When you go out in a boat on the ocean, isn't there a worry about whales and such?

Question

I just moved to the ocean and I don't understand it. There is this whole culture here... and people go out on these little fishing boats on the ocean, and sometimes the whales are in the bay! Help me understand this or do they know the whale's seasonal cycles and go at different times?

From the site above:

"Many people ask about the possibility of any danger while kayaking in the same waters whales are found. To our knowledge a killer whale has never bumped a kayak or shown any aggression toward one. All whales are acutely aware of their surroundings, especially what they might be rising toward the surface to meet. From our many years and hundreds of encounters, we feel very safe in the presence of these wondrous animals."

These guys don't look too nervous:
