About Sail San Diego Whale Trips
Every December 15 through April 1, San Diego plays host for over 25,000 Grey Whales on their incredible 10,000 mile journey to the South Artic Sea to the beautiful Baja California Seacoast. Every year like clockwork, these spectacular mammals arrive to the warm waters of Southern Baja where the females give birth to their young and return to the Artic waters.

Whale Watching with Eco-Friendly Sail San Diego is incredible experience, where the groups are small, and our experienced Captains/Trained Naturalists are the best in the business!! This is a great trip and experience for all ages!
We are very conscious of our environment and carefully follow the rules of whale watching, very closely. We have a huge respect for these magnificent mammals and the journey they are on!
We run environmentally responsible trips, striving to be as low impact as possible, something we feel is so important.
Because we run small groups on our beautiful 40’ Catalina a, you and your guests and family can have an intimate time on the water and have all your questions about the grey whale and the whale migration answered by our knowledgeable Trained Naturalists, who have a wealth of information and love to share all they know with our guests.
Our Captains are right there to help you experience nature at its best. No listening to a script from a microphone, the Captains who are in arms reach look for Whales, Dolphins, Porpoise, Sea Lions and Pelagic Sea Birds.
Captains will tell you about the plant-life and actually do a hands-on demo for kids and show them all the signs to look out for while looking for whales or dolphins. Not only is this trip informative- it is FUN!
Last year there were very few trips where no whales were spotted but we always guarantee sea lions! We will work with you on a second trip if no whales are spotted- most of the time this is not the case!
Our trips are on a beautiful 40’ sail boat or 46’sailboat. All the trips offer complimentary beverages which include beer/wine, non-alcoholic beverages and nice hot-chocolate for those chilly days! Snacks are also provided for guest to enjoy while underway.
To ensure the comfort of each guest we also provide extra jackets, blankets, foul-weather gear, hats, gloves, sunscreens, for those who forget – sunglasses. All of this is there for our guests to enjoy and we encourage everyone to be as comfortable as possible. Enjoy the whale watching literature on the boats, sit back, relax and enjoy the most memorable time on the water possible.
Whale watching with Sail San Diego is something you don’t want to miss!!
