What is the Fishing + Whale Watching Combo?
The Combo is a single 3-hour private charter that splits your time between coastal fishing and whale/dolphin watching. It's the most popular trip for groups that can't decide between activities — or families with mixed interests (one person wants to fish, another wants to see whales, the kids just want to be on the boat).
Captain Will starts wherever conditions favor that day. If wildlife is active offshore, we go watch first, then drop lines. If the bite is hot in the morning, we fish first, then chase whales. The split is roughly half-and-half, but Captain Will adjusts based on what's working.
