Overview

This Boston whale watching cruise lasts about three and a half hours aboard a high-speed catamaran. The boat travels from Boston to Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary, a feeding area for whales, dolphins, sea birds, and other marine animals. Passengers can expect to see several whale species, including humpback, finback, and minke whales. A naturalist from the New England Aquarium is on board to provide commentary, answer questions, and explain whale behaviors throughout the trip. The location of the whales may require additional travel time, so the trip can extend beyond three hours, sometimes up to four hours. The catamaran has restrooms and air conditioning for passenger comfort. Food and drinks are available for purchase on board, but gratuities and motion sickness medication are not included. Guests are advised to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a light sweater or jacket. Boarding begins 30 minutes before departure, and late arrivals will not be allowed to board. This cruise is not recommended for people prone to seasickness.
