Dolphin Fleet Whale Watch

Wonderful experience! Saw so many whales, even got to see the Center for Coastal Studies at work with their entanglement response team. It was such a beautiful day as well with sun and calm water! So glad we decided to go!

What an amazing whale watching experience! You will definitely see a whale on your trip. They take you right to the whales! The water was really rough the day we went out and the staff recommended that we take Dramamine that they sold on the boat before we left the dock and I am so glad we did. People were definitely getting seasick so come prepared. Great price for how much time you are on the water and what you get to see. I do recommend Dolphin Fleet!

Amazing experience! The Whale watch does not disappoint. Getting straight to the pint, yes, you will see whales. We saw four fin whales and four humpback whales on this trip. Funny, when a whale is spotted, everyone will shift from one side to the other. To make this easy, stand at the back of the second deck, and you will not have difficulty when needing to shift side to side. The naturalist on board was very informative as well as passionate in discussing the whales. These mammals are extraordinary.

Perfect excursion on the Dolphin Fleet! We saw humpback and minke whales, dolphins and one adorable seal. The crew was excellent, providing smooth sailing and sharing their expertise on these amazing mammals. Highly recommend to wildlife lovers of all ages.

Had a wonderful time with the family of whales we hung out with! The boat was comfy but a little overcrowded. Drinks and snacks available and bathroom was nice. The captain was kind enough to move the boat around so both sides of passengers could see the whales.

Time was that P-Town had two major whale-watching companies, but now it is down to one--The Dolphin Fleet. They do not take their customers for granted, however! First, the two boats we used on our 2024 trip to P-Town were sparkling clean and well staffed. The on-board naturalist was interesting and knowledgeable about Cape marine life, especially the visiting humpbacks. I truly believe that the naturalists are as excited to see these majestic creatures are the passengers are, and that makes seeing whales even more special. I am especially impressed with the boat captains who know how to maneuver the boat around the whales at a close but respectful distance. The whales we spotted seemed very comfortable having us hang around watching them. If you have never been on a whale watch--do it! Whales love the Cape in summer, and finding them is not a problem for the Dolphin Fleet folks. If you have enjoyed a whale watch in the past, go on another one. I have been on dozen of whale watches, and no two are like. I hope to go on many more. My husband took this photo on a trip we took in September '21. This was my first double humpback breach, and it was absolutely thrilling.

The whole experience was extraordinary. Not only we saw whales quite up close (and the team was very confident from the start that we would be seeing whales), the boat was also great, and so was the staff member that provided explanations about the different whales. The staff on land was also extremely kind and helpful. Easily a 5* experience.

Whale watching has been on my bucket list for years and this trip did not disappoint!! The ship was clean and welcoming, we sat upstairs to hear our lovely Whale Expert go over the different breeds we’d see and a ton of cool info. The snack bar had solid options to help hold you over until lunch or settle your stomach. The bathrooms were clean and there was almost never a line— and the best part: the whales showed up! Not sure if timing matters but we took the 10AM tour, which allowed us to still enjoy a hot lunch when we returned. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE: you get cold on the boat, it’s super windy and if you’re sitting the seats are metal. I wish I layered up more and chose a windbreaker + knit hat (baseball caps were flying in the wind lol).
