The fact that we saw so many whales and their babies is not due to Eclipse Charters. This is a lot about luck, and all the operators share information with each other. However, our guide, Deb, was incredibly knowledgeable about the whales, and knew all of their names and how old they were. Our captain and Deb both were great about pointing out bald eagles as well. Deb was a fount of information overall, and we had the best whale watching experience we've ever had.
