Davey’s Locker Offers Daily Departures Year Round

Our ships such as the Newport Legacy & Ocean Explorer also have a snack bar offering snacks and non-alcoholic/alcoholic refreshments. Whale watching cruises will tour the pristine waters beyond Newport Bay and will offer amazing views of not just marine life, but the Southern California coast.

During the fall and summer our visitors will be able to see the amazing blue whale on full display. Weighing 170 tons, these gigantic blue whales are not only the largest mammals on earth, but some of the largest creatures to have ever existed on Earth! These majestic creatures are currently endangered, and Davey’s Locker’s whale watching cruise is one of the few places in the world you’ll be able to see these magnificent creatures.

Finback whales are also a common sight during these summer and fall months, as are pods of dolphins, numerous species of birds, and sea lions. These dolphins, birds, and sea lions are also a common and frequent sight during the winter and spring months, but the main attraction during these months is the annual gray whale migration to the lagoons of Mexico’s Baja California. Whichever season you come to visit us, we recommend you bring sunglasses, a jacket, sunscreen, and of course your camera. Temperatures can fluctuate quite a bit while out at sea, and the Southern California sun is a potent force to reckon with even in the winter.

Davey’s Locker has a long and rich history providing whale watching for all of Southern California for over 30 years. Families have made whale watching with Davey’s Locker quite a tradition. We hope you can become a part of our tradition, and feel free to bring your children and grandchildren along as well. It’s our greatest wish that someday their children and grandchildren will hop aboard our ships and see all of the amazing mammals and sites as we see them now .
