blankets and binoculars are there for your use. The captain does a good job with facts about the bay while trying his best not to hit the many kayaks that are tootling around. You'll probably see at least fifty sea otters as they're everywhere in the Bay. There's one other stop the boat makes on this trip and that's to pick up more/drop off passengers on the other end of the wharf. - Kids get a free stuffed fish - Yes, that's a Budweiser sign above the Captain's office door.. - There are several negative reviews for this tour, mostly along the lines of cancelled reservations. Look, would you trust a pirate with a reservation? Probably not, so just show up and if he's sailing that day have fun...If not, there are other outfits you can check out.. -Recommended

The short story: you absolutely will not regret going on a trip with Maya Sailing Adventures! It's personal, private, beautiful, fun, easy, and so relaxing. The long story: my sister in law's wedding was postponed due to COVID-19. So the day of her wedding we planned a surprise sailing excursion with Captain Terry. My first impression was that he was incredibly easy to plan with. Everything was up to me. I could bring anything I wanted to make it a special night. It was so easy to plan and get all set up! So we set up a 4 hour sail around the bay for 4 people. After 2 hours he would drop my husband and I off and let my sister in law and her fiancé sail together for the last 2 hours. My biggest concern was that it wouldn't feel private enough for such a special occasion. No reason to worry at all, actually it was incredibly intimate and romantic and very private. If you'd like to chat with Captain, you can, but otherwise he is manning the boat and you are on our own in the front of the boat. It was so private and felt like we were on the boat by ourselves. I set up a charcuterie board and wine tasting with 5 different types of wines. Then we ordered a steak dinner from Windows on the Water and served it to them before they set sail on their own. That's the awesome thing about Maya - it's completely customizable for YOU. We sailed around the bay and relaxed and saw so many otters - mommas and babies! And even a baby seagull! Seeing the animals was so fun. My sister in law and fiancé then went out of the bay and sailed a little bit and saw A WHALE! I was so jealous. But seriously- how amazing? I CANT WAIT to do another trip with Captain Terry. One day, I would like to do the same thing but with only my husband and I... But my sister in law and her fiancé had a wonderful time and so did we. It was one of the best date nights of my life and I can't wait to do it again! You won't regret a sail with Captain Terry and Maya Sailing Adventure!
