Whale Watching

You can’t get much closer than traveling a quick 12 miles off Gloucester to a national marine preserve deemed on the “Top 5 Whale Watching Destinations in the World” by the World Wildlife Fund because of the many whale species that migrate off the coast of Gloucester every year to feed on the plentiful natural resources. Gloucester is also close to Jeffrey’s ledge another popular place for feeding and whale sightings.

We are lucky to be so close and have great companies and boats out of Gloucester for you to pick from.  We also offer convenient overnight packages with these companies – where by saving you time and money by just calling us. Whale watching trips usually begin April/May through October.
