All that and more!

Excellent adventure! The boat was immaculate and the staff friendly and knowledgeable. The ability to stay flexible on navigation while communicating with other boats on sightings provided incredible opportunities to see these magnificent creatures up close.

A lifetime experience with our grandson!

We live in the Pacific Northwest and have had a few whale sightings. Nothing comes close to what we witnessed in Stellwagon Bay. Incredible is an understatement! Seeing almost 50 whale in one spot was spectacular! The ship and crew gave us an experience of a life time! As grandparents with our grandson, this will be a treasured memory!

Phenomenal!

Absolutely phenomenal day learning about & observing the beautiful humpback whales and other sea life! The captain, naturalist & the crew is so passionate and knowledgeable! Just can’t beat a trip out on the ocean with 7 Seas! Special shoutout to the crew working the snack bar, they are awesome and while working hard find the time to engage with you about the whales and your experience! Can’t say enough, just loved it!
