Catch me outside charters

San Diego, United States
3 reviews
I've been a licensed captain for over 10 years, operating everything from whale watching excursions to private yacht charters. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology, with a focus on plankton and whale migration, and spent 12 years aboard a research vessel serving as both First Mate and Science Officer. Sharing the ocean with others is what I enjoy most. I specialize in wildlife tours featuring whales, dolphins, sea lions, and local marine life, while also offering scenic cruises that highlight the history and beauty of our coastline. I also volunteer as an instructor with the Boy Scouts and Sea Scouts, helping teach the next generation of mariners alongside my sons, who are active in the program. Whether you're looking for an educational wildlife adventure or a relaxing day on the water, I strive to make every trip safe, engaging, and memorable.

    Capt Liz is fantastic!

    2 hour– Wildlife & Historic tour - 6:00 PM • 2 adults

    Had the best boat cruise w Capt Liz. There are a gazillion sunset boat trips in SD but I specifically was looking for smaller boat, and private if possible. Then i saw Capt Liz profile as a marine biologist. Booked. My adult children still talking about it as we all got to nerd out on fun facts of marine wildlife and learned of Capt Liz experiences. 10/10, absolutely would recommend to anyone. Hope to visit again! Thank you Liz!
