Regina helped us book and not be annoying clients by giving us hints on what to bring etc. she was so helpful! Captain George was AMAZING - funny, kind, engaging- we loved him. He found us a GIANT pod of dolphins and parked us so we could fully experience the wildlife as they did their thing. Dolphins were literally beside the boat, coming toward us, it was so exciting and surreal. We were so close we heard their dolphin sounds! When we come back to Cali this is the ONLY charter for us!!

Thank you QNIQ and Captain George for this great experience.. can't wait to come back again.

We've been taking Harbor Breeze Cruises for many years and have probably been on the Long Beach…read moreHarbor Tour more than a dozen times. Whenever we have family or friends visiting from out of state or overseas, it's one of our favorite activities because it's a relaxing way to see the Port of Long Beach, the Queen Mary, and, if you're lucky, the sea lions. We brought another group yesterday, and everyone enjoyed the tour. The only downside, in my opinion, is the boats used for the harbor tour. Yesterday we were on the Kristina, and in the past we've also been on the Caroline, which we chartered for my mother's ash-scattering ceremony about 14 years ago. Both vessels are showing their age. I also think the marketing could be clearer. The photos on the website and many travel sites prominently feature the newer catamarans, which gives the impression that those are the boats used for the harbor tour. I actually called ahead to ask and learned that the harbor tours use different vessels. While I appreciated getting the correct information, many first-time visitors probably wouldn't think to ask and may expect the newer boats shown in the advertising. The harbor tour itself is still worthwhile, and we'll likely continue bringing our guests because we genuinely enjoy the experience. I just hope Harbor Breeze considers updating or refurbishing the harbor tour vessels and making the marketing a little clearer so guests know exactly what to expect.

I took the 2 1/2 hour Whale Watching & Dolphin Tour. I've always wanted to see a whale…read more When you check in you get a paper ticket and they tell you which dock you go to then you line up. There was a lot of people in line. I was in the middle and thought I wouldn't get good seats, but I ended up sitting outside in the front. The boat is really nice and big. The front is the best place to sit with a good view of the whales and dolphins. The inside was packed and you don't really see a lot and sitting outside in the back you could smell the fumes from the engine. I did see dolphins and whales - the mom and the calf. They had a couple of experts talk about the whales and dolphins. We were past Newport Beach when we finally saw the whales. We spent a good amount of time seeing them. Then we went back. It's gets windy. It was a fun experience.

Captain Sebastian was super friendly and a fantastic communicator, making sure we had all the information we needed to make it to the launch ramp on time (directions, parking, etc.). We got lucky and caught a SpaceX launch from the boat, which was surreal to see. We opted for the V-day package which included flowers, chocolates, and balloons and really added to the ambience. Overall it was a magical night, and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique date night.

We booked with Cody for a Saturday in August months in advance, and the day before the booking,…read moreCody cancelled our reservation saying "the boat is broken" and "there is nothing we can do". He was not able to provide any alternative booking as it is a busy Saturday in the summer, and we had to scramble to try and make new plans the day before the planned trip. I would not recommend booking with Cody on any of his boats, unless you are okay with the likelihood of him cancelling the day before and then telling you to rebook with another boat if we still wanted to go, since all of his boats are booked. Terrible experience for the amount of money we paid.
