Delphinus explores the waters of Alaska and British Columbia during the summer, then comes to California for ocean whale watching and Bay and Delta cruising. A comfortable, 50-foot custom trawler, she has been refitted for educational cruises. Large windows provide panoramic viewing from inside the saloon and pilot house. Outside, the spacious main deck and flying bridge allow outstanding viewing and ease of movement.

Delphinus is certified by the U.S. Coast Guard to carry 32 passengers. On day trips we carry a maximum of 32 passengers. On overnight trips we carry a maximum of 8 passengers and 4 crew.

Speakers throughout the boat (inside & out) make it easy to speak to the entire group. Photo and video presentation equipment make her especially suitable for seminars and educational excursions.
