Description

Go whale watching off the coast of Boston on a comfortable, high-speed catamaran with maximized outdoor and indoor viewing capacity. Look out for humpback, fin, and minke whales, as well as other wildlife species on this adventure cruise. Benefit from the best-guided experience, with Naturalists from the New England Aquarium, on-hand to provide you with expert commentary.

After you find your crew at the dock, board the high-speed catamaran that offers the fastest, most comfortable way to explore the costal waters of Massachusetts. Make the most of the outside viewing decks, climate-controlled cabin space with cushioned seating, tables, state-of-the-art sound and video systems, and a galley offering snacks and beverages for purchase. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for:

Humpback Whales:
The humpback’s name comes from the way its back arches out of the water when preparing for a deep dive. "Megaptera novaeangliae” is its true scientific name, which means “big-winged New Englander.

Fin Whales:
Fin Whales are second only to Blue Whales in overall size, measuring in at 45-70 feet in length and weighing approximately 40 tons as full-grown adults.

Minke Whales:
A sleek, small dolphin-like baleen whale, Minkes are the most abundant whale in the world today with a population numbering well over 1 million worldwide.

White-sided Dolphins:
Found only in the North Atlantic, in waters just south of New England and north to Norway, these playful mammals feed on single prey such as squid, unlike whales, who feast on large numbers of small fish.
