Whale Watch
Given our fishing background we keep track of where the whales are! We stay informed with all of the local knowledge. Typically whales are right within the same grounds we fish.
Our whale watch tours are a fantastic way to spend your time out on the water. We offer this private charter because it is a better option than being on a larger more public passenger vessel.
We have done trips like this for couples, weddings, artists, photographers and more! You can contact us with any of your questions or booking needs.
Chartering this comfortable Downeast boat offers you a more private excursion and will be more beneficial and rewarding to the passengers.
There are also many other benefits of booking one of our whale watches, such as more one on one interactions with the captain and mate and the fact that it’s your boat for your charter, not anyone else’s. With that said, you can tell us what you want to see, what you want to do and where you want to go!
Our captain and mate are up to date and very familiar with the locations of the whales and sometimes can get you right up close. We strongly believe that we can get you better views and stay with the whales better than any other tour option!
Please note, we have never had a whale watch and not seen a whale, but in the case of us not seeing a whale we would offer a 20% off discount on a return trip.
