We took a 3 hour tour on a Saturday in April. The weather was beautiful and the water was flat, even in the ocean. We saw both dolphins and whales. It's amazing to see them so close. The boat is clean and the staff is friendly. They allow you to bring food on board if you dont want the pizza they sell. They rent binoculars if you dont bring your own. You can tell this company has been in businesses for awhile. We arrived 25 minutes before departure. Parking was free. They have several clean restrooms on board. We saw several people get sick even though the seas were calm. Be prepared if you get sea sick. We enjoyed the trip and would recommend it to others. If you sit in the front, you may get wet!

I have been planning this trip for a year. Last November, I contacted Capt Jeff and asked if it was too late for the trip. He said, that late in the year they play it by ear, depending on the weather. Since I wanted to take a group I decided to wait for this fall. I investigate all of my trips before I go, and in doing so for this, I found that Cape May Whale Watcher had the best reviews. We were not disappointed. The ship was immaculate, including the bathrooms, the crew could not have been nicer, and to purchase food and drinks onboard were not outragestly priced. We were out for 3 & 1/2 hours, spotting both dolphins and whales. The weather was great and we could not have had a better time. Plenty of parking and I would suggest for children over 10. (if theres no sightings it could be a boring trip for the kids) The sightings were great, but for us, a great day on the water with food and drink..

My husband and I were down on a short weekend for our anniversary and decided to give it a try. We went out on their smaller boat. There were about 40-50 people. It was a very choppy day. The ship was comfortable and had rest room facilities as well as a snack bar. The crew was very nice and the Captain was great. Unfortunately, try as he might, the Captain wasn't able to find anything but a few dolphins. To our surprise, he came on the speaker and let us know we would all be receiving free passes that did not expire (ever!) to come again. It's a hit or miss thing and I guess we just missed it. No fault to the Cape May Whale Watcher and we will look forward to another cruise.
