5 Star cruise on Saturday September 2, 2023…read more Can not say enough about the professionalism and friendly crew on our adventures to find and hang out with whales. whales can be And swim anywhere, yet it wasn't 18 miles out that captain located our first whale. keen eyes and skill as we were the only whale watch that found her, so we got to spend sometime watching the magnificent creature swim and dive near us. All the while the captain made careful adjustments to the vessel to best views of her, as our naturalist identified the whale ( Clamp) and offered us insights into whale behaviors, naming and a sundry of whale facts, all while keeping us in the know of when the whales were surfacing and where to position ourselves for prime viewing. Thankfully this boat was not crammed packed like others I have noticed, allowing us the abilty and freedom to move about as the whales were on one side or the other. It says a lot when owners make sure we all have a good time over selling to max capacity. Even managed to get a perfectly cooked and satisfying breakfast sandwich! Galley staff was so professional . Btw Yum. This is my 3rd whale watch this season and I will be back as soon as my schedule allows. Thank you all for a perfect sea adventure. Highly Recomend

We recently spent an afternoon with the folks at Newburyport Whale Watch for a trip in the gulf of…read moreMaine searching for and watching some of the most amazing creatures in the ocean. The reservation process on line was straight forward and easy to use. The tickers were added to my iPhone wallet which would have been easy enough to board, but the staff had names available to check off which was even easier than fumbling with your phone or the internet access. For those who showed up on site to purchase tickets, those were available on site. Staff was young and friendly from greeting to service in the bar section with light food, snacks and beverages. The staff providing updates on the actual whales we did see was fascinating to hear. They were able to identify the two whales we did watch and made the experience all the better and personable. PSA - the staff works on tips similar to your waitstaff at a restaurant, so please be prepared to show your appreciation for their service, as warranted. While spotting whales is not guaranteed, we did see a couple of them, but not without a lot of travel. We were out almost a couple of hours to find them which also meant that after watching for about an hour, it was an equal trip back to the harbor. Keep that in mind. I am sure we all wish the trip was more like a 3 hour tour (with a happier ending than those on Gilligan's Island) but be prepared for spending 6 hours on the boat, especially if you are bringing young children who can become bored very easily especially in tight quarters. As a result, we returned to the dock at 6PM, 30 mins after the planned 5:30PM arrival while boarding the boat at 12:45PM for a scheduled 1:30PM departure. It should be noted that we did leave almost 20 mins late despite the booking warning that they will not wait for any passengers (but we did for 4 people...but I won't tell if you don't tell). The boat itself was clean and had plenty of seating inside and outside depending on your preference on the first two decks. They also have 2 bathrooms on the boat. I do not know why the top deck was not open as that would provide the best view of whales IMHO. Unfortunately, parking is a hassle in the area as most lots nearby only allow a 3 hour reservation via app or kiosk while you may be on the boat 6 hours. So, you run the risk of paying for 3 hours and then getting a ticket from the police which are located next door and cruise the lots steadily. Be warned.
