We live in RI so this was a two hour drive to Gloucester MA for us and a bucket list experience for me to enjoy with our teenagers and my wife. The boat is stable, well cared for, clean and comfortable. We saw 8 humpback whales including a calf who fully jumped out of the water within 50 feet or less of the boat. The captain did a great job of getting us to where the whales were and keeping the boat positioned so that everyone aboard had unobstructed viewing. The crew were very pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended.

The whales were more south near Cape Cod, Stellwagen Bank. A 3.5 hour trip was close to 5.5 hours, the crew made sure we found them! Pleasantly surprised how educational the experience was. Interns and seasoned staff narrated what we were seeing. They had hands on examples to hold and brought sea animal toys to play with children and taught them also. Very conservation minded- especially when near the whales. Easy booking, check for Groupon. Get there early, boat fills fast. Anti-nausea medicine available, but not drastically needed. Food and drinks (alcoholic and non) onboard. An indoor area and sufficient out door deck space with seating. 4 restrooms, flushing toilets and sinks. Beautiful boat. An experience of a lifetime!

We saw so many whales! It was clean, prompt, educational and professional. Truly the highlight of our New England Trip.
