Great white sharks at Año Nuevo Island
Great white sharks at Año Nuevo Island
This tour is focused on seeing great white sharks on the surface at Año Nuevo Island, but we may see other wildlife such as dolphins, porpoises, whales, and more. We have an excellent chance to see great white sharks right at the surface!
We have a NOAA / National Marine Sanctuary Educational Permit to use a decoy at Año Nuevo island and South East Farallon Island, in the past this has been very successfull. Great white sharks can be found there during any given day during the adult fall /winter migration We expect to find adult great white sharks ranging from 12 to 19 feet in length, but we may encounter larger sharks too.
The best season is Oct – Feb, in between winter storms. Join us for an intimate encounter into the Red Triangle, fall and winter home of adult great white sharks!

Remember Before You Go
Because our boats travel at 20 plus miles per hour, there is a wind factor that can bring a chill. We have always said, “dress like you are going to the snow in layers.” Monterey weather can feel much cooler when on the water. We have spray-proof jackets for you to wear over your clothes if needed. Once on site, typically it is warmer and we are adjusting our clothing layers as needed
Please visit the bathroom before you get onto the boat. There are no bathrooms onboard, and the trip lasts three hours. Also, please remember to pay for parking.
