I took my mother-in-law on the Cape May Whale Watcher excursion. The weather was nice that day, and that made all the difference. We saw a lot of dolphins, but unfortunately, no whales. They don't guarantee that you'll see whales though so I was not expecting to. The boat has bench and large table seating inside with a snack bar that has hot dogs, pizza, candy ice cream, and other snacks. Beer, wine, and mixed drinks are also available. You're welcome to bring your own food and beverages aboard. However, you're not allowed to bring your own alcoholic beverages or large coolers. The boat has wheelchair access. It was a wonderful day for us and something I would definitely recommend!

We've been on several trips with Cape May Whale Watcher and have always had a great day. The Captains, and crew, are very knowledgeable and helpful. Boats are spacious and well equipped. We've always seen dolphins, and we've seen humpback whales, as well. Seeing dolphins in the wild is pure magic, the only way to see them. Our Cape May Whale Watcher experiences have kept us going back, and will continue to keep us going back in the future. Looking forward to our first trip of the year!
