Our party of 8 included adults and children. The boat 🚢 was clean, excellently maintained and safety procedures were reviewed by crew. All crew members knowledgeable, friendly & ready to make our trip as comfortable and educational as possible, answering all questions. We could freely roam the boat - both outside & inside the heated cabin. Even the snack bar selection & service were great. Narration of tour was broadcast & able to be heard clearly. We were fortunate to see dolphins and tracked a humpback whale for over an hour! It was one of the highlights of our trip & we plan to return again!

The staff is very nice and very informative. It's a great way to get out on the water. They do their best to make certain you see, at the least, dolphins. Don't forget to look for a coupon on the Cape May map or in one of the visitor's guides.

We had this tour on a warm, sunny day in September. The beautiful weather made up for the lack of sightings. We saw less than a dozen dolphins and no whales. However, the cruise was very relaxing and provided great views of the Cape May area from the water.
