Cape Ann Whale Watch - Gloucester, Massachusetts

One of THE best whale watching experiences I have ever had. Tour guides were passionate and knowledgeable. Boat was great.

Only thing we wished they had was the ability to take card payment as we had no cash for snacks.

Truly great experience overall and highly recommend.

What an experience...totally mesmerizing. We took the 1.30 pm tour, our tour initially got cancelled due to wind conditions not being favourable. The office was very prompt enough to inform about cancellation and rebooked us for the next day. The whole tour took around 4 hours and we saw 5-6 humpback whales, few toothed whales and a seal. Seeing them in their natural environment was totally incredible. The whales were very active and we saw a lot of activity which the crew said was very rare. We even saw the whales take a jump. The crew was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. Totally recommended if you visit Gloucester, MA

Amazing trip to see the whales! We saw many humpback whales, a seal and spotted a different species of whale that we couldn’t get the best look at. The humpbacks were plentiful and closer to the boat than I expected. The staff were knowledgeable and kind. If we ever make another trip into the area, we will absolutely join another tour. This was a bucket list item for me and it was better than I could have imagined!! I didn’t get many photos because I didn’t want to drop my phone in the ocean but this one is my favorite I managed to get.

Will go back! They were so awesome! We had such an amazing time. They are very knowledgeable. There are concessions on the boat during the trip as well. You can sit outside, inside or on top. I've been telling everyone about this place, we enjoyed it so much.

First time on a whale watch and it was great!! Nice speedy ride out to the feeding grounds. The woman giving the narration and sights was pleasant and informative. When we arrived to the area for whale sightings, there were plenty. I believe we saw around 15-20 in all. There was even a mother and her calf. The tour boat has both deck seating, top and bottom. They also have inside seating and a galley for food and drink. The length of the excursion was around 3 1/2 - 4 hours. A great time, even getting splashed by the waves!!!

This was our very first whale watching experience. It was soooo good!! The staff and crew were so helpful and kind. We lost track of how many whales we saw- they know where to find them!! They made sure to have equal time for all sides of the boat to see whales. They had someone on the crew on the mic and she was soo knowledgeable!! They offer food and drinks on the boat- CASH ONLY!!! There are restrooms on the boat as well as indoor and outdoor seating. I would recommend this company for a great experience!

This was by far the absolute best whale watching tour I've ever been on. The whale watching experience you receive from Cape Ann is amazing. We encountered 2 different types of whales, the finback and humpback. We even saw a pod of dolphins and a shark. We were so close to the whales that it was just astounding. I took some videos when I was able to stop screaming and hold my phone still. Whoever was the captain on this boat 🚢 their driving skills and ability to let all aboard a view of everything while also having a respectful distance to these beautiful creatures was beyond Excellent. This tour is my favorite, and I will be back once a year from now on with a new person so they can experience what I have experienced. Amazing, Awesome Astounding 👌 Kudos to Cape Ann whale watching tours.

We didn't get to see any whales due to the water being too choppy. However, we're very informative for what we did see heading out. Plus they were super accommodating on either rescheduling or refunding depending on your circumstance. Definitely would love to go back out if we are ever back up that way.
