Default Question: Right of way

Folks,

I would like to ask for some opinions on this scenarios (happened to me
a while a go).

I am driving along with my pleasure craft on my side of a fairly narrow
channel.

A whale watcbing boat comes with high speed on his side of the channel

so far so good

But then, he cuts across the channel with pretty quick speed and goes
on a collision course with my craft. He did this so his passengers
could have a look at some bald eagles.

I steered out of his way as common sense commands.
But I wonder was that legal of him ? I know pleasure craft have to
yield to commercial crafts. so I have to yield but doesnt the means he
is on HIS side?

Would like to know whats the law in this case

Thanks,

Matt

P.S.
Please refrain from comments like " If you dont know you shouldnt be on
the water" and such
