They also give you a little Bluetooth speaker for music. If you have kids they give you life jackets. The boat itself I believe fits 7-8 people. They also encourage you to bring food and just relax. The area isn't to big so I didn't think we'd use the whole 1 hour. We actually did because my boys enjoyed it so much. We all really loved that we got to see the sea otters and seals a little closer than usual. The scenery is beautiful as well. Not to many people in the mornings and the sun is as out in full affect. A great time was had. Anyone wanting to try but nervous the boat might be hard to drive it wasn't. The guy helping us compared it to driving a golf cart. Very easy to drive and the ride was smooth. Highly suggest them if you're in the area.

The gondola was nicely furnished with pillows to make us comfy and it was a truly romantic experience.

We will be back and recommend for sure!

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.

Mark is full of interesting ocean and history facts and you and your family will not only have an incredible experience but you'll learn something to take with you the rest of your life.

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

First wonderful day. We caught our limit of Rock Fish and had fun doing it. They gave all on the boat lessons, were very attentive and made sure if we needed help we got it. They hovered the boat over large schools of fish and all 25 on board caught and were exhausted at the end of the day. John in the office allows me to freeze our catch and pick up the next day in one of his freezers. That made it for me too as we have no freezer in our hotel in Cambria. Best California fishing experience ever. We highly recommend using this them for a great experience and attention to detail.

The passengers around us were not happy with how the boat was being run. We all decided this would be our last trip this boat.
