I've gone with Cape Ann at least two times a year in the last 14 years. This was again a fantastic trip and I always see something that I haven't seen before. Specifically this trip we saw a gray seal in addition to the whales that wanted to stay with the boat for over an hour and a half. The crew is fantastic then it was really nice to be greeted when Sierra was happy to see us because it's been the first time this year. She made us feel like part of the family because everyone there feels like they're part of ours. I love bringing my friends and family to Cape Ann whenever they come to visit.

Dear joanneseligman, THANK YOU for your continued support! Isn't Siera great?! I'm glad you feel like you are part of our family business! It seems like this specific whale watch was one for the books! We don't see seals often, but when we do, people love it! We are excited to see you again soon. Kind regards, Capt. Jim Owner

We had a family trip for 7 booked for a morning watch, 3 of us had great directions, 4 of us were led astray by Apple Maps. The staff were so accommodating and understanding when I called in a quiet panic. They let the 3 in our party board the first boat and we were lucky enough to be able to go on the 1:30 boat that same day. The entire staff is very kind, happy, professional, and enthusiastic. A wonderful experience. This was our second watch, the whales were a little further out(it was low tide) and calmly feeding. The very first watch we went on a few years back treated us to huge pods of Atlantic dolphins and breaching whales over and over again! Worth the trip! Staff also went around the boat on the way out educating us on whale facts and the guide over the speaker was so excited, you can tell everyone loves their jobs!

Dear lunacopia, Thank you for your patience during a frustrating time! I am glad you found our crew to be accommodating and understanding, that's what we are here for! It sounds like you had a great whale watch seeing the whales feeding! We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, Capt. Jim Owner
