Wonderful Experience!!!

Excellent!! We had such a nice time. We did see whales!! We saw at least 4!! Sometimes it is hard to tell if you are seeing the same whale, but the captain knew the names of most of the whales. I 100% would recommend this to anybody!!
Absolutely incredible experience feeling close to nature. Fantastic charter book now and you won't be disappointed.

Came over from Scotland and did a bit of research before picking Cape Anne. This has been on my list for years and it did not disappoint. Surpassed all expectations and more. The captain the crew and the naturalist on board were absolutely fantastic. We saw 8 humpback whales on the last tour of the season. Would absolutely recommend it to everybody.
Great Experience!

Very nice trip. Not too long, comfortable seating available. Saw a bunch of dolphins and 3 humpback whales. Highly recommend!
Whale Soup

The best ever trip. The guide called it “whale soup”. We saw over 10 whales and dolphins. I guess sightings of dolphins only happens 5% of the time. We rocked alot, good waves. Loved it!
