Newburyport Whale Watch

Newburyport Whale Watch

We recently spent an afternoon with the folks at Newburyport Whale Watch for a trip in the gulf of…read moreMaine searching for and watching some of the most amazing creatures in the ocean. The reservation process on line was straight forward and easy to use. The tickers were added to my iPhone wallet which would have been easy enough to board, but the staff had names available to check off which was even easier than fumbling with your phone or the internet access. For those who showed up on site to purchase tickets, those were available on site. Staff was young and friendly from greeting to service in the bar section with light food, snacks and beverages. The staff providing updates on the actual whales we did see was fascinating to hear. They were able to identify the two whales we did watch and made the experience all the better and personable. PSA - the staff works on tips similar to your waitstaff at a restaurant, so please be prepared to show your appreciation for their service, as warranted. While spotting whales is not guaranteed, we did see a couple of them, but not without a lot of travel. We were out almost a couple of hours to find them which also meant that after watching for about an hour, it was an equal trip back to the harbor. Keep that in mind. I am sure we all wish the trip was more like a 3 hour tour (with a happier ending than those on Gilligan's Island) but be prepared for spending 6 hours on the boat, especially if you are bringing young children who can become bored very easily especially in tight quarters. As a result, we returned to the dock at 6PM, 30 mins after the planned 5:30PM arrival while boarding the boat at 12:45PM for a scheduled 1:30PM departure. It should be noted that we did leave almost 20 mins late despite the booking warning that they will not wait for any passengers (but we did for 4 people...but I won't tell if you don't tell). The boat itself was clean and had plenty of seating inside and outside depending on your preference on the first two decks. They also have 2 bathrooms on the boat. I do not know why the top deck was not open as that would provide the best view of whales IMHO. Unfortunately, parking is a hassle in the area as most lots nearby only allow a 3 hour reservation via app or kiosk while you may be on the boat 6 hours. So, you run the risk of paying for 3 hours and then getting a ticket from the police which are located next door and cruise the lots steadily. Be warned.

We've had two great trips with Newburyport Whale Watch. Booking is straightforward, as are the…read moreinstructions on how to get there, though definitely leave ample time to park as the car park can be a little competitive! The boat isn't overcrowded and the staff are great, they are very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and kind, and it's obvious they love what they do - we enjoyed chatting to the on-board naturalist. The boat has two outdoor viewing decks and an enclosed sitting area by the snack bar. We preferred being outside but even in mid-June we had to wear coats and several layers because it gets chilly out at sea. We saw an acrobatic male humpback who breached multiple times - it was an experience of a lifetime!

This is a top notch boat, captain and crew from boarding to filleting. This is absolutely my…read morefavorite fishing fleets in the northeast. The mates Matt and Hayden go above and beyond and truly know their trade. No matter the season or the trip they always find quality fish and I always leave with a packed cooler. My second to last trip I caught at least one of every species, Cod, Haddock, Pollock, Cusk, Hake and Whiting. I highly recommend this fleet especially for someone looking to expand fishing knowledge and experience.

Usually, I never leave a review on online platforms since I prefer to deal with the locals…read moredirectly, and computers really aren't my thing. But for this one, I felt like I needed to speak up. I've been fishing for over 20 years with different crews in New York, Maine, and Rhode Island, and for the most part, I've always had good experiences. Unfortunately, this trip was one of the worst I've ever had. I understand fishing can be hit or miss, and a slow day on the water happens as that's part of the sport. What bothered me was the behavior of one of the staff members, a woman named Kelly who was working in the cabin. She was extremely rude to some folks on board, even yelling at someone about what to do with their catch and going after them outside. Then, as she walked back inside, she loudly said, "What the F###... Those Arabs," and continued mouthing off here and there. This was in front of families and children. I don't tolerate profiling or that kind of unprofessional behavior. It ruined the trip for me, and I won't be fishing with this company again.
