Pelagic Trip out of Dana Point
Saturday, January 24,2026
6:30am-3:00pm
$120 per person
Trip Leader: Jon Dunn
Â
We will be using the RV Sea Explorer, a 70 ft. research vessel belonging to the Ocean Institute in Dana Point. It has two decks for viewing the birds, plenty of seating as well as deck space to move around on, a PA system for our trip leaders to use when pointing out the birds to us, and good restroom facilities (heads) on the lower deck.
The Ocean Institute is located at 24200 Dana Point Harbor Drive in Dana Point.
Trip destination is usually the Fourteen-Mile Bank and it takes us a while to get out there. Beginning in May of 2014, all of our pelagic trips – Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter – have been 9 hour trips to allow us more time to study the birds out at the 14-mile bank. (The half hour period before the boat leaves is spent checking in, meeting with the trip leaders who will have some “words of wisdom” to pass on to you, and boarding the boat well in advance of the departure time. The staff on board will also have information to impart.) Â
You will be asked to sign the Sea and Sage Trip Waiver before boarding the boat.
You will need to print out, read, and sign a trip waiver for the Ocean Institute and turn it in before boarding the boat. Ocean Institute waiver
