The boat was small enough to be fast, exciting and close to the animals but large enough to be comfortable and feel safe. We also saw sea lions and heard about the area from our boat captain. I've been on several whale and dolphin boat rides/cruises and this was definitely one of the best. I only took video of the dolphins around the boat and unfortunately, Yelp won't let me post a video. But I added a couple of other pics.

Well, I do have to say, the marketing for this "excursion" is very well written. Too bad the actual…read moreevent wasn't nearly as exciting. Our loading time was 12:00, waiting for about 5 minutes to see if anybody else was going to join us. Captain Dave then took all boarding passes, payments, vouchers, etc. Also tried selling some Pirate gear for an additional $5.00 each - things that you can get at the Dollar Tree--all which took another 5 minutes or so. All the kids received pirate stickers though. While leaving, (12:10) the narration started - "see the seal", umm yeah-he's been swimming around for the last 30 minutes. Didn't narrate anything else, other than tell 3 pirate jokes and pointed out the fishermen on the rocks and what could possibly be caught. Rode up to the the break water, blew the horn to scare the birds so they could fly, the Captain says it's like being in the movie "The Birds". Turned around and floated by the kids beach, Coast Guard Station, the fueling dock, then he let the kids drive the boat for about 45 seconds each. Not really narrated much of anything - mainly because he was on the phone most of the time. We got back to the dock at 12:37. So--with leaving late and coming back early - I would say we were shorted 15 minutes. This company either needs another person go along on the rides or stay at dock to answer the phone and actually write down who and how many are coming for the next trip. Dave took about 6 business calls, pretending to write down the name and how many in the party; took 2 personal calls and made additional calls. Too busy to narrate anything that way. This 30 minute tour was nothing like what we were expecting. Captain Jack Sparrow would be embarrassed. AAARRRRRRRGH!

This was a great first boat ride for our baby boy. It's only 40 minutes so we didn't have to worry…read moreabout bringing anything or about the kiddo being on the boat longer than he would want. It was really laid back and chill; no scary pirates, only a funny one. While we were waiting to board, we saw fish, crab and a small octopus, about 15 inches long- so cool! The captain was really nice- even helped me on the boat with my baby. He told some really cute pirate jokes and pointed out birds and dolphins as we slowly cruised the harbor. Then he let the kids take turns at the wheel, letting them wear his pirate hat. Wasn't too cold, as the front windows are covered. Would do this again for sure!

I have gone out with friends and family for the whole day and have never needed to be rescued. Reasonable rates compared to other rental operations in the area.

The last few times that we have gone out, they have put us in their larger boat and allow us to take our dogs at no extra charge. I would recommend Hopper Boat Rentals to anyone looking to enjoy the beautiful channel Islands Harbour in a completely stress-free environment.

This is long due review. You should be WARNED that whatever is discussed with MICHELLE! If it's not…read morewritten even if she VERBALLY says it. She is not up to her word. she will change her mind Problem is that she is very moody and changes her mind instantly including the day of your event. Could even cancel your event! She doesn't care! Apparently has done that before! She also gets involved during your event as if she's the " event planner" when her outfit is not a fit or appropriate and should be dressed more properly! At least you're the owner and the least you can do is DRESS PROPERLY! Even if the space is nice, you don't want to deal with the headache and stress with this lady. Do yourself favor and find something else! RUN I was helping my friend find a venue for an engagement and unfortunately she stumbled upon this one because of the pictures! Again don't be fooled! IT WAS booked unfortunately Some things that were AGREED Upon before signing the contract were changed! Including the day of the event. It was agreed there florist can arrive early to set up. As I was helping the florist set up. Only certain number of people were allowed to get in! We were given at least one hour before contract was signed and she declined that the day of the event. so to save time, we needed more people to set up before guests were allowed to come inside. So she has her workers count and say only this amount of people are allowed and they were asking people That were setting up to leave ! EXCUSES ME! When are we gonna finish setting up if you didn't allow us the time there you had AGREED ON! That caused unnecessary confusion to the guests and stress for the bride and groom. It was also discussed that you are able to use the upstairs room for the prayer until the bottom one is ready as she had another event in the morning before our event and again we're not allowed to get in one hour before as she had agreed so had to rush and set up. Well! Guess what happened. When guests arrived. She only allowed certain number of people go inside when these people have driven for hours to respect the bride and groom. She left them outside until the main event started Downstairs. Why did it matter is my question! Why MICROMANAGING EVERYTHING. MICROMANAGING AT ITS FINEST! few days before the event, MORE surprises with additional charges that had never been clearly communicated beforehand. Even simple technical requests came with unexpected costs and restrictions, making coordination unnecessarily complicated. It was asked from a DJ to come as the sound system there wasn't going to be the best. When she was informed, she YELLED at the person over the phone and refused! The DJ apologized saying I'm sorry that you have to deal with this. He refunded saying good luck dealing with this human being! Communication with management ( MICHELLE) was inconsistent and at times unprofessional. After asking for an inappropriate offer from the bride, the tone noticeably shifted, and flexibility became minimal. This made the planning process more difficult than it needed to be. This is a business! I don't understand how It's run when the customer is always treated this horrible! How is she still in business! It surprises me! To add to the frustration, one of our event items was "discarded" the very next day without any notice or opportunity for pickup -- something that should not happen when dealing with personal property. We were told we threw it away! Ummm obviously it's ours and we're entitled to it and clearly brought it with us. So what I think is that she kept it to use for her future guests and overcharge because that's her motto! You paid for the food and any left over she kept and there was lots of it! Probably to treat her staff or for herself in the expense of other people. Unsure why! Even the cake! I'm so confused! If it wasn't tight with timing! We would have chosen another venue! NEVER AGAIN.
