Private Whale Watching – Plymouth MA Whale Watch Charter

Marine Wildlife Sightings in Cape Cod Bay & Stellwagen Bank

The waters surrounding Plymouth Harbor, Cape Cod Bay, and Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary are among the most productive whale watching areas in New England. During the season, it is common to encounter humpback whales, fin whales, minke whales, and the rare North Atlantic right whale feeding in these nutrient-rich waters.

In addition to whales, guests frequently observe Atlantic white-sided dolphins, harbor porpoises, basking sharks, seals, and occasionally sea turtles. Seabirds including shearwaters, gannets, and storm petrels are also commonly seen diving for baitfish.

Because this is a private whale watching charter, your captain can adjust the route based on the latest wildlife sightings throughout Cape Cod Bay and Stellwagen Bank, giving your group the best opportunity to encounter marine wildlife up close.
