Why
Moss landing
matters?
More time with whales
Our boats from Moss Landing spend 90% of the tour in prime whale feeding areas because we leave right where the canyon starts.
Everyone gets a view
With 6 passengers, you're never fighting for a spot. Move around, find the best angle, shoot freely.
Agility matters
Our 27ft boat can follow pods, adjust position for photos, and navigate shallow feeding areas safely.
