Aloha, Wednesday’s Mid-Morning Cruise started with a splash (or to be more accurate…a whole lot of splashes!). Right after we left the harbor, we were surrounded by a pod of curious Spinner Dolphins who played with the boat (surfing, leaping, twirling and splashing) for a good 20 minutes. After that, we were completely surprised when …
Aloha, We were met with drizzly weather on Tuesday, but since we didn’t see any lightening or dangerous conditions anywhere around us, and since our guests wanted to go whale watching, we decided to give it a go…and we’re glad we did! We ended up heading south out of the bay on our Wake up …
Aloha, The seas were calm, the winds were calm, and the whales were calm for our Monday Wake up with the Whales Cruise. Guests joining us on Seasmoke saw a lot of different Humpbacks in our near vicinity — at least 7 different pods of 2 or 3 — just spouting and sounding. We spent …
Aloha, Did you see any Humpbacks this past weekend? Guests cruising with us sure did! Here are some highlights: On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, we saw multiple breaches (around a dozen) from various whales around us. We also watched 3 different pods of two sub-adult whales all in the same vicinity, doing …
Aloha, It was windy now and then during Thursday’s Whales & Cocktails at Sunset Cruise, but we got great views of a Mom/Calf/Escort pod. They were moving around quite a bit, and since all Humpbacks – even calves – spend a lot of their lives underwater, they weren’t nearly as affected by wind gusts as …
Aloha, Guests on Wednesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise got to see spouts and/or dorsal fins and/or flukes from about a dozen different Humpbacks all between 100 and 400 yards from the boat. All of these whales were in pods of twos or threes, and most of them were just going about their business …
Aloha, Well the seas finally calmed down…and we were very excited to get back out there on Tuesday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. It seemed like the whales were excited too, as we were seeing Humpback surface activity almost as soon as left the mooring. Guests on this cruise saw somewhere around 16 different …
Aloha, With the active winter storm warnings in the forecast, we knew on Sunday that we wouldn’t be able to operate safe and comfortable cruises on Monday, so we cancelled in advance. Good thing we did, because you can see in the photo what awaited us on Monday morning! With no whale sightings to report, …
Aloha, We began our weekend surrounded by Humpbacks. On Friday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise, guests saw multiple breaches from different whales in different directions. We spent most of our time watching a Mom/Baby/Escort pod…baby burned off some energy by breaching at least 7 times while we watched. We also got to see Mom …
Aloha, We literally saw dozens of Humpbacks during Thursday’s Wake up with the Whales Cruise. It seemed that no matter which way we looked, we’d see a spout or a dorsal fin or flukes. But more exciting than the sheer number of whales around us was the interest that they showed in us. While we …
