Captain Chris is gone now, but his vision of offering the best fishing off the California coast lives on.  Chris' Whale Watching Trips is the oldest, continuously family-owned whale watching on the California coast.   Captain Chris was a pioneer in marine tours and worked with the Audubon Society to research marine activities.
