In San Diego, whale watching is a year-round activity! Our expert team at Next Level Sailing guarantees a premier experience, with such skilled guides that we achieved a 100 percent success rate in detecting the King of the Deep during the winter season.
Recognized as one of the top outdoor experiences in San Diego, the period for watching gray whales lasts from mid-December through April. Blue and fin whales appear from April to August as they come to feed. Humpback and minke whales can be spotted at any time of year, especially during the spring, summer, and fall months. From our 141-foot sailing yacht, the Yacht America, you’ll witness a multitude of whales in their natural environment. We frequently encounter dolphins, sea lions, a wealth of naval activity, and don’t be shocked to see an F-18 soaring above!
Pack along your own picnic, invite your friends and family, and spend an unforgettable day on the ocean waves!
