This is your opportunity to ride Boston's only 3-hour Whale Watch!

Whales cruise off the New England coast from April to November, gathering at the major feeding grounds of Massachusetts' coast. These huge mammals reach more than 65 feet in length. Even a fleeting glimpse is a thrilling and very memorable experience. Among the species that can be seen are finback, humpback, minke and right whales. These Northern hemisphere humpbacks reach an average weight of about 37 tons and are among the most endangered. It is estimated that only eight percent of their original population remains.

The high-speed catamarans used for this tour are the fastest, most comfortable way to view the ocean's most fascinating and magnificent creatures. Getting you to and from the whales in less time means you get to spend more time actually watching them. The awe-inspiring sight of these majestic, giant creatures breaching and spouting nearby is more than exciting. The World Wildlife Fund named Massachusetts as one of the world's top ten whale-watching spots.

The Humpback Whale's name comes from the way its back arches out of the water when preparing for a deep dive. "Megaptera" is its true scientific name, which means "large-winged," in reference to its long flippers.

Finback Whales are second only to Blue Whales in overall size, measuring in at 45-70 feet in length and weighing approximately 40 tons as full-grown adults.

Minke Whales are a sleek, small dolphin like baleen whale. They are the most abundant whale in the world today with a population numbering well over one million worldwide.

On this tour you may also see White Sided Dolphins, which are found only in the North Atlantic, in waters just south of New England north to Norway. These playful mammals feed on single prey such as squid, unlike whales that feast on large numbers of small fish.

The catamarans feature 3 outside decks for optimum viewing capability. Inside you'll find climate-controlled cabin space with cushioned seating, tables, state-of-the-art sound and video systems, and a galley offering snacks and beverages for purchase.

Professional researchers from the Whale Center of New England, the region's foremost authority on whale populations, are onboard for every trip to provide narration. Want to feel what it's like to join them? Then this is the tour for you!
