Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at Brandon@sdoceanadventures.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What kind of private charters do you do?

We offer dolphin and whale watching charters,Bay tours of San Diego Bay and Mission Bay,Sunset Cruises and a combination of all of them!

What do I wear?

Warm clothes! Even if it’s a warm and sunny summer day, the open ocean is always much cooler. Jackets are definitely recommended. Don’t forget any clothes and accessories that help protect you from the sun and wind. A rule of thumb if you can’t decide: it’s better to be over prepared than under.

Are sightings guaranteed?

We cannot guarantee whale and dolphin sightings however we have a high success rate of finding them.

Can we be picked up by boat from our hotel?

It depends on what hotel you are staying at but usually yes. If not a short walk away.

Will I get seasick?

Zodiac-style RIBs (rigid inflatable boats) have a very low center of gravity. For guests concerned about feeling seasick, this means the boat might feel more comfortable. So usually not.

What is the cancellation policy?

We have a 48 hour cancellation policy. If it is raining or the ocean conditions are deemed to be unsafe you will get an option to rebook or receive a full refund.

Is there a bathroom?

There is not a bathroom available on the boat however there are public and private bathrooms in the bays that we can stop at on the way back in.

What is the minimum and maximum age?

The minimum age for ocean excursions is two years of age and there is no maximum as long as there are no preexisting back or neck injuries.
