The person I talked to at Epic was very polite and most importantly helpful. He took the time explaining the different kinds of trips offered and the pricing breakdown for 3/4 day versus a full day. I was really glad they offered full service for lunch and beer since it meant I didn't have to do any work or shopping myself!! He and his friends went on a full day trip and fished Catalina Island. He said it was one of the best days he ever had other than being with me haha~ The boat looked brand new and fishing captain Jazz and the other captain Tim did all the baiting, hooks and gear so all they had to do was reel them in. They caught plenty of fish and my husband said they fileted all of them and ziplocked them for him and his friends. Very professional operation and we'll definitely be using Epic Charters again!!!

The company where we had planned to go was gone for the day, and we wanted to find another way to tour the bay without treking back to our cars and driving to another Duffy Boat business. I contacted Tim, who was working in his office. He was welcoming and friendly. He listened to my problem and offered to take our group on a tour of the bay in his boat. His girlfriend responded to the boat and they gave us a great price. They offered to take us out longer than we had planned so that we could see whales and dolphins; however, one of the girls started getting sea sick so we made it back to dock after a fulfilling trip. Tim and his girlfriend catered to our sick teen as if she was their own. They played music, provided drinks, told us interesting facts about the area and made it a great afternoon. I can't say enough good things about them. Everyone whom went, to include the woozy teen, said that it was a great activity. Thank you Epic Yacht Charters!

Went on a 2 hour tour with Captain Erica and Molly, down in Newport Beach. They were absolutely the best. Captain Erica was knowledgeable and friendly that we were able to enjoy the whole ride. We saw a momma grey whale and baby and hundreds and hundreds of bottle nose dolphins. As Captain Erica said, we must have had lucky people on board to experience both on the same tour. Molly got some awesome and amazing shots that she was able to share with us. We thoroughly enjoyed the surfing dolphins that were created by the wake from our boat. The conditions were perfect, and the experience was worth every penny. We're already planning our next tour for the upcoming season and can't wait to book an Oxnard adventure with them. Hopefully we can get this dynamic duo again. Can't speak highly of Captain Erica and Molly. Total worth it. See you guys soon.

This was by far the worst whale watching tour I've ever taken. I've done whale watching multiple…read moretimes before -- in Boston and other locations -- and every other tour actually went out into deeper waters where whales are usually found. This tour, however, barely left the coastline. If whales could be seen that close to shore, I could have just stood on the beach and saved my money. The trip was advertised as 2 to 2.5 hours, but it only lasted about 1.5 hours. Most of that time was spent heading back toward the harbor, and then we sat near the harbor entrance for around 20 minutes just watching sea lions. I honestly don't understand why anyone should pay $50 per person just to look at something you can easily see from the shore. It felt misleading and disappointing. The boat never seriously attempted to go offshore, where whales are actually located. What made this even more frustrating was that I specifically asked the staff before booking whether we were likely to see whales, and they assured me we would. Do not waste your money on this tour.

The team definitely made up for the initial mistake, and I walked away more impressed than I would've been if everything had gone perfectly. If you're thinking about booking with them -- do it. And if you get lucky enough to work with Cassandra, you're in amazing hands!
