Of coarse the one day I leave my camera at home
On the 5 pm Sea lion tour just as we left the jetty's we ran into this huge pod of Dolphins. There must have been 300 of them all around the boat. We turned the engines off and just sat for a good 20 mins they where everywhere. Even some real young ones not bigger than 2.5 feet what a great day! Real or Photoshop? whale smashes sail boat (link)
Thank you Megan! - We took your hint and added a schedule to our pages - I have sent a coupon code for four tickets via email - Mahalo!
We are posting photos as they come in ... new photos of the belle and Show Boat have been added to our rent a boat page, as well as some really neat sunset tour photographs - a warm thank you to all that are taking them and sending them up
Thanks to all that came by last Friday evening for the Sunset Tour. Due to the great response we decided "to let it ride" at least through the season - with a nudge from Jessica J - thanks!

Welcome!
We are going to be offering many specials this summer. Some one has to prime the pump. If you are on our mailing lists - expect some special "customer appreciation" offers in your in box's in the next few weeks.
In the mean time - It is warming up and we could all use some fun.... How about a Friday night Sunset Cruise Deal?
I deckhanded the boat for Capt. Dave T... in "our" day, he perfected the tour.
A natural teacher and a heck of a Waterman in my book, if you have taken an OCC sailing course you know Dave too.
It is about that time in the season to bring the cruise back online - the crew ready to go. ...... and lets do it for ten dollars own food and soft drinks welcome, Fridays to start - its been a long winter for everyone.

Follow the extension cord from our office to the announcers booth for the play by play. This year as in years past Capt. Mike Whitehead will be sharing his vast knowledge and details about the boats as they go by or.... Better yet hop on one of tours and get right in the thick of things. A warm thermos of holiday "shoreboat coffee" a blanket and a spot on outdoor bow - right hand side Some great previous years boat photos from the Chamber - links above. While at the parade stop by our docks and have a peek at our Tikiboat, a new look and make over this fall. Trey has gone back to our 1970 disco ball inspired TikiBoat theme roots. She has never looked better, new exterior look, all new window glass, great new carved Tiki's great new fun. Our two new fiberglass harbor cruise boats have arrived. The "Belle of Balboa" and "Showboat" replacing the retired namesakes. "Belle" and "Showboat" designed from the hull up as tour boats. A borrowed north sea hull design offering superior ride quality and stability in the lake like water of the bay and handy for visiting the Sea Lions on a blustery January afternoon. Speaking of January afternoons, keep a camera ready and a good eye out for whales on the Sea Lion Tour More photos soon, The new boats are in service and we will be using them on the Parade of Lights public trips and charters this season
