Experience the wildlife found in the offshore waters of Southern California on an All Day Photography Workshop aboard a top-of-the-line Zodiac! We'll have the entire day to search for unique photographic opportunities with whales, dolphins, sea lions, seals, seabirds, bald eagles and more!


You'll be hosted by experienced marine wildlife photographer, Delaney Trowbridge (@seataceans). Throughout the workshop, she'll be sharing her intimate knowledge of how best to prepare, react, and document the myriad of marine species you may encounter. Everything from the proper way to position yourself on a boat, to predicting animal behavior, and using the ideal camera settings for different scenarios will be explored during the workshop. Whether you are new to wildlife photography or a seasoned expert, this workshop aims to teach you something new. Photographers of all skill levels are welcome!


Prepare to be amazed by the experience of capturing eye-to-eye photos of whales and dolphins. The ultimate advantage of our vessels is the unique "water-level" vantage point provided by sitting mere inches above the water. Both the Shearwater and the Tern have been meticulously crafted to maximize speed and comfort without compromising safety. Our cruising speed of 30+ mph is the fastest on the water and in a single trip, it is possible for us to cover more than 100 miles of ocean. 


Midday, there will be a brief visit to Catalina Island to enjoy a lunch and restroom break. In addition to providing us with a midday break, Catalina Island also provides wonderful photographic opportunities. We will pause to document colonies of sea lions and seabirds located along the scenic, rocky coastline. We'll also be keeping an eye out for bald eagles perched along the cliffs and have even spotted bison and mule deer from the boat before.
