Itinerary

This is a private 3-hour whale watching experience on Monterey Bay aboard ENOCEAN's premium 6-passenger vessel, departing from Moss Landing, CA. When you book, the entire boat is yours. No strangers, no crowding, no sharing the rail with another group. Bring up to six people and the vessel is reserved exclusively for you, whether that's family, friends, or a small private celebration. It's your captain, your boat, and your day on the water. Designed for small groups, this trip offers a more intimate, comfortable, and immersive way to experience marine wildlife. With the boat to yourselves, every guest has space to move freely, enjoy unobstructed views, and fully take in the experience at your own pace. Our boat is fast and capable, allowing us to explore more efficiently while maximizing time with wildlife, all within responsible marine life viewing guidelines. This is perfect for wildlife photographers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone who'd rather skip the crowded tourist boat.
