Ryan’s dad, also an seagoing man, has raised him on several boats ranging from 18 to 56 feet, and taken him on hundreds of fishing adventures. To him, the ocean offers endless excitement, solace, and possibilities for knowledge. Read more >>

Fast Boats
Passengers spend more time watching animals, and less time traveling on board Newport Coastal Adventure. Our 20 MPH cruise is twice as quick as the competition, allowing you to see more than you would on other tours.
Open Front
The BEST place for watching dolphin is at the front of the boat. Our craft uniquely allow passengers to safely lean just above the water to closely interact with dolphin. We provide the safest way to enjoy this truly magical experience!
Friendly Crew
Our congenial captains are eager to share their local knowledge, cultivated with years of experience spent plying these waters. We are a homegrown company owned and operated by Newport Beach natives eager to show you our backyard.
Never Crowded
A strict limit of 6 passengers at a time ensures all passengers are under the direct care of the captain, have adequate personal space, and a piece of the action.
What People Are Saying
"Absolutely awesome. Captain Ryan was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Boat was great. Love the smaller size and the ability to have a more custom/private experience. No fighting with gaggles of people to catch a glimpse of something in the distance. Saw tons of Common Dolphin and had a cool and unique encounter with a Minke whale. If I could rate this 6 stars I would."
"My family and I had a blast with Captain Taylor. I highly doubt we will ever go on another whale watch in a boat that isn’t a zodiac. We were able to zip from spot to spot, depending on where the action was located. We saw several whales, including two separate blue whales, as well as a huge sunfish. This is a must do if you are near Newport Beach!"
