My husband and our 11 year old daughter and I were on vacation in Wildwood, NJ and decided to go on this excursion. We went on a Friday so the adult tickets were buy 1 get 1 half off with a coupon. Only $85.00 for all of us. We went on the 3 hour whale and dolphin watch. The boat was very clean and the staff were all very friendly. Unfortunately I became very sick to my stomach and thought I was going to get sick. I went up to the concession stand and asked for a plastic bag. The man dumped out the hot dog buns and gave me the bag they were in. He then proceeded to hand me pretzels and ginger ale. When I asked how much, he said don't worry about it and advised me to sit in the back of the boat where it was less rocky. We saw lots of dolphins, sting rays, jellyfish, and a small turtle. There were no whales but it was definitely a great time. Next time I will definitely take some Dramamine before getting on board.

I always wanted to do this trip and finally managed it on July 4. The boat was comfortable even though there were many families with small children on board. It suits all types, there are seats and tables inside, seats up top with a roof but open sides, and seats at the front and back with no shade at all for the sun lovers. The crew were very knowledgeable and gave a commentary on what we were seeing and the history of Cape May etc as we cruised past the beach. Were also knowledgeable about the marine life too. Saw a lot of dolphins but no whales. The boat took us 5 miles out to sea in an attempt to find some - which for me was a little concerning as I am a landlubber. On the whole a very nice afternoon and well worth the $40 ticket.

We thoroughly enjoyed our sunset cruise this past week. The captain was extremely informative, the ride was very pleasant and the sunset was fabulous! We saw plenty of dolphins, including a baby calf that was about 2 days old. The pizza was pretty good too. I would recommend this cruise to anyone visiting the Cape May area. This trip is well-worth the cost, a truly enjoyable time.
