Here are some of the many comments we've received from our passengers who travelled with us on our Offshore Birding Trips.
"Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had on the Sept pelagic trip. The crew was great as well as the leaders. The two young cooks really made the meals a delight. We picked up 11 lifers which was 2 more than we had hoped for. We are recommending your trip to all our birding friends. Great job, keep up the good work. THANKS."

"Want to thank you for all the effort putting this trip together and for all your work on the trip. We had a terrific time and were very impressed with how hard everyone worked to take care of us and get the birds to the boat / boat to the birds! Wishing you continued good luck with these great trips."

"The pelagic trip you folks organized Sept. 8-12 (2004) was truly a wonderful experience. A veteran of over 100 pelagic trips, I would rate this in the top five I have ever taken. Great birds (although I didn't get a new North American species with a life list over 800) & mammals, great leadership, marvellous food & a very friendly and accomodating crew. It was also the keenest, least seasick & most co-operative group of participants I have ever shared a boat with. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who would contemplate taking it in the future. WELL DONE!"

"The Searcher's crew was competent, responsive and fun. The accommodations and facilities first rate. The food was good, the beer was cold, the coffee, hot (and Starbuck's quality).
I recommend The Searcher's pelagic trip to anyone looking for a fun and productive pelagic trip in spring or fall trips are planned for April and September of each year.
A hearty thank you to Don DesJardin without whose vision and effort these trips would never have happened, and to Art Taylor and Celia Condit, owners of The Searcher, for making it all possible. "Terry Hunefeld

"My thanks to the crew of Searcher. They worked their tails off keeping us fed and finding us birds! Words can't begin to express my gratitude. You have a fine vessel and a great crew. I hope I can sail with you again!"

p.s. The food was fantastic!
"Great trip! Cleanliness and service were most impressive. Quality of meals was exceptional and quantities awesome. Will recommend Searcher and its crew to one and all."
"You all did a fabulous job! The leaders were there 110% from morning to night looking for birds, and so did the crew. Very personable and willing to always go the extra mile. Worth every penny. Thank you!"
"What a wonderful trip!! Kudos for everyone!! The leaders always had the binoculars glued to their faces. The crew was fun and most accommodating."
