Santa Cruz Whale Watching — Attraction in Live Oak

I had an amazing experience yesterday when I took my daughter, her friend, & her friend's son on a whale watching adventure. We decided to celebrate National Daughter's Day a day early because my daughter had to work today, & it turned out to be the perfect choice, I specifically chose Stagnaro Charters for this trip because I knew my daughter would love being on a boat & witnessing the breathtaking wildlife the ocean had to offer & because they had great reviews!!! And WOW, were we in for some treats (plural!!!) The day exceeded all our expectations in the most spectacular ways possible!!! What made the entire experience even more special was the fantastic staff at Stagnaro Charters. They were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always there to assist and teach us new things!!! Their fun-loving and entertaining personalities added a whole new level of excitement to the trip!!!

We were fortunate enough to see numerous whales and other sea creatures, which showcased the sheer beauty and thrill of our planet. It was awe-inspiring!!!

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the staff members who made this unforgettable adventure possible yesterday Sunday, Sept 24th, 2023. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to witness such natural glory and all the new knowledge we learned from that amazing trip!!! And since today is officially National Daughter's Day, Happy Daughter's Day to my wonderful, beautiful angel daughter Jenn, I love you so very much my dear!!! And Happy daughters Day to all the daughters on this glorious planet too!!!

Sincerely me: a loving father and grateful customer of...

These guys provided better service than I ever could have imagined. Saw awesome wildlife (dolphins, giant sunfish, otters, sea lions) and these guys were exceptionally easy to work with every step of the way. A member of our party got pregnant and couldn't come? They kindly credited her ticket back. The rest of our party had to reschedule our trip because of COVID travel restrictions? Done. They allowed it and offered to call my cell phone in June once we could return and they were doing trips again. We had car rental problems the day of and were on track to cut it very close? They gave us instructions on where to park in advance of arriving so we could make it on the boat most efficiently and make it in the nick of time.

Finally we had a gorgeous day on the water and got to see plenty of wildlife. The crew was likable and the naturalist did a great job walking around explaining what to look for and what we...

Absolutely the best outfit in the bay. Very knowledgeable and professional crew. We got lucky and saw around 20 Orca on our trip. Plus a couple humpback. Simply amazing. They really know their stuff. You can't beat the price for what you get either. Follow their instructions on arriving at the office on time and then get straight to the harbor and you won't have any trouble. It's a few hours of standing, so if you need to sit, arrive at the gate early and board first if you can. There's not enough room for everyone to sit if it's at full boat. Sitting is not the best way to see the whales, but it's not bad either. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, I'm sure that if you're unable to stand the whole time, you'd be accommodated. Overall, this is the best charter going and you can't be...
