Amazing and everything I hoped it would be! Staff was knowledgeable and so kind. My daughters starting feeling a little sick so they gave them a little toy souvenir, some ginger ale, and checked on them frequently. We got to see 2 whales and a ton of dolphins. Such an amazing experience. Thank you!

The BEST whale watching EVER - we watched whales for at least an hour straight, there were so many you couldn't turn fast enough to see them all! One went right under the front of the boat!! They are so close you can see details on their faces, it is amazing!! The staff is amazing, they explain the moves the whales are making, they tell us all the interesting info about whales, they know their names, the staff come around individually to see if we have any questions, they are just very knowledgeable and very helpful and friendly!! The boat is very comfortable & clean, and this company does all they can for the safety of their customers! When we got back to land, we went into the little gift shop they have & when we came out every staff person on that boat was washing/ sanitizing the entire thing, it was very reassuring to see that! If you go to the MA coast, you have to go on this whale watch, it was the best thing we did here!!

The crew was amazing! Many people were sick due to the rough waters, but everyone was cared for like family. The knowledge shared by Amanda was amazing as well. This was my first time on a whale watch, and I will definitely go again.

My partner surprised me with tickets for whale watching this summer, something I've ALWAYS wanted to do. The experience was remarkable. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but part of me knew that we're dealing with nature, which can obviously be very unpredictable. We saw at least 20 whales, both adults and juveniles alike. It was quite emotional, such a huge and magnificent animal, in it's natural habitat, just being. Very curious about us, but naturally also cautious. They didn't hesitate to put on a show! The younger ones always bobbing their heads out of the water to peek at us and the boat and the adults diving down and coming back up. Absolutely amazing. The staff was friendly and highly knowledgeable about the area and the whales, as they've come to know them individually. They were very respectful of the whales. The ship was operating at reduced capacity due to COVID-19 and everyone was required to wear a mask at all times. There was enough space for everyone to sit with reasonable space between parties. The ship had a snack stand and a bar (added cost) and a restroom. Definitely an experience I would recommend!

It was a grey and rainy day, however... we had an awesome 3 hour trip ( last one of the season!!!)with up close and personal looks at humpbacks and some quick looks at the notoriously boat shy porpoises. Super cool crew, great naturalist, great captain. This boat is one the nicest passenger/tour boats I have been on and is kept in very clean shape and seems to be very well maintained. I'm looking forward to returning next year FOR SURE!!
