“We saw tons of whales up close, explored Los Arcos, and stopped at two secluded beaches that felt like paradise.”
“Brandon and his crew took amazing care of our group on a 6 hour boat tour… the entire crew was very attentive, friendly.”
“It didn't feel like a typical tour, it felt made just for us… they made our celebration extra special.”
“Brandon, Milo and Ulysses gave us a day to remember! We were lucky enough to be on the boat during whale season and saw dozens of whales throughout the day.”
“The boat was nice and fit our entire party (15) comfortably. Brandon stopped so we could access the beach for a swim which was really fun.”
“We rented a boat from Brandon for multiple occasions — my birthday, my sister's birthday and some of my friends' — and it's always an amazing experience.”
Real guests, real days on the bay.
