    Me and my mom came on a trip to San Diego, when I learned it was blue whale season when we would be there I knew we had to go! We are VERY prone to seasickness, so of course I did extensive research on which type of boat we should go with, what company etc. we came across Offshore and it was the right choice!! Neither me nor my mom got seasick at all, we were on a small RIB, but honestly so much better than the bigger boats due to them because of the speed of the boat, the intimate style tour (only 6 people), and how much closer you could get to the animals. Unfortunately, we weren't able to see any blue whales but we did see a mom and baby gray whale which was super rare for this time of year. The company has good status with other tour boats so they radio each other when they see something which is awesome. We also ended up seeing about a thousand dolphins and they were swimming right under our boat! Our captain Brian was awesome, always checking on us to make sure we weren't nauseous or scared. Overall, super awesome experience! THANKS BRIAN!!!

    Awesome and intimate experience. The captains are so fun and professional . We saw so many blue whales we couldn't decide which to look at up close and personal .

    We had a blast on our whale watching tour. Captain Morgan was awesome and was determined to find us some whales even if it meant staying out a little longer. Didn't realize it was such a small boat because we booked last minute and didn't even think to ask but it was great to have a small group of 6. I feel like we got to see so much more than we would have on one of the big whale watching boats and it was much more personal. The life vests were great too. Not super bulky like some of them I've had to wear. My favorite was getting up close to the dolphins. Such a sight to see! Loved every minute.

    What a lovely adventure with the family. Having the experience on the calm water and having the boat to our self with captain Peter was fantastic. Almost right away he spotted gray whales that we followed for an hour. Later we stumbled upon a pod of curious dolphins and some sea lions. Peter is responsive to our needs and what we would like to see. Highly recommend.

    Fun, personalized experience. We were greeted by the Captain and escorted to the vessel. Before we boarded the RHIB, we had a quick safety briefing and we're given our life jackets. For adults, they have the auto-inflating style, so they aren't bulky. We headed out of Mission Bay and went north up the coast. Our Captain worked hard to find a large pod of dolphins, and we spent a while observing them. This was a peak human experience. Watching the dolphins from a small RHIB was an awesome experience in every sense of the word. We've been on whale/dolphin watching tours on larger vessels, and this beat that experience hands-down.

    Liz took my coworkers and I on a last-minute trip to see sea lions, humpback whales, and thousands of dolphins. We were in a tiny boat that allowed us to move quickly and get very close to the animals. Liz was a wonderful captain and we highly recommend this trip.

    We booked Hot Tub Cruisin as a Bachelorette activity this past weekend and had a great time! There…read morewere 12 of us on the boat, and it didn't feel overcrowded--everyone had a spot to relax and enjoy. When we first arrived, most of us needed to use the restroom (since there isn't one on the boat), and the girl working at check-in seemed a bit annoyed by that. However, once we got on the boat, she was totally fine and helpful. A few things to note: someone in your group does have to drive the boat, so plan ahead for that. You can bring your own 21+ drinks as long as they're not in glass containers, and you'll need to bring your own ice. Once you're out on the water, it's pretty lively with lots of other boats and people. We played our own music and just hung out--it was a really fun, chill experience. The two hours definitely go by fast, so keep an eye on the time. They're strict about going over, even by a minute, so we set a timer and started heading back 30 minutes before our end time. Overall, a fun and unique experience we'd recommend!

The boat was clean, comfortable, and perfectly warm even with the breeze on the water. It's not every day you get to combine luxury, adventure, and pure relaxation all in one, but, what truly made the day unforgettable was the amazing service. Huge shout-out to Kyle - he was fantastic! Super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we were having a memorable experience for my friends bachelorette party. Do not be discouraged by the other ratings on this site, I highly, highly recommend and think this is the perfect addition to any plan in San Diego. It will create a lifetime memory. Plus you get to see Sea Lions on your way out!

There isn't even a proper building--just a sandwich board where you stand around waiting for someone to show up. No one seemed to know what was going on. We asked a couple of nearby businesses for help, and they clearly were not fans of this company or the constant questions about it. We still ended up having a nice day on the water, but for the price, these boats should be much better maintained. The cup holders were filthy, the floor was filthy, the seats were filthy, and the inside walls looked like something had been splattered all over them. It was really unfortunate.

The guys at the dock also make everything so fun--with jokes and just being warm and making the kids feel welcome. He taught my daughter how to tie a half-hitch and let her tie the boat up at the end and was so sweet and patient. (bring cash for a little tip if you want!) The boats themselves are so fun and so easy to drive. Mission Bay (technically sail bay) is super calm and easy to navigate. We did 90mins today but we wish we had done 3hrs. If the weather is nice it goes by really fast. Highly recommend the Duffy experience and SDEBR! Just go! Have fun! And if you're worried about operating the boat, it's super simple. So don't be intimidated. Even if you don't have a lot of experience on the water.
