Whale Watching Trips to Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary. Guaranteed sightings!
Description
Guaranteed Sightings! 7 Seas Whale Watch is located in the heart of historic downtown Gloucester, MA and in one of the busiest parts of Gloucester harbor. As soon as you board the Privateer you will be surrounded by the sights and sounds of Gloucester’s working waterfront. You may see fishing boats unloading fish, lobster men baiting and setting their traps, and perhaps even some of our indigenous wildlife such as Harbor seals, Gray seals, and various species of birds. The tour begins with a harbor tour of Gloucester Harbor starting with Cape Pond Ice (which most of you have seen on Wicked Tuna and ends at the Dog Bar Breakwater. A typical trip is anywhere from 3-4 hours but may be extended if the whales move further out for feed. The Privateer IV was built for 300 passengers but we only book to 150 to ensure the comfort and safety of our passengers and is equipped with restrooms, and on-board food Galley and bar.

Fantastic time and well worth the money. Our day was sunny and bright but not too hot. Paid parking at the dock was $5 for the day. Lots of coffee choices close if you have the early booking. Boat was clean and roomy, bathroom on board, sells drinks and snacks but you can bring a small bag or small cooler if you need. Guides provided great chats and explanations. We saw loads of whales and the whales were as curious about us as we were about them. I look forward to doing this again but at a different time of year and hoping to maybe see different whales.
Amazing! Must try activity in the area! So worth to come and dont forget to explore the town. 7 seas whale watching is the best
A great experience! The check-in process was perfect, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and was easy to understand. AND, we saw 7 whales on our tour. Boat was clean and the tour ran smoothly. Highly recommend
Fantastic, not overcrowded, easy to find, parking adequate but a bit of a queque for machine may be good to download parking app. And we saw 2 adults females & 2 babies/ juveniles.
Great experience! It was my second time and just amazing! We saw several pairs of mother and baby whales.
You can bring in outside food and drinks. No alcohol Lots of fun I would do it again Saw lots of whales
A very nice trip. The guide was very helpful and the whales were following their script to a T. Eat, roll, blow, play, repeat.
We really enjoyed out whale watching trip. The boat was clean and comfortable and the crew was excellent.
Very informed staff. Very efficient process from purchase of tickets to boarding. Saw whales and dolphins. I highly recommend this cruise.
Perfect day, the guide was very knowledgeable and we saw a ton of whales. Awesome value at $178 for a full day for 4 people!
