Jeff is supremely knowledgable and allowed us to participate in the sailing experience at key moments, while allowing us to relax and enjoy the open ocean. We were lucky to time our trip with the Tall Ships Festival and we got the experience of a lifetime when Capt. Jeff sailed us out among those historic vessels as they participated in a mock-cannon battle. Truly amazing and the perfect finale to an incredible day. Highly recommended, already looking forward to our next trip with Dana Point Charters...

From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The boat was exactly as expected! Super clean and well-maintained. The staff was friendly and made sure everything was seamless so we could just relax and enjoy the day. They even helped me with instructions on where to park (which was just a few steps from the rental). When o got out the car, they helped me carry all the decor to the boat. They had the fridge stocked with water which was a nice perk. It ended up being the highlight of the entire day. Highly recommend Harbor Rentals if you're planning a fun group outing or special occasion on the water!

When he was asked to lower the price in order to get the boat sold, he wanted to raise the price. The offer expired a couple of weeks ago, without Mr. West even contacting us to let us know. My assistant, called today to let Mr. West know that we would not be re-listing with him; Mr. West responded "GOOD, NOW I CAN GET THIS F****** THING OUT OF MY FACE." If this is the way that Mr. West likes to talk to women, and feels that he can address them that way, I will never do business with him or ever recommend people like him.

This will stop number three and my thought is even if we never see a whale. It's always a pleasant way to spend a few hours out on the water.. Everyone on the boat was super professional and informative. We really appreciate Laura spitting facts at us and making sure we knew what was going on. At one point, I was standing in front of the boat and I was about to go sit back down, but Laura told me to stay because she knew we would see something soon and we saw a Fin whale, which we stopped for a while to watch come up and down and no matter what it's always magical. We ran into a bunch of dolphins and watching them chop and play as always fulfilling. There's no way you can go wrong with this excursion, especially with a discount. They seem to always be offering. They also give all the birthday people a drink cozy. Highly recommend a great way to spend a few hours..
