We traveled up from Montana and went whale watchhing yesterday and out fishing this morining. Had descent wheather for whale watching and seen many whale tales and spouts and also a few rising up out of the water, one even jumping completley out of the water. Wheather for todays fishing was not good, but they gave it a try anyway... More

What a wonderful experience! They called us the day before the trip was scheduled to warn us the weather wasn't looking great. We still ended up going out because it wasn't too bad. A bit rocky, but nothing unsafe by any means--we weren't even getting bounced around. Unfortunately we missed an exit on the freeway and ended up being a... More

We went out on a little fishing boat ($20 a person - you get what you pay for) The company was very friendly & helpful, the Captain was VERY funny, we had no Ocean/boating experience and we were made to feel right at home. We even saw a whale even though it was January !! More

My 11-year-old son and I had a good time. The fishing was not great on this day, but we still had a very good time. Captain Dan and crew gave us a great service. We would definitely use them again. More

Although we didn't see a whale, not the greatest time of year to spot one (August) Captain Gary showed us a marvelous time. Lots of seals and beautiful sites. We took the Zodiac with another couple and our two children. My daughter was a little nervous at first but Captain Gary got her laughing and she felt totally at ease.... More

He was very accommadating and allowed our daughter to move around the boat freely to get a good view. This was... More

We live on the Oregon Coast. We fish every year for our favorite, Ling Cod. We have used the other charter service in town but definitely prefer Dockside. Like all fishing trips go, you have to know where the fish are. Our skipper choice is always "Lars", on the boat "Sampson". He is a very nice guy, tries hard to... More

I'm guessing the poor reviews were posted by an unscrupulous competitor considering that they have reviewed no other businesses[suspicious]. I have been on MANY trips with Dockside starting when I was a little kid in the 80's. Every one has been highlighted by remarkable service, great fishing, and plenty of gray wales! The owners really care about offering a great... More

First time in Depoe Bay on the family vacation, looked up the info for a whale watching trip on the spur of the moment (1230 hrs), visited with the very friendly lady at the counter who reserved a trip for us at 1330 hrs that afternoon. Turns out, our group of (8) and only two others would be on the... More
