We were in San Diego on vacation and one thing my husband really wanted to do was go whale watching. We went with Next Level and enjoyed a beautiful day on the water, saw a whale and learned about the local sea life and the boat. We would highly recommend and would go again if we were back in the area.

The crew is great and we spent an amazing time with them. Also excellent with dogs! We saw dolphins but had no luck with the whales. But simply the ride on this beautiful boat was worth the money. I think it is outstanding that they offered another free tour to us since we did not see a whale. This was not their fault, but they still offered another ride. Exellent!

Love going out to see the whales, dolphins, seal lions, and sun fish on a sailing ship. The crew were very helpful and knowledgeable.

The captain and crew were fantastic. The boat is in great shape and very clean. We saw a few whales, and we all agreed we would definitely do it again.

Did not see any whales however the captain, crew, and ship were fantastic. Book this trip for whale watching and you won’t be disappointed! Very unique experience!

Such a relaxed, friendly vibe on a beautiful sailboat. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip and saw several gray whales, a gazillion playful dolphins, harbor seals and sea lions. Great bang for your buck!

The captain said it was a 7 out of 10 as far as waves go. So, take Dramamine because many people got sea sick. No whales were spotted, but still a beautiful trip. Crew was kind and helpful with giving blankets and explaining things. Seats are just the wood and a bit unconfortable for sure. Great views and dress warm!

It’s on a fantastic old sailing boat. We saw one Whale just at the edge of the bay but no others as the waters were too choppy. That didn’t detract from the trip though - an excellent way to spend 3 hours.

My wife, 9-year old and I had a great time on the America. The crew was very informative and helpful, aside from all of the cool info they provided about what we were seeing they did a great job taking care of anyone who was getting seasick. As a bonus, 3 dogs were aboard, which I know helped put my kid in a more relaxed state of mind :) Best of all, we saw a fin whale, it was brief but very exciting.

Great day on the water..weather gorgeous…captain was great…Salem was very attentive…saw two grey whales, many sea lions…recommend ordering the lunch option….thank you…

We had a blast! We saw a bunch of whales and other Pacific wildlife. The boat is immaculate. The crew is welcoming, enthusiastic, and super friendly. This was a good value.

What a great day! We saw a grey whale and other local ocean critters - seals & sea lions. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and masters of the sea. We boarded on time, learned about the area, the sailboat, habitat and local wildlife. Would definitely recommend a trip on the America.

I was most surprised to finally find a whale watching excursion that I could take my dog. Nashie and I had a great time and saw a huge pod of gray whales. The crew was great and since this was a sail boat, there was less noise so we were able to enjoy the tranquility of being on the ocean.

I surprised my wife with this trip for our anniversary and it was a blast! We got sandwiches for lunch and brought on a few drinks, but they also have some great itijoks for sale onboard. We saw some beautiful whales and dolphins and very much enjoyed the day on the water! The ship itself is beautiful and the crew is very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Great time! Captain and crew were very courteous and informative. We were lucky enough to see sea lions, dolphins and whales. Vessel and accommodations excellent.
