Welcome to East Meets West Whale Watching, where the thrill of exploration meets the serenity of nature in Newport Beach, CA. Founded by Captain Nick in 2016, our mission is to deliver an unrivaled whale and dolphin watching experience. Nestled in the heart of Newport Beach, we are fortunate to be in one of the world’s premier destinations for observing a bountiful variety of whales, dolphins, and marine life YEAR-ROUND.

At East Meets West, we invite you to share in our passion of the ocean. As pioneers in the industry, we take pride in being the newest, fastest, and safest small capacity whale watching vessel in Newport Beach, with all tours limited to just 6 persons. Captain Nick’s dedication to providing a superior experience led us to develop a vessel that goes beyond the ordinary. Private group tours are our specialty.

Our 2021 26’ commercial built fiberglass catamaran is equipped with super comfortable suspension seating, offering 360-degree viewing, ensuring you won’t miss a moment of the breathtaking marine spectacle. We take you further than others, allowing you to witness more whales and dolphins in their natural habitat. Imagine getting so close that you can almost pet the dolphins, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

To enhance your comfort, we’ve incorporated an exclusive SeaKeeper gyro vessel stabilizer, reducing side-to-side movement by up to 92%. This innovative technology nearly eliminates motion sickness, allowing you to focus on the beauty of the ocean without any distractions.

Embark on a journey with East Meets West Whale Watching and let us redefine your expectations of marine exploration. Join Captain Nick for an unforgettable experience where East truly meets West in the realm of awe-inspiring nature.
