Yes, we saw many whales but it was more than that - the knowledge staff provided the Bibliography behind each and every whale. There were also Atlantic dolphins, tuna, and a few sharks (which I was not quick enough to see). Staff made sure all passengers were safe and overall it was just amazing. Given another opportunity - I will do this again.

I had originally booked a trip with them in May and had bought the tickets on Groupon. They called the day before and canceled claiming the coast guard scheduled an inspection. I find it hard to believe they didn’t have more notice. I booked it the day before the friend I was taking was due to have brain surgery. She was going to be out of commission for 3-4 months. Groupon told me they wouldn’t refund my money, that I would have to be refunded by Cape Ann Whale watch. The woman that was answering the phone was incredibly rude and told me to rebook or lose the money. I ended up booking a trip last minute for the original date with 7 seas whale watch which was great. I didn’t want to lose the $111 I spent on Cape Ann and ended up going a few days ago with different people. Again the office staff was incredibly rude. I had 4 tickets but only 3 of us could go and I wanted to gift the spare ticket to anyone in line that didn’t already have a ticket. Rude staff said “I don’t have time for that so you’re forfeiting it”. I’ll never use this company again. Go to 7 Seas Whale watch down the street. Much more professional staff

Dear Teri F, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review of Cape Ann Whale Watch. A couple of things I would like to notate. First things first, I am sorry about your friend who was under going brain surgery. Secondly, the Coast Guard can in fact do what they please, when they please, including scheduling last minute inspections. Lastly, after reading most other reviews on our Trip Advisor Account, that it seems like one of our office staff may have been having an off day, which I'm sure you can imagine will happen from time to time... we are all human. However, I am glad you enjoyed your time with 7 Seas Whale Watch, everybody has different experiences with different companies!!! Regards, Capt. Jim Douglass Owner

Of course the highlight of this tour was the whales and dolphins, but the crew went out of their way to ensure all passengers were able to see while still being mindful of the wild life. Would absolutely go again if I ever find myself out in Massachusetts again. Drinks and food on ship are cash only
