THE CAPTAIN & THE VESSEL

Captain Christian Pebbles is a seasoned mariner holding a Merchant Mariners Credential from the U.S. Coast Guard National Maritime Center. Raised on California’s rugged North Coast, Christian grew up fishing, diving, and exploring the ocean, developing a deep connection with the sea.

He believes the ocean has the power to calm the mind, body, and spirit, and his mission is simple: to share the wonders of ocean life with every guest. Since 2008, Captain Christian has been expertly navigating the waters of Bodega Bay, combining years of experience with a true passion for the sea.

The Fillet and Release is an offshore 27-foot Boston Whaler, fully US Coast Guard inspected for your safety. It’s the only full walk-around vessel among Bodega Bay’s six-passenger whale-watching boats—meaning you can move freely and get up close at the bow, for an unmatched visual and auditory experience.

With its wide, stable beam, this legendary “unsinkable” Boston Whaler makes it easy to enjoy whales, dolphins, sea lions, harbor seals, and an incredible array of seabirds, all while taking in the stunning Marin and Sonoma coastline. Adventure, comfort, and unforgettable wildlife encounters—all in one boat.

Bodega Bay offers exceptional whale watching throughout the year, with different species visiting our coastal waters each season. Every trip provides a unique opportunity to experience the incredible marine wildlife of Northern California.From January through May, migrating gray whales can be seen traveling along the Sonoma Coast. Beginning in May and continuing through December, humpback whales arrive to feed in the nutrient-rich waters offshore, often delighting guests with spectacular breaches, tail slaps, and close encounters. Between April and October, visitors may also have the rare opportunity to see blue whales—the largest animals on Earth. Orcas (killer whales) can be seen any time of year, although sightings are unpredictable. We generally see them most often in late spring and early summer.Whales can be seen in Bodega Bay waters year-round, including occasional sightings of minke whales. In addition to whales, guests frequently encounter dolphins, porpoises, sea lions, harbor seals, and a wide variety of seabirds.Whether you're visiting in winter, spring, summer, or fall, every trip offers the chance to witness unforgettable wildlife and breathtaking coastal scenery.Join us aboard Bodega Bay Whale Charters and discover why Bodega Bay is one of California’s premier destinations for year-round whale watching.
