Amazing and everything I hoped it would be! Staff was knowledgeable and so kind. My daughters starting feeling a little sick so they gave them a little toy souvenir, some ginger ale, and checked on them frequently. We got to see 2 whales and a ton of dolphins. Such an amazing experience. Thank you!

The BEST whale watching EVER - we watched whales for at least an hour straight, there were so many you couldnt turn fast enough to see them all! One went right under the front of the boat!! They are so close you can see details on their faces, it is amazing!! The staff is amazing, they explain the moves the whales are making, they tell us all the interesting info about whales, they know their names, the staff come around individually to see if we have any questions, they are just very knowledgeable and very helpful and friendly!! The boat is very comfortable & clean, and this company does all they can for the safety of their customers! When we got back to land, we went into the little gift shop they have & when we came out every staff person on that boat was washing/ sanitizing the entire thing, it was very reassuring to see that! If you go to the MA coast, you have to go on this whale watch, it was the best thing we did here!!

My partner surprised me with tickets for whale watching this summer, something Ive ALWAYS wanted to do. The experience was remarkable. I wasnt entirely sure what to expect, but part of me knew that were dealing with nature, which can obviously be very unpredictable. We saw at least 20 whales, both adults and juveniles alike. It was quite emotional, such a huge and magnificent animal, in its natural habitat, just being. Very curious about us, but naturally also cautious. They didnt hesitate to put on a show! The younger ones always bobbing their heads out of the water to peek at us and the boat and the adults diving down and coming back up. Absolutely amazing. The staff was friendly and highly knowledgeable about the area and the whales, as theyve come to know them individually. They were very respectful of the whales.The ship was operating at reduced capacity due to COVID-19 and everyone was required to wear a mask at all times. There was enough space for everyone to sit with reasonable space between parties. The ship had a snack stand and a bar (added cost) and a restroom. Definitely an experience I would recommend!

It was a grey and rainy day, however... we had an awesome 3 hour trip ( last one of the season!!!)with up close and personal looks at humpbacks and some quick looks at the notoriously boat shy porpoises.Super cool crew, great naturalist, great captain.This boat is one the nicest passenger/tour boats I have been on and is kept in very clean shape and seems to be very well maintained.Im looking forward to returning next year FOR SURE!!

The crew was amazing! Many people were sick due to the rough waters, but everyone was cared for like family. The knowledge shared by Amanda was amazing as well. This was my first time on a whale watch, and I will definitely go again.

Wow! We had an awesome time this morning. The crew was caring and ensured that all were safe. This was our first time whale watching. We were not disappointed. We saw 6 different moms with the calfs swimming, diving and tail waving. We also do a lot, I mean a lot of whales doing a full body breach. Wow! The naturalist (Amanda) told us today was special with all surface activity. Would go back again!

Great experience! Saw 8 different humpbacks, including two mothers with calves. They were very active on the surface. Even saw a full breach! Staff were very informative and friendly. Would highly recommend!

The boat is extremely clean and throughout our trip, they were cleaning common areas and rail ways.Mark is very knowledgeable and the team overall was very service oriented and friendly. Even when I tried to book a tour for 11 of us, the ticket agent was super helpful and responsive. We enjoy our trip and seeing the whales!

7 Seas Whale Watch is amazing! Me and my girlfriend had an amazing experience where we saw at least a dozen whales, according to the captain. The woman guide was extremely knowledgeable about the whales and told us about everything from migration patterns to how they name the whales. The captain was just phenomenal! He did an awesome job about getting us up close to the whales and giving us a good view. We actually passed another whale watch ship and their captain was not nearly as good as ours! We got to see so much whale action because our captain was so good. The staff was very welcoming and made sure to check in on passengers to make sure they were feeling well. Thank you 7 Seas! Well be back next year :)

Fantastic tour. The crew and boat were wonderful. We saw multiple Humpback whales, a mom and her calf, and another group of four. We saw full breaches, fluke slapping and spy hopping. Wonderful day at sea. Great and knowledgeable crew. Worth every dime!

