This was a very pleasant cruise on a comfortable ship with good facilities and services. They had free coffee and donuts and other items for purchase. We had a great trip and saw plenty of dolphins. The captain really made sure we could spot them and spent time in the area where they were. The commentary was informative and the whole experience was enjoyable, I would say for all ages. Everyone was pleasant and made us feel very welcomed. This should be a must do in Cape May. The Marina is easy to find,close by with lots of parking , a gift shop on premise and a nice restaurant across the street at the Marina.

The dolphins were easy to find as they stay in the same general area. A whale is much harder as they travel much more. Still, the extremely informative captain knew where to go. A passenger sighted the whale. The captain stayed with the whale long past time to return. Even though we were 1/2 hour late, no one minded. This was our first time whale watching. Now I know why people go. This will not be the last time, either. The only complaint was the pizza was not very warm, but the beer was cold.

I highly recommend the Cape May Whale Watcher. Be sure to book the one in the Miss Chris Marina because there is another attraction with a similar name and not as good. The Cape May Whale Watcher cruise is on a very clean and comfortable ship, staffed with a knowledgable and friendly crew. We saw many dolphins during the entire trip and heard a lot of interesting stories about Cape May and local marine life. A highlight was that the ship's Captain expertly positioned the ship to maximize dolphin viewing once a group was spotted. We were able to take great pictures throughout the trip. The price is fair and the new gift shop you can visit on the Marina after the cruise is modern and stocked with souvenirs at all price points. Children can leave with affordable treasures and there is a huge variety of high quality t-shirts and sweatshirts to remember the experience. Finally, there is free parking just across the street in a protected lot. Make sure you add the Miss Chris Marina dolphin watch to your vacation plans in Cape May.
