Cape May whale watchers was an amazing family experience! We took our one year old son and had a great time! The boat went all around Cape May. We learned not only about marine life but some of the historic parts of Cape May! We saw tons of dolphins and had a blast! I would definitely go back year after year! The price is amazing for the experience you get! I would recommend this to anyone who loves history or marine life!

Bus trip for Dolphin watching. Bus tour group consisted of 42 people of various ages. Boarded the Cape May Whale Watcher at 10:00 AM on June 11, 2016. Watch lasted about 2 1/2 hours. Relaxing and informative leisure trip. Ship has free complimentary coffee and doughnuts, once ship is under way. Plenty of viewing areas to observe from. I had a seat on upper deck and in the back. Turns out this was an excellent choice of seating. We did not see any whales, but saw over 200 dolphins. The first sighting did not come until about an hour or so. After an hour the dolphins were all over the place. They are hard to spot and are not always in the same place once they submerge. They are fun to watch. We did see some dolphins closer to shore on the return trip. Would highly recommend this dolphin and whale watch.

This is a must see for anybody visiting Cape May. The boat is large, safe and modern. The captain was VERY informative as he took us in to the waters to see the dolphins. Although the "sunset" cruise only features a slice of pizza and a hot dog, it was still tasty. They have other snacks and beverages for purchase on board including alcohol. Be sure to bring a camera or two and be ready to snap!!!!!!!!
