The start of another season has begun! Winter is behind us, Spring has sprung, and opening weekend for the 2026 season is in the books! Granted, it still may have felt like winter on the water, but our passengers were prepared and ready. The weather only allowed us to get a trip in on Saturday, but we'll take it. We spent time with a foursome of humpback whales associated with a small pod of Atlantic white-sided dolphins. What a sweet way to start the season with some of the crew's favorites - Owl, Spoon, Fan, and Downsweep!

We are ONE WEEK away from the start of our 2026 whale watching season! Who else is excited to get back out on the Gulf of Maine?

If you are hoping to join us, we can’t wait to see you. Don’t forget, the ocean is still quite cool so bring those coats, hats, and layers. It’s definitely not summertime temperatures yet!

Happy Earth Day!

This weekend has been an amazing showcase of the variety of marine life that has been hanging around the Jeffreys Ledge area. Today, we saw humpback whales, Atlantic white-sided dolphins, common dolphins, harbor porpoises, ocean sunfish, blue sharks, a leaping thresher shark, and a harbor seal. For birds, we saw a common murre, lots of great and Cory's shearwaters, a couple of fulmars and northern gannets!

The season may be wrapping up soon, but the marine life continues to provide plenty of special moments. 😍 Today we had numerous pelagic birds working above multiple pods of Atlantic white-sided dolphins, two first-time sightings of the season of Common dolphins and pilot whales (oh my goodness!), and a pair of humpback whales. What a day: https://granitestatewhalewatch.blogspot.com/2025/10/october-4-2025.html
