And we are so grateful to each and every guest who joined us- we’ve made lasting friendships aboard the Whale Watcher, and we can’t wait to see you in the spring!

And what a year it was 🐋 ![]()
We’ll be reflecting on this on all winter long! Share your favorite moments; we’ll begin posting photos of each trip beginning next week!
What a finale to the 2026 season! We were treated to an ultra rare sighting of Risso’s dolphins who were associated with a group of humpback whales, making this sighting extra unique. ![]()
At 8.5 to 13 feet, Risso’s dolphins can weigh approximately 1,000 pounds. Typically found in deeper waters, they can dive 1,000 feet to feed on squid, octopus, and fish. ![]()
We have so many more photos and videos to share throughout our off-season, and we hope you will continue to share yours, too! Already counting down to May 16, 2027 🐋 ![]()
