This past week, six of us went on our third annual trip with Moment Sailing Adventures around the…read moreProvincetown harbor. Each time, the six hour trip is a different adventure, dependent on the wind and what we want to do that day. One year we just cruised up and down Herring Cove beach, taking the motorized jetty out so we could run some of the waves. One year we stayed in the Bay and looked at seals (as well as the normal Provincetown otters and bears). This past week, with limited wind, we just relaxed on the boat in the middle of the bay, jumping into the water when drinking white wine on-deck became too demanding. Six men (plus the captain, Chris) fit very comfortably on the deck, and Chris is beyond patient with our (still) pretty basic questions on the sailing life. He has great stories and is incredibly friendly. This is always a highlight of the week for us. With a stunning backdrop of Provincetown, an great captain, and a beautiful boat, there's nothing else like it.

He was informative, helpful and so very connected to the boat and the sea; we were so lucky to have him share our time on the Moment. We hope to be able to return and relive our journey again and again.

What fun!!! Ro gave my fiancé, Myself and our little dog the best sunset sail! We lucked out and it…read morewas just us. Ro takes up to six, but due to the clouds, no one else joined in on the sail and it was really cool to have a private tour out at sea. Ro and her mate Owen were so kind and gave us background on the area and then we had great conversation! Ro knew just where to take us to see a ton of seals too which was very cool, my fiancé had never seen them in the wild before and I personally have never seen that many up that close. It was absolutely awesome-the pictures didn't do it justice! Ro's dog, Spinnaker, joins as well and is so well behaved. My dog got along great with him too! I love that Ro includes your furry family member on her sail if you so choose. She has doggy life jackets of all sizes to keep them safe as well. If we're back in Provincetown I would 100% go again! Highly recommend!!

Our pup really enjoyed her first sailing experience aboard Moondance II, a 30 feet sailboat, with…read moreCaptain Ro, first mate Kaled, and mascot pup Spinnaker! We booked a Sunset Sail, which is a 1.5 hour trip around the bay, and we were glad to be joined by 2 other couples and 1 other pup! (If you're counting, that makes 8 humans and 3 dogs aboard!) You can also book a private trip, which is slightly more expensive of course. Captain Ro and Kaled were a great team and made us feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed. It was a beautiful day to sail (week before Labor Day weekend) and Captain Ro allowed us to climb onto the deck once we killed the engine and were out in the bay. These trips do not guarantee animal sightings but we did see a whole group of seals bobbing their heads out of the water watching us as we sailed on by, which was extremely endearing to see. FYI the crew provides life vests for the pups and you can bring whatever you want to eat/drink aboard to enjoy.

Magical evening with Captain Bob and crew aboard the BLII. Probably our 10th trip over the years…read more First trip without a full sunset and it was still a remarkable experience. The ocean was the roughest we had during all of our visits. Exhilarating! It's bring your own everything! People literally packed entire picnics. The trip takes a tad under 2 hours. Obviously, be smart and look at the weather before booking. Also, bring a jacket (even in July) and wear comfortable shoes (definitely no heels). We saw a whale and seals on our trip last night! Take the family and enjoy the stunning scenery. Do some homework on the area so you can identify the key landmarks as you venture out of ptown harbor. It's a sailboat trip...outside of the rules/regulations you're not getting any info on what you're seeing. Huge opportunity for the business. Some things to consider as you venture out.... The Pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact in Ptown harbor (you could be passing the very spot as they landed here FIRST). Longpoint (tip of cape with lighthouse) was a village in the early-mid 19th century, with homes, a school, church and many businesses. Cue up the Jaws movie soundtrack...the great whites are booming! Yes, because of the exploding seal population, great white sharks have returned to the water around ptown. Many are tagged and have even ventured into the harbor! Overall it's always a magical experience. Thank you Captain Bob and crew!

The company has been doing this for 50 year so the crew is actually super familiar with all of the different whales and can identify them by name! We didn't see a "full breach" where they jump out of the water, but we saw tons of surfacing to air, some hand stands and whale tails. Super cool! The ship itself was very clean and there was lots of space to move around and see the whales. We sat on the second deck and could go to side to side to see them. The captain does a good job or rotating the boat so everyone can see. The crew was so friendly and did a great job of informing everyone about the whales! Highly recommend this!!

Once we got out aways we saw a few whales. Then further out there was about 10 whales feeding and it was amazing to watch. I don't think this always happens on tours. The lady guiding the tour was super knowledgeable. The ride back to the dock was about and hour or so. They do sell snacks and drinks aboard.

To anyone saying "the boats are crappy" or "boo hoo, they were rude to me". You are the type of…read morepeople turning P town from a once raw, rebellious, unpredictable, and ruggedly cool destination into a generic, gentrified, homogenized, safe, and dare I say: lame ass tourist town. JSYK, I have no affiliation with Flyers but I do have a true affinity for this once bohemian paradise. Where tough fishermen mingled freely with artists and writers. Where young hippies hung out with drag queens. Where thrifty tourists came to buy cheesey t shirts and giggle with innocent curiosity at the boys holding hands. Sure, you can still find some of these things in town: if you squint your eyes just a little and know where to look. But sadly, the P in P town now stands less for poets, painting, Portuguese, or penis and more for PARODY. As in: a parody of itself and what it once was. Places like Flyer's are what keeps what's left of that fantastic funk that this place was once so famous for, ALIVE! So toughen up! Release your inner pirate! Make sure your tetanus shot is up to date! And support a business like Flyer's! So what if they're a little grumpy. Try dealing with annoying tourists who are looking for a Disneyland experience and asking the same lame questions...ALL...DAY...LONG! You'd be grumpy too. And don't complain about the price! You just paid $30.00 just to leave your car in one spot. Boats are expensive to buy and even more expensive to maintain! That's why you don't have one and you're renting one. Finally: Seeing P town from the water is the best way to almost step back in time and experience it as it once was. Think about it. It truly is. Flyers rocks! Flyers rules! End of story!

We had an absolutely amazing day out on the water with Dolphin Fleet Whale Watch in Provincetown…read more Our tour guide, Sophie, made the entire experience unforgettable. She was incredibly knowledgeable, full of energy, and genuinely passionate about whales and nature. You could tell this is more than just a job for her. She even had a whale tattoo on her leg, which made her love for these incredible animals even more authentic. We learned so much from her, and it was refreshing to have a guide so excited to share her knowledge. She kept pointing out the whales as they surfaced, and her timing was perfect, just when you thought the action had moved on, she would spot another humpback breaching or lifting its tail before diving back down. If you can, try to get on one of Sophie's tours. I've been on whale watching tours before, but I have never seen anything like this. Our four kids were beyond excited as we saw what felt like 40 to 60 humpback whales. The boat ride itself was fantastic, with the salty spray in the air and everyone crowding the rails every time a whale came up close. It was one of the most incredible wildlife experiences we have ever had. At first, I thought the tour was a little pricey, but as my son said, "Dad, this was worth every dollar. You should have paid more." He was right. We happily tipped Sophie and the crew on our way out because they absolutely earned it. If you are visiting Provincetown, do not miss this experience. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and I would recommend it to anyone.
