We been on these before but all 9 in our group said this was the best one ever. Over 50 dolphins cool breezes, and great views of Cape May. The captain covered so much about dolphins, how the sleep, breed, live and why the best place to see them is in the ocean. Then he shared about some of the history of Cape May. The 2 hour morning cruise was a great deal

I would sit on the beach for years and say I would not go on a dolphin watch boat well in the pass three years has that changed. Last night started with beautiful weather clean boat and excellent and very knowledgeable commentary throughout the trip and free pizza or hot dogs. And now the star of the show the Dolphins saw about fifty in different areas of the ocean we just drifted when the Stewart's found the pods the squeals from the audience brought a big smile to my face I get to sit on the beach and watch the Dolphins all the time but there is something to say about being up close if only the dolphins would stay still long enough for a picture. And finally our cruise ended with a beautiful sunset what more can you ask for . Thanks to the Stewart family for a great night

This was our first time on the Cape May Whale Watcher. Do not worry about being sea sick. I was because we had never been on a boat like this one before, but it was no problem. No one was sea sick and the boat did not rock. The cruise was great. We did the dolphin cruise and we saw tons of dolphins. It was also great to go all the way around the island of Cape May. You definitely got a different vantage point viewing Cape May from the ocean. This was a family trip for us with a 9 year old and 13 year old and everyone had a great time. It was fun for all to spot the dolphins!
