An amazing experience. The marine biologist said she had been doing this since she was a kid and never saw what we did that day. At 1 point there 5 humpback whales and a pod of dolphins within 200 yards of boat. You can see we safely got closer at one point. This was in cape cod bay and not even where they had planned on going. We also saw Whales heading to and from where we did. Highly recommended..

The boats are amazing. The whales are so cool when you see them up close.

Incredible experience! We saw so many whales during our tour. The crew was friendly and professional. The boat was quite full. Total experience was 3+ hours. If you want to sit inside for the hour+ journey where the whales play, get there early!

Fabulous whale watching excursion. Lynsey was friendly and informative and enlightened us to the life of whales. Highly recommend Captain John Boats. Thanks for a great afternoon.

I gave my daughter a gift of a whale watch back in September. They only saw 1 whale off in the distance and that was it. It is my understanding that it's a guarantee or your money back or free trip to compensate for lack of wildlife?

Dolores Lavallee | Sep 13, 2019
Kiia Ribeiro | Sep 13, 2019

No. Sometimes that's just how nature works. It's unfortunate, I go every year, had a few times spottings were few.
