We had a great afternoon on Thursday exploring Stellwagen Bank! Here's the report from our naturalist 🐳

"This afternoon we spent time with two individual humpback whales! We started the trip watching a juvenile humpback whale who was tail lobbing and flipper snapping. We then spent time with a whale known as Sedge, an individual we have seen multiple times already this season! Thanks for today's passengers for joining us!"

Bringing you the report from Wednesday's deep sea fishing trip!

We had beautiful weather and a smooth ride out, although it was a bit longer than usual—but hey, that's where the fish are! 🎣

We had a steady pace of haddock and redfish throughout the day, with a few healthy-sized cusk in the mix.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us onboard! Looking forward to the next trip on Saturday, 5/31 at 7 am!

The season of 2025 whale (and shark!) watching has very much arrived! Yesterday afternoon‘s cruise on the Tails of the Sea produced abundant sightings, including four basking sharks who made close approaches while filter feeding, the first of which was so massive, passengers could view all the way into its outstretched mouth. We also enjoyed feeding behaviors and surface active behaviors from humpback whales and minke whales, all without leaving Cape Cod Bay. Dross, one of our well-known female humpback whales, spent massive amounts of energy split between feeding, breaching, and flipper slapping, all on her own, and much to our delight! Not bad for a Tuesday afternoon on the water.

It's Memorial Day weekend! What better way to spend it than be out on the water. Our passengers on both trips were treated to some amazing sightings. Our morning trip including multiple humpback whales and a great look at an inquisitive seal. The afternoon was a 3 species trip with humpbacks, minkes, and amazing looks at two fin whales. Come out with us, it's looking like it will be a great season!
