The jet skis are new, the instructors are friendly and thorough and they even found my daughter's iphone after she dropped it in the water. It was a miracle!

Including 3 bald eagles Get the Groupon if possible. My 15 year old said it was decently fun- which is a win in teenage language. My 11 year old thought it was awesome. My 13 year old did get sea sick and my 9year old niece loved every min of it. The only thing that was a tad tacky was the captain asking for tips at the end for about 10 mins. If gratuity is expected, it should just be added to the cost. I'm glad that I had cash to tip.

That was pretty much nonexistant. Three hours was a bit long. We would have been better off with a two hour trip. The staff was nice and there were plenty of interesting facts. I liked that they had food and the prices weren't insane. Take advantage of the Groupon!

He is also the only person in the marine industry that will not rip you off. His prices are always competitive and work is top notch. The facilities are always clean and the staff are always helpful. The fuel prices are the cheapest around and the bait/ice is affordable and excellent quality. As a slip holder the best feature of this facility is the fact that you can order your bait and ice directly from them, this helps get you out fishing quicker. Just watch the tides. Low tide can be tricky getting in and out but it's cape may what do you expect.

Again, the price is reasonable, if you're buying your tickets online, make sure you know which location you'll be departing from. Lastly, the trip, like the ferry and the tide, waits for no man.

We didn't see any whales on this trip but saw plenty of dolphins. We took our toddler on his first boat ride and he enjoyed it. Appreciated the pastries, juice and coffee. One staff member mentioned to us when we would need to have our toddler kneel or how to hold him as the boat entered rougher seas. I really appreciated how kind he was. Staff genuinely care about the animals in the ocean and were careful when steering around dolphin pods. Would absolutely do this again and encourage others to visit and purchase with Whale Watcher as well.

The training i received from Capt Rick and Capt John was first rate. Reservations are simple to make and boats have been mostly available even on weekends, with only 1 or 2 days notice. I just retired and live year around in Cape May Point. I plan to use the club's other locations in NJ, NY, DE, MD, and DC when we travel. The one improvement i would like would be to add jetskis and sailboats just to add more variety to my boating options.
