Set sail with us for the whale watch experience of a lifetime. Our destination: Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary, a rich feeding ground for whales, dolphins, sea birds and other marine creatures. You’ll have a good chance to view several different species of large whales, including humpbacks, finbacks, minkes, pilot whales and the critically endangered right whales. And you’ll learn about them from New England Aquarium naturalists who are always on board to share knowledge, answer your questions and explain the mind-blowing behaviors of these truly magnificent mammals.

Our custom whale watch catamarans are among the largest and fastest in the country. Up to 400 passengers can zoom to the whales at speeds approaching 35 knots (37.5 mph for you landlubbers). They’re also incredibly stable, and feature three outside viewing decks as well as a climate-controlled interior cabin with cushy seats and snack bar. Don’t just get to the whales—get to them in style and comfort.

You can recognize our cats by their distinctive blue and white hulls—but did you know they’re also green? BHC is proud to participate in the Passenger Vessel Association Waters Best Green Practices Program.

We are also a proud member of whalesense.org, which recognizes whale watching companies committed to responsible practices.

Most of our whales return to Massachusetts Bay every year, so we’ve gotten to know them by name. And now, you can too!
