Celebrate World Ocean Day with a Trip to Sea!

Noyo Pelagics on the Kraken


We have the Kraken booked for a half-day trip on Monday, June 8, departing at 7:30 AM and returning around 12:30. Tickets are $125 per person and available at https://noyopelagics.com/

Marine forecast looks GREAT, so it should be good viewing for marine mammals as well as birds. Last Saturday we spotted several Humpback Whales, and a few Pacific White-sided Dolphins cruised by, but we couldn't go fast enough to hold their attention. (At "Dolphin Speed" of 10+ knots they will often ride the bow wave and play with the boat.) The birding was fantastic, and we can hope to encounter a B***y (two species have been seen here recently) or Storm-petrels, among others.

This trip will be a collaboration with the Noyo Center for Marine Science and Mendocino Coast Audubon Society, so we will be interested in just about everything we encounter out there. Calm spells in spring can be really fun with a lot of action on the water. We have had plenty of wind recently, driving upwelling and marine productivity is high here. That is attracting a lot of marine life: everything from plankton to whales. Don't miss this opportunity - we don't get many calm spells at this time of year!

The Gray whales may be getting harder to find but you never know what you will see on our trips. Yesterday we came across a pod of 15 orcas named K pod. It was a great show and beautiful day on the ocean!

After a delay to the season opener due to elevated levels of domoic acid, the recreational Dungeness crab fishery opened today in Del Norte and Mendocino counties and part of Humboldt County, though trap restrictions remain in place due to elevated entanglement risk.

11/06/2025

We were lucky enough to come across an active pod of Orcas recently while out fishing on the Kraken. Fishing has been great and we’ve been seeing humpback whales on most of our trips as well. We will be fishing until the end of the year and plan on running crab as soon as it opens for our area. 707-964-4550
