Our reservation time got changed due to the location of the whales, but they informed us early enough to make reasonable accommodations and it worked out even better for us.

The food on board was surprisingly good as well, although if you want to save a couple bucks, you can always bring snacks with you.

I agree with the first Yelper as their tour guides speak to passengers as children back to the 4th or 5th grade once again. The staff on-board is courteous, without knowing the existence of Dramamine, I'm prone to motion sickness as the boat literally rocked violently numerous times with the engine cut off to intake sightings of whales nearly 50 miles from land. In the middle of the journey I felt vile, which my former love requested for assistance of a brown paper bag in return he got two asprins, a glass of Ginger Ale and four pieces of saltine crackers (all FREE)... now that is called excellent customer service. Amazingly there are still kind people in this world. I love Nabisco Saltine Crackers as it reminsce my sick days in my youth absent from school! Despite my motion sickness mishap, my former love and I were able to achieve our Pultizer Prize photo of a humpback whale's tale rising up in the Atlantic Ocean 50 miles off Provincetown, MA!

We did make one large catch of a striped Bass and several of the blue fish which gave us enough for several meals (6 of the 7 of us went fishing).

We went out there, saw a couple of whales, but to this moment I still wonder what type of whales did I see, where were we or what those whales were doing? Nobody was there to explain anything, just an overly excited mate, badmouthing the competition but not being able to tell us what was going on. I am disappointed, and never ever going aboard that vessel. I am sorry I couldn't go on the other whale watch boat, but we left for california the next day. This was a definite low point of my vacation on Cape Cod and wish it never happened.
