Where To Go Whale Watching In San Diego
Whale watching in San Diego is one of the most exciting and family-friendly activities, perfect for all ages. There’s nothing quite like sailing on a catamaran under the warm sun, gliding across the crystal-clear waters, and spotting incredible marine life in its natural habitat.
At Fun Cat Sailing, we offer premier whale watching tours that showcase the beauty of the San Diego Bay and its diverse aquatic wildlife. Specializing in private charters, our tours provide a personalized and intimate experience—ideal for family outings, celebrations with friends, or simply a chance to escape and admire the breathtaking ocean scenery.
While San Diego offers plenty of attractions on land, nothing compares to the open sea, the endless horizon, and the awe-inspiring moment when a majestic whale emerges before your eyes.

You’ll See All Kinds of Sea Life
There are tons of gray whales in San Diego. You might even catch a glimpse at a pod of bottlenose dolphins, pacific white sided dolphins, and common dolphins too!
Most whales, like the Gray whale, undertake a seasonal migration along the California coast to reach mating grounds near Mexico. During this time, some may even come close enough to shore to actually spot them from land. However, nothing beats the excitement of witnessing a mighty whale break the glassy ocean surface from the front row seats of our catamaran boats.
That sort of experience can’t be replicated, and since our captain has sailed these waters for 25 years, he’ll take you to the most well-known “hotspots”.
During the whale watching season, from mid-December to mid-April, many gray whales and dolphins are commonly encountered as well as sea lions and sea birds! This trip of observing and interacting with wildlife and whale watching is truly an experience of a lifetime!
Here’s What You Can Expect
Our charters come with complimentary drinks and snacks to help fuel you through this amazing cruise. In addition to the beautiful wildlife, guests will also be treated to unparalleled views of the cityscape, nearby attractions, and of course the warm Pacific waters. Our esteemed captain has 25 years of experience under his belt, and is Coast Guard licensed. With smaller groups you’ll get personalized attention and sea life education to round out the total experience.
Our public sails are open to everyone! With prices of only $85 per person, our catamarans accomodate people of all ages, whether your group is looking for great adventure or just some relaxation!
