Both of our boats are US Coast Guard Certified
Not all whale watch boats are US Coast Guard certified
The Sea Lion whale watch boat is US Coast Guard certified for 49 passengers.
We hold the count to 40 to insure lots of space at the rails and in the cabin.
Sea Lion was built in 2007 specifically for wildlife viewing off the San Juan Islands. She is the newest large vessel in the San Juan Islands. We maintain her inside and out to keep her looking and running jjust like new.
She has a large walk around deck, outside covered seating, inside cabin seating with big windows, bow seating and open seating on the stern.
There is a large bathroom and tables in the cabin. We also keep a children's library and a wildlife library on board as well as high grade binoculars for our guests.
