Found the Cape May Watcher and bought sunset tickets through their website. With this 2 hour cruise, it includes pizza or a hot dog. They do have fountain drinks and small bar drinks for sale.

We didn't see any whales on this trip but saw plenty of dolphins. We took our toddler on his first boat ride and he enjoyed it. Appreciated the pastries, juice and coffee. One staff member mentioned to us when we would need to have our toddler kneel or how to hold him as the boat entered rougher seas. I really appreciated how kind he was. Staff genuinely care about the animals in the ocean and were careful when steering around dolphin pods. Would absolutely do this again and encourage others to visit and purchase with Whale Watcher as well.

When you haven't had any days off in months though and your daily routine is getting to you and physically (mentally and emotionally not applicable here because there is alcohol for that), the idea of driving down to Wildwood with the possibility of swinging by AC, to be on a boat for 2-3 hours is pretty relaxing - dolphins or no dolphins. Getting a Groupon deal on this helped too, although these guys are not expensive to begin with - for two people, it's $35 on Groupon/$76 without. Although there were no whales, we actually did get to see a family of dolphins. Had we not gotten to see them, the tour itself would have been sufficient as well, as we got a pretty detailed tour of Cape May, its surroundings, and some interesting facts about the Jersey wetlands. Like I said - this may sound dull, but when you are on a boat away from work & worries - life is good. They have 3 cruises per day - 10:30, 1:30, and one in the evening. The afternoon cruise is a bit longer and features free hot dogs !!!!!!! OMGFJSDFLKJ1111!!!! With free afternoon hot dogs, a friendly crew, and an excuse to go down to AC - what more do you need?

Our Captain and first mate greeted us on the dock, and ushered us onto the ship to begin our adventure, complete with our own pirate names. We were entertained by the crew, as well as our group were included in fighting off the ship "Pieces of Eight", yelling " Ahoy scallywags" as other boats went by, and locating the missing treasure. From age 6 to 84, we all had a wonderful time!

When you arrive you are greeted by friendly pirate/sailors and you can have a face painting design on your face. Once we board the children are included in a good storyline which basically has to do with treasure and X marking the spot. The boat is followed by bad pirates and their water cannons on the side of the boat are used by the kids to wet the speedboat next to us. They feel included and enjoy the entire experience. There is a new store they fixed up in the building where you can buy drinks and such. Make sure you dress the kids up in their pirate costume if they have one as it adds to the fun. I think parking is included? I'm not sure as we walked over. I'll definitely be back!

The price in 2014 is $50 per person or $130 for a party of 3 (the helicopter is small and only holds 3 passengers and the pilot). The ride is 5-7 minutes long (depending on winds) and covers from the southern tip of the city of Wildwood all the way to Stone Harbor (it doesn't spend any time looking over Wildwood Crest). The staff was friendly and helpful, and eager to ensure a safe and happy flight. Cameras are welcome - rather encouraged! - allowing you to share your ride with the world. The pilot we had was professional and made the ride smooth as butter (no jolt at landing to bother my sensitive back). I encourage you to go during sunset. There is nothing like seeing the fiery clouds of a Wildwood twilight from the air! The only way they could improve would be with some guidance from the pilot (or a recorded tour guide) as to what you were looking at. Everyone wears ear protection, but without any method of transmitting voice between you. So, you're dependent on your own knowledge of the island to be sure what you're looking at the whole time. (If you're new, you may want to call up a quick map before you go up to familiarize yourself with the geography.)
