This year we took the 6:30 sunset dolphin watching cruise and it was simply amazing! Dolphins were everywhere and some were even leaping out of the water! The crew was fantastic and the captain made the trip very interesting by sharing so many interesting facts about dolphins. You can tell that he is not only knowledgable about the dolphins, but he truly cares about them. The sunset was spectacular and we got wonderful photos! Included in the price was pizza and hot dogs. There was also a cash bar and you could rent binoculars for 3 dollars. Kids ages 6 and under are free with a paying adult! Altogether, this was an extremely enjoyable cruise which we hope to take again in the future! This is the boat to take- definitely include this in your plans!

We had a great day on the Spirit of Cape May, sister ship to the Cape May Whale Watcher. Loads of dolphins and scenic sights. Captain Jeff, Jr. has a wonderful voice which made it an even more pleasant experience. (he's not bad on the eyes either ladies.) ;) We were on the 1:00-4:00 Cruise. It was cloudy with a chance of rain so they smartly chose the Spirit which is covered over for us. We hope to take in the Lighthouse tour next. Sounds lovely for couples. Cape May is lovely and was untouched by Superstorm Sandy. Get your trip in before the season ends! http://capemaywhalewatcher.com/

We took the 6:30 sunset/dolphin watch cruise. We did the regular cruise, not the dinner cruise. The dinner cruise is table service downstairs. It looks very nice, but expensive and you must have a reservation. The regular cruise is upstairs. They advertise pizza and hot dogs, but they also had sandwich trays. this was very nice and included in the price of the ticket. Beverages and snacks are available for purchase. The cruise takes 2 hours. They suggest you arrive by six because that's when they start to board. If you don't have tickets yet then I suggest getting there a little earlier in case there is a line. Look around for coupons, there usually inside the hotel lobbies or around town. It's a very nice cruise and we saw a lot of dolphins. Captain Stewart was Great. I gained a lot of knowledge about the dolphins and learned a few new things about Cape May. He was professional, and very entertaining. And of course the sunset was just beautiful. Thank you Captain Stewart. !
