What an incredible experience! - We had a beautiful morning whale watching with Brian. His boat is comfortable and we got to experience the incredible humpbacks at see. He drops a device in the water so that you can hear them calling and that was so neat to hear! I would definitely recommend this whale watching tour to family and friends!

Great family adventure. - We are so thankful the whales were still in the area. They stayed around our group for some time and they put on a fantastic show. The dolphins started with us when we were shortly out of the harbor. Our guide and his crew were very knowledgeable, friendly and funny.

Unforgettable Whale and Dolphin Watching - Amazing experience! We saw so many dolphins and whales. The crew was so knowledgeable, teaching us a ton about the whales and dolphins as well as answering all our questions. Can’t recommend enough!

Epic! Do it! - It was the best day of my life! Captain Brian and Jan were just amazing. They have so much knowledge and great tips and tricks. We saw so many whales, at least eight different ones including a mom and calf. Even if we hadn’t seen the whales it would have been worth it just hearing them sing. It was transformative. Jan made amazing turkey sandwiches (which I didn’t know was possible!) BEST DAY EVER!

So Many Whales! - Captain Brian took us out Saturday Feb 1 for a funtastik whale watch with plenty of whales. The seas were a bit choppy with some wind left over from the storm. The large rigid inflatable boat with such comfortable forward seating makes for a great ride even when the seas are up.We had a hydrophone to listen to whale songs, moanings and mutterings which adds such a dimension to the whole experience!I’ll be out for several more charters this season. I just cannot get enough!

Awesome day on the water! - Great day on the water with Capt Brian and his crew. Personal, small group experience is superior to larger boats packed with tons of other guests. Highly recommend.
