Mystic Sea Charters

Went on a 3 hour tour, a 3 hour tour…, but did not get shipwrecked ;)
4/​1716, This day was pure awesome! The boat might of been a little crowded but I didn’t care. The scenic majesty of Puget Sound on a clear sunny day with the white snowy cap of Mt Hood in the distance and sight of Grey Whales spouting water and showing their flukes above water before they dive. I cannot recommend this enough!

Great boating trip! Found an excellent deal on Groupon and thoughly enjoyed our trip out. Saw many whales while still respecting their distance even with a full boat. We never felt crowded or unable to get the photos we desired because the staff was so great at directing the boat to either side.

I could not have asked for a more perfect day. It was my and my girlfriend’s first ever whale watching trip and we were beyond impressed. We paid for a gray whale tour, and in the first half hour of our trip, the boat captain announced that there were a pod of orcas in the area that we were going to try to find. In my opinion, this went above and beyond what they needed to do. Orca tours are later in the season and have a slightly higher cost and they could have chosen to just find the gray whales and not let us know about the orcas, but they chose to share both with us. Both the orcas and gray whales were magnificent and the crew on the boat were informative and eager to show us as many creatures as they could. It was a wonderful day on a lovely small boat with a kind and informative crew. I would recommend them to anyone.

I almost don’t want to write a review so it stays our little secret, but we had a fabulous day on the gray whale watching cruise! The weather was amazing, and we saw plenty of active whales and sea lions. Crew was excellent. The boat was very nice and never felt crowded. We will be back this summer to see the orcas!

Couldn’t have been better!
Even if we saw nothing at all, the crew was fantastic and passionate about teaching us anything they could! We ended up seeing amazing orcas, dolphins, so many species to mention. I appreciated that they were very respective of the pods’ boundaries. A fisherman drove past up and Captain Jack was furious and reported him for breaching the boundaries.
As an added plus, it was my dads 85 birthday and the next day was my folks 65 anniversary. They were treated like royalty and we had such a special time that won’t be forgotten.
The inside of the ship is all windows and heated, with hot food and drinks. So you can stay warm and not miss anything!

We took the Mystic Sea Charters on Saturday October 6^th 2012. The crew was SUPER friendly and helpful. They really get excited about the wildlife and are very knowledgable about the area and the wildlife. We did see whales as guaranteed and they stayed with them for a long time so that we could capture a ton of pictures… which we did, unfortunately our camera’s were taken by the rental car company (Payless) because we failed to collect them from the car after turning them in and they magically disappeared, but the memories of this day will always live in our hearts… Just wished we had the pictures to refresh our memories as we are getting old. LOL But seriously this was the highlight of our vacation and thank you to all the staff and volunteers for making a great trip complete for us!!!
