5.00My daughter and I had a great time Although the whales were a little elusive (some spouts, a tail) We had a lovely time sailing. We specifically chose a small charter to avoid too many tourists and it worked out perfectly. Thank you
This is a must that you do, but you have to be ready for the movement of the ship

5.00What a wonderful whale watching experience we had with Captain Doug!! He was kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and we were able to catch about 10 whale sightings! His boat was clean and safe. We enjoyed his company, the tour and information, and the boat ride. We saw other overcrowded boats and we were so thankful we were on a small group tour. I highly recommend Charterscene and Cap. Doug!! You don't want to miss it!
Humpback Whales

5.00Really pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Chilled out and leisure way to attempt to see whales. The exact opposite of some of the competitors with their pay per shot photographers and clowns on microphones. With these guys you get a small group, two guys who actually enjoy sailing and if you’re lucky you might get to see some whales and even get a mug of soup too. Highly recommended as a relaxed way to spend an afternoon.
