Amazing Whale & Dolphin Watching Boat Cruise Off The Malibu Coast
Posted by Dave Ogle on May 3, 2014 in Malibu Coastal Adventures | 0 comments It was a warm and clear spring morning in LA when we took out two wonderful ladies for some whale and dolphin watching on a Malibu Coastal Adventure. We left Marina Del Rey Harbor at 9 am and had an incredibly smooth boat ride up the coast to Malibu. The ocean was mirror calm with no swell and the air temp was in the upper 70s We encountered a couple of Grey Whales not 15 minutes out of the harbor. After playing with them for about 20 minutes, we continued up the coast to Malibu. Along the way we encountered mulitple pods of dolphin. The dolphin came together to feed on the abundant baitfish schooling in the warm shallow Santa Monica Bay. They put on a spectacular show as they played with us for another 1/2 hour. At times, they came close enough to the boat that you could have touched their dorsal fin as they surfaced for air. We arrived at Point Dume Malibu and were greeted by large groups of sea lions sleeping in the sun under the iconic headlands. On the way home, we stopped at the Malibu Pier to watch the surfers, and Capt Dave caught a couple of fish for them to take home for dinner. The return trip along the Malibu Coast to Santa Monica was a relaxing experience. Come out and enjoy what we have to offer !...read more
