At this time of the year the Whales Tail is conducting winter maintenance, we have found this to be the best time of the year for this work to be competed due to the unstable weather conditions. We are currently installing a new engine, updating our safety equipment and working on a new web site for the coming season. We will be available for trips March through October. If you have any questions you can e-mail at whalestail115@yahoo.com, we look forward to seeing you in the future.
Experience the excitement of seeing gray whales “up close and personal” and other wildlife on one of our whale watching trips aboard the Whales Tail.

This is a thrilling and exciting ride for people who enjoy being out on the ocean or first timers who just want to experience being out on the ocean and have an enjoyable ride, additionally our whale watching trips are fun and informative.
The Whales Tail is a 26' zodiac style boat that carries up to 6 people. It was the first and original zodiac style whale watching boat on the Oregon Coast, designed specifically for Dockside Charters to give passengers the utmost in sightseeing and whale watching experiences. We have all the latest safety features and have been inspected.
One of the features the Whales Tail offers is a unique vantage point that gives you 360° viewing for observing Oregon's resident gray whales as they feed along the coast of Depoe Bay. Don't be surprised if you notice the whales watching you as intently as you watch them. We try to provide you with a once in a lifetime experience that is not to be missed along with some great memories.
Dockside Charters is located on the east side of the Bay in the center of the harbor next to the Coast Guard Station.
