Our Team
Meet our team of amazing, knowledgeable Captains that make it all possible at Adventure Whale Watching!
Our Captains
At the heart of every unforgettable tour is one of our incredible captains. With years of experience navigating San Diego’s waters, our captains are not only skilled boaters, but passionate wildlife enthusiasts. They know how to find the whales, how to read the ocean, and love sharing their knowledge with guests. Safety-focused, approachable, and full of fun facts – our captains make every trip an adventure to remember.

Captain Rick
“Captain Rick was so cool! He was so knowledgeable and told me stuff I didn’t know (even though I’d read a lot beforehand). He was so adept at navigating and go us through multiple pods of dolphins and identified a humpback at a distance super quickly and got us so close to see the beautiful whale breach multiple times.”

Captain Kyle
“Captain Kyle’s excitement was contagious- it had us all smiling, and the kids were buzzing with energy and fun whale facts for the rest of the trip! In fact, the “when do we get to go back” question was asked repeatedly on the ride back to shore! Book with Adventure Whale Watching for a truly memorable experience!”

Captain Sam
“We had a great time searching for whales and dolphins. Captain Sam knew what he was doing and we appreciated his knowledge.”

Captain Bree
“Captain Bree communicated with us about the weather updates and often said “woo” when we were going to hit some air. She shared a great “sailing” soundtrack which made the journey out and back enjoyable.”
