EASY FISHING AND WHALE WATCHING COMBO

Can't decide on what to do? Get the best of both worlds on this combo trip! We will depart and decide on what is best to do first maximizing your time to get the most out of your 3-hour tour! After years of doing this, I realize that time on the water is precious so why not do both fishing and mammal watching! It's simple and easy fishing but it's fun!  We get bit 'almost' every trip and we to the fishing grounds fast!  If mammals are around, we wind them up and go check out the locals off the coast! For the serious fisherman, take a look at our Private Fishing Charter option!
