Boston Harbor Whale Watch Cruise
Not only are you guaranteed a whale sighting on this three hour cruise, but the high-speed catamarans that take you to the whales will give you more photo-taking, wide-mouthed gaping, whale watching time.

Details:
Did a great job of taking care of securing our seats... Our seats at all shows were excellent. It could not have been made any easier... I did not have to stand in lines. I would recommend VME to anyone and certainly will use them again.

Three outside decks and climate-controlled cabin space provide the best of views. You'll get the opportunity to learn more about the whales of New England--including the endangered humpback--through a narration by a naturalist from the Whale Center of New England. This is Boston's only three hour whale watch, and it's an experience you won't want to miss!

Testimonials
I personally don't know because I was sea sick the entire time! But my husband and kids loved it. They saw whales, I saw the bottom of a paper bag.
Joy Fullhardt - Garden City, NY
I would definitely spend a day whale watching again if I needed a day to relax. I was fortunate enough to have great weather and actually see the whales. If you love being outdoors and being near or on the water, try it.. If you want to spend a few hours to make a lasting memory for your family, try it.
