Why You Should Go...
Go on an exciting nature adventure with 7 Seas Whale Watch and visit some of the world's largest and most endangered animals in their natural habitat. Gloucester is the ideal place to go whale watching. It is the closest port to two principal feeding grounds for the great whales, Stellwagen Bank and Jeffrey's Ledge, which comprise the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary.
Experience the PRIVATEER IV, the area's newest and most comfortable vessel. Enjoy onboard GPS and chart plotters for passengers to view during the trip, information stations about whales and their environment, comfortable accommodations with a large inside cabin, and a full-service galley and bar.
7 Seas Whale Watch, now in its thirty-fourth year, has been chosen Editor's Pick for "Best Whale Watching in New England." Still, Yankee Travelers Magazine was named the "Boston A-List" winner for Best Whale Watch in 2014 and has been the top-rated Gloucester whale watch on "Trip Advisor" for the past five years.

Fun Facts
Whales can eat more than 3,000 pounds of fish each day (well over 1,000,000 calories) while in New England Waters. Whales are also seen on over 98% of whale watching trips departing from Gloucester.
7 Seas is a family business. Three generations of career captains have worked from the dock for more than seven decades.
Every 7 Seas trip is staffed by a professional marine biologist who narrates the trip. 7 Seas is also in partnership with Ocean Alliance, a worldwide advocate for the preservation of whales and their environment started by Dr. Robert Paine, noted for discovering the songs of Humpback whales.
