1. It's a max booking of 10 for viator, not the boat. 2. They didn't enforce the mask rules they announced at the beginning of the cruise, and there was no staff on the main deck supervising things. Passengers children were running everywhere, it was not enjoyable for those reasons. Whales were great.

An amazing experience! The narrator was great at setting expectations before departing dock and explaining that every day / every trip is a different experience. The entire crew is welcoming, helpful and very knowledgeable about whales. It was amazing to see how enthusiastic the entire crew was at every sighting, even though they do this every day. It is clear they are passionate about learning and sharing their knowledge. We saw 8 whales in total and had a few breach, which was amazing. Definitely recommend.

Morning voyage was on time. Crew was professional and knowledgeable. Less than one hour into the trip, spied a whale nearly fully breached out of the water and came crashing down, about 1/4 of a mile off the bow. This was an incredible sight, right out of a National Geographic special! This was part of a pair of whales that seemed to be enjoying themselves, frequently rolling over, showing their fins and their tails, like they were performing. Saw 6 more whales over the next few hours; not as demonstrative as the first two, but a thrill to watch! We have been privileged to go on several whale watch cruises off the New England coast, but none could touch this experience. The family has already talked about going again before the end of October!
