Wonderful experience! Dave, the crew member, was amazing. He was a fountain of information, and I could tell he enjoys what he does. We saw humpback whales, a rare minkie whale, sunfish. sea otters, sea lions, and all sorts of birds. So fun!

An afternoon cruise with Chris' on Aug 5, 2022 was a great experience on a nice little fishing boat (and a very affordable one, too!). The captain and the crew were excellent. They made sure we were having a nice and a comfy ride while telling us some interesting sea wildlife facts and trivia along the way. Highly recommended, 10/10.

We had a whale of a time whale watching with Chris Fishing and Whale Tours. We saw several whale mostly 3-4 at a time.We also saw otters and seal. The tour was informative and the staff was friendly and helpful. The water was rough so just a fyi for those who get seasickness, you should maybe take something before going. The staff also said that eating dry bread or bagels in the morning before helps to calm the acid in your stomach. Also water is calmer in the morning

James Shaw | Aug 25, 2019

You can use cards for the trip but bring cash if you want to have the deck hand clean your fish. The only money the deck hands make is from cleaning customers fish.

do they sell beer on the boat or can bring some

j Reyes | Aug 25, 2019
LISA MYERS | Aug 25, 2019

First, i must say the experience of being on the boat whale watching was AWESOME.. No beer or food sold on the boat, i can only presume the reason would be if u get sea sick or have been close by someone who has then u will know the smell of vomit on it is intensified and disgusting for all passengers.
