Taking just a short ride north to Jeffrey’s Ledge we quickly were surrounded by Humpback Whales!
A group of 5 Humpback Whales were open mouth feeding as we arrived. We continued to watch 14 more whales move through the area. Weather and whale watching turned out great. A great day for everyone!

A rather long travel brought us down near Provincetown at the tip of Cape Cod, but it was certainly worth the trip! The whales have found large amounts of food and displayed a variety of feeding behaviors including kick feeding and bubble nets. For a long time, five humpback whales were feeding together - all rising with mouths full of food. At times there where 10 whales around the boat feeding and diving. One whale decided to have a little fun and breached three times right near the boat.

A beautiful late afternoon ride took us straight to breaching whales! We first found Nile and her calf enjoying the waves - flipper flapping, tail slapping, and breaching. We then found another whale continuously breaching for a good ten minutes! What a serene moment to be alone with these magnificent creatures, it seemed we had them all to ourselves, as the other vessels have long since headed to port. As we moved on towards home, we watched several more whales breaching. A great way to end a great afternoon.

Starting out foggy, the fog cleared as we reached the bank. The fish have returned to the area after last week’s storm and birds swarmed everywhere feasting. A great day for bird watchers as we saw a variety of gulls, shearwaters, and storm petrels. The whales joined into this feeding. We saw Cajun, Pinpoint, and Cavalier and her calf all feeding on the sand eels. Some great views of wide mouth feeding and kick feeding right next to the boat. We saw several more humpbacks in the distance and a variety of different fin whales and minkes also enjoying the new feed. It turned out to be a gorgeous, clear day.

Great weather for another great day of whale watching. We saw a variety of birds throughout the trip, including gulls,shearwaters,and comorants. There were Fin whales swimming along side as we headed out. We found a large number of Humpback whales, including Cajun (for a third day in a row)and Filament. The whales spent a long time deep diving for food allowing some great fluke shots. We also saw a mother and calf enjoying the feast. Another great find for an excellent trip
