Dana Point

The way it was
meant to be.

Experience whale watching in Dana Point the way it was meant to be — private, unhurried, and deeply connected to the ocean. Step aboard Blackwing, a stunning 2023 Grand Soleil 44 performance yacht, where the journey itself becomes part of the magic.

Designed in Italy and built for both speed and elegance, this is not a crowded tour boat — it’s a refined, intimate escape onto the open Pacific. As you leave the harbor behind, the coastline opens into a breathtaking expanse of deep blue water, golden cliffs, and endless sky.

Dana Point is one of the best whale-watching destinations in the world, and here you encounter it entirely on your own terms. Watch for majestic gray whales on migration, massive blue whales in summer, and the unforgettable sight of a breach breaking the surface just yards away.

Pods of dolphins often race alongside the yacht, riding the bow wake in playful bursts of energy, while curious sea lions surface nearby — adding to the sense that you are a guest in their world, not the other way around.

What truly sets this experience apart is the privacy and connection. With only your invited guests on board, every moment feels personal — a quiet conversation over a glass of wine, a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounter, or simply the raw beauty of the Pacific without distraction.
