Whale Watch & Tour Boats
Our whale-watch boats run daily ocean cruises — gray and blue whales in season, plus dolphins and sea lions year-round along the South Bay coast. Every vessel is U.S. Coast Guard inspected and run by crews who know these waters.
El Rey
A roomy whale-watch and ocean cruiser built for comfort on the water — seasonal gray and blue whale watching, dolphin cruises, and private group charters along the Redondo Beach coast.

Vámonos
Our rigid-inflatable whale-watch boat — fast, open, and built to get small groups up close to the whales, dolphins, and sea lions just off the pier.

These boats are also available for private charters and group outings along the Southern California coast.
Redondo Special 65′ × 18′
A safe, roomy platform with plenty of rail space and a smooth ride — the heart of our fleet and a local favorite for whale watching cruises.

Navegante 65′ × 20′
Our larger cruiser, built for longer runs offshore when the whales and dolphins are running wide. The boat to be on when the wildlife moves out.
Pescador 50′ × 17′
A comfortable, nimble vessel with an uncanny ability to find wildlife — a great ride for open cruises and a favorite of our regulars.
Betty-G 35′
Navigating the Southern California coast for over 50 years. Available for private charters — whale watching, parties, corporate events, cruises, and burials at sea. Make the day your own.
