Great day on the ocean!

Our Experience with Cape Ann Whale Watching was an excellent time! The captain and the naturalist were both extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly where the whales would be! The number of whales we saw was beyond my expectations.

What a day!

It’s FANTASTIC! A full boat got to watch 20-30 whales in different activities. The highlight was about 7 whales feeding, taking big, giant gulps of fish together. The naturalist was speechless! This was my second excursion in two weeks! Fascinating!

This is a can't lose trip

Absolutely phenomenal, we have been whale watching for years. This was our 1st time in the Boston area, and 6th time looking around the USA. We've been to N.C. , Florida. California, Washington and This was the best trip ever. We finally saw a whale tail multiple times and extremely up close. The ride was very smooth and the guides were very informative.

Feeding Frenzy

This was an amazing once in a lifetime experience we won’t forget! The crew members and staff were friendly and well informed. We saw between 19-22 whales feeding, adults and calves and it was so breathtaking! So glad we didn’t sit this one out.
