Fisherman's Wharf is seeing the biggest impact. Central Coast News talked with all four whale watching companies out there. They all said they've seen business double and on the weekend sometimes tripled their regular totals. We're talking about raking in tens of thousands of extra dollars, "It's been nothing short of spectacular," said Benji Shake. People are scrambling to check out the rare sight blue whales in Monterey Bay .

Benji Shake owns Princess Monterey Whale Watching Company. He said the company is so busy right now there's a waiting list for weekends and most people are making reservations days in advance, "People are coming from all over the country. Even the locals are coming and that might as well be like coming from another country because the locals never come!" said Shake.

It's no wonder why a lot of you can't get enough of the whales.
