Why you should go…
Captain John Boats has run whale-watching trips out of historic Plymouth Harbor since 1946, crossing Cape Cod Bay to the Stellwagen Bank feeding grounds. Four-hour excursions carry a naturalist who narrates sightings of humpback, finback, minke, and pilot whales alongside dolphins and seals. The company also runs deep-sea fishing trips, harbor cruises, private charters, and a fast ferry to Provincetown.
