Guaranteed whale sightings are provided for every tour to Stellwagen Bank, a national marine preserve recognized as one of the Top 5 Whale Watching Destinations in the World by the World Wildlife Fund. This is due to the wide variety of whale species that migrate to the coast of Gloucester, Massachusetts every year to feed on the abundant natural resources. The tour is conducted on The Hurricane II, the largest, fastest and most elegant whale watching vessel in Massachusetts, north of Boston. This allows patrons to spend more time with the whales than with other whale watching companies in Gloucester MA.
The Hurricane II is a 115 ft length vessel with over 400 ft of whale watching room from the railings of the upper and lower observation decks. It features a heated, furnished indoor cabin with a full service galley serving hot meals, snacks and cold beverages. There is also a fully stocked bar with local brews, popular beer, wine and mixed drinks.
AAA discounts are offered on the adult tickets. Reduced rates are also available for seniors, children and military families. This makes the tour suitable for any family entertainment budget, whether on vacation or a day trip.
The tour is the closest whale watch to Route 128N and is easy to find, located just 1/2 mile off Rt. 128N. There is also guaranteed free and easy parking just steps from the boat, with no parking meters.
The tour is great for children as it provides an opportunity for them to learn about marine life. Educators on board use teaching tools to fascinate and thrill them, making it an educational as well as an entertaining experience.
