You never know what to expect on any animal or mammal tour. This one far exceeded expectation. We saw 5 different whales and 3 at one time in one spot. One included a half. Tina our guide was awesome. Her knowledge of the whales and even specific whales by name was remarkable. Would highly recommend and would go again!!

It was a beautiful day in Gloucester - blue skies and calm seas. It took a while to find the whales but we came upon four, including a mother and calf. No breaches, but blowing and diving and surfacing. The tour guide was informative and engaging. Her love for the whales was contagious. Learned a lot, saw some magnificent creatures, and had a beautiful morning on the water. Would definitely go again!

The entire trip from start to return to Gloucester Harbor was flawless. The crew is experienced and helpful. The onboard Naturalist shares the back story of several whales and knows all their names. The team's ability to find whales and make the experience unforgettable is amazing. This was my 3rd whale watch in my 72 years, and it was the best! I'm originally from Gloucester and knew what the choices were, and I'm glad I picked Cape Ann Whale Watch. My teen grandchildren were with me, and even they found it all awesome. It's quite a day when you view whales breaching, diving, fin slapping and just having fun.
