This morning’s trip found us enjoying glassy seas and lots of whales! Approximately a dozen humpbacks milled around, with playful calves and Atlantic white sided dolphins adding to the excitement.

And it was a extra special day for lead naturalist Laura - Happy Birthday Dad 💛

We are looking forward to our third Extended Whale Watch of 2026! Sailing as far as we’d like to find large aggregations of whales, this trip is sure to be a good one.

PLUS, we are joined by a team of experts who are ready to add their expertise in all things Cape Cod:

Ken Grille Photography ‘s photography workshops continue to be a popular start upon departing Barnstable Harbor. Not a beginner but have a technical question or looking for advice? Ken couldn’t be more kind with his instruction and guidance.

NOAA Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary S4 seabird observers will be on hand to collect data and share sightings info. We love this years-long partnership!

Cape Cod Maritime Museum ‘s Taylor will offer stories and history of Cape COD landscape and lighthouses.

Not to mention our regulars- those of you who’ve come to love the whales as much as we do. We can’t wait to catch up 🐋

🎟️ Space is limited to maximize comfort and viewing opportunities. Tickets are available by visiting www.whales.net or calling 1-800-287-0374.

Ever try to enjoy a meal with your friends but your toddler is acting a fool? Whales can relate.

Actually, humpback calves remain nearby to mom, even if she’s busy foraging near the ocean floor. Milkweed’s and Bolide’s calves seemed to entertain each other while the two mothers fed along side several other adults.

You still have time to meet these little ones before they are weaned and go off on their own! Tickets can be purchased at www.whales.net

Ever wonder how a whale sleeps? Humpbacks drift along at or near the surface of the water to rest. Unlike humans, however, whales are conscious breathers and have a unique adaptation called unihemispheric sleep. They shut down one half of their brain while the other remains awake to allow for breathing.

You’ll never know what you’ll see on a whale watch! Tickets are available at www.whales.net.

Enjoy 40 seconds of Atlantic white sided dolphins milling around our boat! We’ve been seeing more of these smaller cetacean (whales) in the last few weeks.

Dolphins are not a common sight on our whale watches, but we do tend see them more in the fall. Join us a for a chance to see them by visiting www.whales.net

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to see four whales out of the water at once while 20 others surround the boat, trust us when we say it’s overstimulating in the best way possible.

Whale activity is showing no signs of slowing down! Information and tickets can be found at www.whales.net.

Yesterday afternoon’s trip was unlike anything we can remember, with constant breaching from the time we approached whales to well after it was time to return to the dock.

Jabiru’s calf has an extra little spark about them. This young whale has become known for their close approaches and energetic behaviors. Can you see how flexible humpback flippers can be!

They sure do! Whales are active day and night, 365 days a year, and don’t mind a little water from above- they’re already wet.
