Boston Whale Watching

Ride Boston's only 3-hour Whale Watch

Boston Harbor Cruise's Whale Watching cruise is both an unforgettable and educational experience. Our professional researchers from the Whale Center of New England, the region's foremost authority on whale populations, are onboard for every trip to provide narration. They'll teach you about everything from whale behavior and migration patterns to the local ecology so you can better understand our deep-sea friends.

Our high-speed catamarans are the fastest, most comfortable way to view the ocean’s fascinating and magnificent creatures. Getting you to and from the whale watch in less time means you get to spend more time actually watching the whales. Check out our Photo Gallery to see the fun.

Our catamarans feature 3 outside decks for optimum whale watching. Inside you’ll find climate-controlled cabin space with cushioned seating, free WIFI, tables, state-of-the-art sound and video systems, and a galley offering food and beverages for purchase. Relax on deck and keep an eye out for humpbacks, minkes, finbacks and white-sided dolphins. Our vessels, the Aurora and Nora Vittoria, are custom-designed to be economically friendly, and ride smoothly so as not to disturb the whales. Stop by our ticketing offices today and reserve your seat for your next whale watch.

In the meantime, here's some recent whale watch video footage.
