THE BOATS

We are proud to have a fleet composed of the fastest whale watching boats in California! On an ocean going Adventure, the speed of your boat is directly related to success rate of finding whales and dolphins. Newport Coastal Adventure has the ability to cover twice as much ocean on our trips because we are traveling at 20 to 30 miles per hour, which is two to three times faster than other whale watching providers.


There are three reasons why we utilize the Rigid Hull, Inflatable Sided (RHIB) type boat for our adventure:


Another thing we want you to know about our boats: they are never 100% full. We limit capacities to ensure everyone has enough elbow room.
