My Grammy and I's favorite annual activity is going on a Cape Ann Whale Watch once a summer. We've…read moregone on one almost every summer since I graduated high school eight years ago. The marine biologist on board is knowledgeable and clearly loves her job! It's awesome that the captain is part of the team searching for the whales and is more than willing to change course if we find out there are whales in a different area than planned. Also, the parking lot staff is surprisingly efficient given how many people are coming in and out with such limited space. We have seen multiple whales every trip, and sometimes other sea animals too! My grandmother is 92 (she acts more like she's 75 to be honest) and whenever we go, the staff and other patrons have always been courteous and kind to her without being infantilizing. I am so grateful to Cape Ann Whale Watch for being a part of this special tradition with my Grammy. Fingers crossed that next year we win the raffle for the free tickets! It hasn't happened yet lol.

Outstanding whale watch!…read more We saw numerous whales with several quite close to the boat, so close you could hear and feel the blowing. We also witnessed numerous tail breaches and fin slapping behaviors. I have been on numerous whale watches before, but never like this one!!! The ride out to the feeding areas was about 15 miles, relatively a short distance. The boat was clean and organized. The narrator was knowledgeable and quite informative. You could tell how focused she was on the subject of whales through her excitement. It was so special!

We took two sails across our extended family and everyone had a fantastic time from teens to toddlers and the adults too. They kept everyone safe while also allowing even the youngest "crew" to have turns sailing. They were happy to share info about sailing and Gloucester or just let everyone relax and chat on our own. Their 36' Catalina is a perfect cruising boat- lots of space to sit for up to 6 guests and a cabin with a "head" (restroom) just in case. We will definitely be back soon for more sails!

New Years Eve Cruise 2024…read more Nothing better than sailing into the new year on aboard the NYE Cruise on the Beauport Cruiseline. An absolute treat of a crowd, an extremely charismatic & charming MC/DJ with a hell of a singing voice that you just could not get enough of. This wonderful cruise also featured delectable hors d'oevres, a delightful Mac & Cheese Martini Bar, a feast of Chinese Food & of course a sparkling Champagne Toast to cheers the new year. My beloved and I had a wonderful time and will be looking forward to seeing what future events they organize in 2024. Thank you Beauport Cruiselines for a magical beginning to the new year.

If you're not prone to seasickness, this trip might be enjoyable. Unfortunately, my personal…read moreexperience was extremely disappointing, both physically and emotionally. Our group consisted of one adult and two children. About 40 minutes after leaving the dock, one adult and one child became severely seasick, even though all three of us had taken motion sickness medication before the trip. Both of them felt miserable and vomited multiple times during the excursion. The first time someone got sick, the crew member's immediate response was not concern or assistance, but to loudly tell us to "throw it into the water" instead of using a trash can. I understand that cleaning up vomit is unpleasant and that the crew wants to keep the boat clean, so I cooperated and went to the back of the boat whenever necessary. However, throughout the trip, the only thing the crew repeatedly said was, "Throw it into the water!" There was no sympathy, no reassurance, and no effort to check on how we were doing. What upset me even more was what happened when I needed to use the restroom. A crew member attempted to open the restroom door and told me to go outside if I needed to vomit. I clearly explained that I was using the restroom to pee and use the toilet, not because I was vomiting. Despite that, while I was inside, he repeatedly knocked on the door and yelled for me to go outside. At that point, I was already feeling extremely unwell and was also responsible for taking care of two young children. Not a single crew member offered assistance, checked on our condition, or showed any concern. Instead, they continued to focus solely on making sure nobody vomited anywhere except into the ocean. I don't blame the company for the fact that we got seasick. Seasickness is always a possibility when you're out on the water. What I do blame them for is the complete lack of empathy, professionalism, and customer care. It felt as though the crew cared far more about keeping the boat clean than about the well-being of their passengers. For first-time visitors and families with children, don't expect much guidance or support if you run into difficulties. Based on my experience, the overall fishing trip was extremely unpleasant, and I would not recommend it.

Lou and Larry were very well prepared for the trip, having caught a good deal of mackerel bait ahead of time and let us catch some too. Once we were out on the water, Lou and Larry worked hard to help us land a catch. They were well prepared with chum to help attract the striper to the boat and explained all the proper techniques. We ended up catching 4 striper over 30 inches and it was great fun. In addition, Lou and Larry were great to talk to and made sure to point out local landmarks and even took us in close to see the fisherman's monument before heading into the dock. You wont regret working with Lou and Larry.

I felt very safe on the boat with Captain Lou at the helm; being Gloucester natives they really knew the spots to hit to bring us home some big fish! Larry also skinned and cleaned the fish for us right on the boat, which was nice because that is certainly not something I could have done. They were both highly professional, yet relaxed and fun. I would highly recommend this charter.
