The PREMIER Harbor Cruise on Newport Bay!

We poke our nose into the big blue Pacific Ocean, there always being Sea Lions at the Bell Buoy one mile offshore. We cruise along at all of ten miles per hour once outside, no speed limits here. Protected by the jetty, the big rock barrier quarried in Catalina for most of the one mile to the Bell Buoy and Sea Lions. We view the California Coastline, Catalina Island and The Wedge created by the backside of all that barged in rock. We arrive at the buoy and spend a few moments viewing the resident Sea Lion Colony. While there the captain swings the boat around to scan the horizon for passing whales. February being the best month to spot the migrating giants. Picking up speed as we cruise back to the jetty and back to the lake like water of upper Newport Bay. The captain picking up the narration at about the bait barge Salmon Quentin" as Captain "Parasail Mike" coined it. "Next on our right, the Newport Harbor Patrol boats and docks. Baywatch docks, Coast Guard Station, at the end of the row, Mothers Beach - safest beach in Orange County. Coming up on left, our Sea Lion Tour celebrity highlights  Shirley Temple, George Burns, Our little buddy's boat beached over there on Pirate's Cove.   A great snorkel spot on most days, with the right sunglasses, we can see the bright Garibaldi fish from the boat.
