One of the First Gray Whales of the Season ‘Mugs’ Whale Watching Boat

Incredible underwater footage shows whale circling the boat

Passengers aboard our safari had the rare opportunity to get eye-to-eye with a friendly gray whale off the coast of Dana Point, California.

Migrating gray whales are typically seen off the coast of Southern California beginning in December. This curious animal, is one of the first whales to be encountered this season, is getting a head start! The gray whale was on its annual migration from the feeding grounds near Alaska to the mating and calving lagoons in Baja, Mexico.

“This is one of the best encounters we’ve ever had of a gray whale underwater from our Eye-to-Eye Underwater Viewing Pods. This was an extraordinary sighting,” says Captain Dave.

The gray whale circled Captain Dave’s catamaran sailboat, within arm’s reach of astonished passengers and crew. The boat remained in neutral whenever the whale chose to come close. This is called a mugging.
