Patriot Jet Boat Whale Watching
1h30
About this activity
The only Flagship offers the excitement of whale watching aboard our high-speed Patriot Jet boat. Are you ready for the thrill of a lifetime? There's nothing like the thrill of whale watching in San Diego. The weather is beautiful, the skyline unbelievably picturesque, and the marine life is abundant. And now, only with Flagship Cruises, you can experience whale watching in our high-speed jet boat, the Patriot. Zip across the water propelled by two 1,400 horsepower jet engines. You'll reach the whales faster than any ship in San Diego. And the open-air seating puts you closer to the water. Patriot whale watching excursions run from mid-December to mid-April, coinciding with the spectacular migration of 20,000 gray whales along the San Diego coast. Seeing whales is the main attraction--a truly life-changing experience--but the excitement of the tour doesn't end there. The waters are thriving with not only gray whales but humpback whales, fin whales, pacific white-sided dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and other surprises. Whale Watching Route Each whale watching excursion is slightly unique. We follow the whales' migration path to bring you up close for the best sighting spots, which change every day. In the beginning of the season, the southbound whales swim closer to the coast, so the maximum distance is about 3-5 miles. Toward the end of the season, when the northbound whales swim further out, we can cruise up to 9-12 miles off the coast.
