We had a perfect day with Captain Taylor and Dale. Encountered two different groups of dolphins; Bottlenose and Whiteside. Bonus we spent extra time with two very large California Gray whales about 40-45feet long. Incredible day.

Research exactly the months the whales will be migrating up and then back down to improve your chances of see a whale. We've been several times no whales.
