Whale sightings update: We've been seeing lots of Minke whales the last several trips and even had a visit from some Finback whales on one of the trips and a 8' - 10' Porbeagle shark on another. Also seeing Harbor Porpoise, Eagles, and Seals. Beat the heat and come whale watching!

8/2/26- We had an incredible day on the water! We found ourselves at East Quoddy Lighthouse with an amazing show of a really good Minke that gave us lots of looks and what felt like a hundred Harbor Porpoise just putting on a show as they worked hard rounding up balls of herring. There was also lots of Razorbills and Shearwaters (Capt.Rob's favorite sea bird). We also saw Bald Eagles. Unfortunately with the high tide we didn't see many seals around, but not too surprising because they're usually hunting when their favorite ledges are under water.

Had a great whale watch this afternoon with a Humpback.

7/27/26 & 7/28/26

Monday's whale watch found us a little further around Campobello Island than we usually travel, but it was for a good cause. We found ourselves in a flat calm Bay of Fundy (something we haven't seen in a while) with two very slow Humpbacks. They were traveling East in no rush and coming to the surface quite often. One was pretty stingy with fluke shots, but the other show its flukes almost every time it dove. We also saw some Minke whales during the trip.

Tuesday's trip had us with a good Minke whale near East Quoddy Lighthouse. It stayed pretty much in one area, so we got lots of great looks.

Of course with both trips we saw Harbor Porpoise, Seals, and Eagles.

Here's a video from Monday's trip. It filmed from a little distance because we always try to give the Humps plenty of room. Of course the engine goes off when they're near, both for their protection and so we can hear their magnificent blows.

Had some quality time with our Minke whales both Saturday and Sunday. We saw somewhat of a rarity on Sunday's whale watch, two Minke whales traveling together for quite a while. Minkes are usually solitary creatures and you only see two near each other just because they happen to be feeding on the same school of herring. These two were obviously traveling together and it was just awesome to see. Of course we also saw Harbor Porpoise, Seals, and Bald Eagles on both days as well. Great weekend for sure.

7/24/26 - Today's whale watch was almost an exact repeat of yesterday's trip. Both the Pier Pressure and Ocean Obsession were out this afternoon and found us with a Minke whale inside the Passage and then out in the Bay with a Finback whale. It was a little choppy out there, but we got some amazing views and our passengers didn't seem to mind the chop. We also saw Harbor Porpoise, Seals, and Bald Eagles.

07/24/2026

7/23/26 - The afternoon whale watch had both the Ocean Obsession and the Pier Pressure out in the Bay spending time with a Finback whale and a few Minke whales. We also saw Bald Eagles, Porpoise, and Seals. It was a great day on the water.

07/22/2026

7/21/26 - Had a amazing afternoon whale watch with a very good Minke whale that gave us lots of great looks. Another Minke did make a quick appearance, but went the opposite direction as we were traveling. We also saw Bald Eagles, Seals, and a few Harbor Porpoise.
