Product Info

The captains are all experienced and can generally spot whales. If no whales are spotted, the cruise company will provide a voucher for a free re-entry within the validity period, but there will be no refunds or compensation.

Sterwagan Marine Preserve, one of the world's premier wildlife viewing areas, is conveniently located in Boston's backyard. Every summer, whales flock to this underwater plateau at the mouth of Massachusetts Bay. Standing on the expansive deck, with its commanding view, the ship slowly sails out of Boston, the familiar bustling city receding into the distance, the land receding further and further away. Looking around, the sky is high and the sea is crystal clear, with sailboats of all sizes floating on the surface, contrasting beautifully with distant islands—the azure sea, white sails, and green islands create a picturesque scene. Soon, the sailboats and islands disappear, leaving only the vast ocean. The ship begins to slow down, and naturalists from the New England Aquarium will share their knowledge, answer your questions, and explain the fascinating behavior of these truly spectacular mammals. Gradually, we can clearly see the dark backs of whales moving slowly across the surface. Experienced captains will immediately slow the ship down, approaching them little by little, lest the sound of the propellers scare them away. The whale drew closer and closer, becoming increasingly clearer. Its back, protruding from the water, was remarkably smooth, gleaming black and striking in the sunlight. The beautiful scenery made the trip worthwhile! Whale watching in Boston is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
