Capt. Nick was awesome! We got to see a whale and too many dolphin 🐬 to count! I would rather do this personalized excursion than a bigger boat with too many people. Highly recommended!Full review by Cristian Vazquez

A:
Monterey tends to have rougher sea conditions than we do here in Southern California. Contrary to popular thought, it’s more likely to get sea sick on the larger boats because they do not respond quickly - they roll and pitch slowly which causes motion sickness.
