I've lived here in Gloucester for close to 20 years now. I used to live in too many parts of Boston to remember. I grew up to 15 in the suburbs of Sharon, to boot. We lived about 45 minutes to the Atlantic Ocean. I have no idea why, but we had an atrociously beautful "Whaling Museum" that I used to go to class fields trips to when I was young. I saw at least one closely (if not fully) complete whale skeleton hung in the air above our heads. I remember feeling sadness and pity, though I would not know how to label 'pity' at that age. Then all of the students would be hustled into the room where the massive scrimshaw display was located. jeepers, I didn't know what to think. Google scrimshaw if you don't know what it is. To summarize Cape Ann Whale Watch: I've been on approximately 40-50 whale watches in my life, many with Cape Ann Whale Watch. I would never pick another company or another crew. They are very professional and safe. I think I've been out with them 10 times and we only had to come back early once because of dangerous weather conditions. You get more time with the whales and a "sight seeing" guarantee. You can't beat that! P.S. In all the years that I've gone, I've only seen Humpbacks. I have no idea why. But I'll keep hopping on the Hurricane II at least once a year every year until life pulls me to a different stretch of the New England Coast. I'm thinking Portland, ME?

Our trip was the first one of the 2022, and our families first whale watching tour! It was an amazing experience! We saw sea lions, dolphins and of course whales :)

I have been going on whale watch trips for 30 years! New England, California, Alaska! This group is by far the best! The Hurricane ll is comfortable, the crew was knowledgeable and attentive. I will make this my go to company from now on!