This was the best Whale Watching experience by far! They kept it informative and fun. Communicated with other boats and put the extra effort in to take us to the most active spots. The crew moved around the boat answering questions. Will definitely be returning here and bringing more people who havnt been! Loved it!

Awesome trip! Great tour. Saw 5 Whales and a huge pod of dolphins. Crew was friendly and well informed.

This is the best whale watch company by far. Even when it isnt covid they dont fill the boat. There is always a naturalist on board. I go with them multiple times a year. They work to get the whales on one side of the boat so everyone can see them and not get too close and endanger the whales. Its usually a marvelous show. If it isnt, you get a raincheck. Because it is nature!If the water is way too rough they cancel. If it is rough but not dangerous and they think some people might get seasick they warn and offer to reschedule them. I wish more people would take them up on that because seeing people throw up isnt fun! The crew handles it wonderfully and I want to give them credit for that. Ive only seen it happen twice but the last time was yesterday. It isnt their fault I just dont have another platform to say listen to 7 Seas when they tell you it might be rough!

A wonderful friendly crew, great customer service. Continued to check on people on the boat to make sure they were okay, and answered any and all questions about whales. Very informative.

Really enjoyed my experience whale watching. The announcer was very informative and it was great to know much more about whales and see then up close. Will remember this day very fondly.

On our trip we got to see seven humpback whales including a mother with a calf. We were lucky to see multiple sightings some from a very close range. In fact, at some point mom & her calf were so close to the boat that we got sprayed with the mist from her blow hole. We also saw a full breach which was simply awesome. All that without any equipment locating the whales. Our guide was super informative and passionate about whales just like all of us on the boat. The captain was highly skilled at positioning the boat to give us the best views. Overall, the experience was awesome and unforgettable

The Captain and staff were very attentive and constantly made sure we were ok or needed anything. The Captain definitely made every opportunity to steer the boat everywhere he saw the whales. It was spectacular. I recommend going and go again.

Fantastic! We saw a lonely unnamed male humpback, and a group of humpback. Cajun and her calf milkweed were super friendly and curious about the human. The crew is so helpful and knowledgeable.

Very clean...very friendly staff...CarolAnd Joe were so helpful...and knowledgeable...Amanda our tourguide was so friendly and knowledgable ...they were all personsable...I met a local man Wayne with a 4 legged cane...who fished for TunaIn his earlier years...and who was also a 3rd generation fisherman in the area.Then let him ride the boat and help them spot/watch 4 whales and otherInteresting sea creatures... he was a joy 2 have along 4 the rideMy partner was seasick about 7 miles out 4 the entire trip....Joe was great..2 him..As were many passengersWe saw so many humpback WHALES& COMMON (not common in the Glouster area) dolphins a group of maybe 100...Bubble netting feeding by the WHALESAn overall GREAT/ grand DAY OF SHEAR fun and excitement Todd& Mr.David

Remember when you were a kid singing,A sailor went to sea sea sea, to see what he could see see see... (You know the rest )The fantastic team from the 7 Sea Whale Watch will take you for one of the best experiences you didnt even know you could imagine.Our group got to see the Whales up close and as we were headed back we saw dolphins I will HIGHLY recommend this experience to my family and friends.All the way from Kansas City THANK YOU!! Cant wait to come back.

First time whale watcher and I’m hooked! Already can’t wait for my next trip out. The boat was clean and everyone was polite and practicing social distancing.

We went on a watch on the afternoon of 9/8/20. When the ship returned from the previous watch, they sprayed and wiped down all contact surfaces, and periodically during our trip. The staff was exrtremely friendly and knowledgable. We saw 12 whlales that the staff knew by name and a few more that they said had not been identified yet. would return and recommend to anyone interested. Watch was a full 4 hours total.

Unfortunately it was too rough to get out to Stellwagon where the whales are but they were very nice and reimbursed the whole trip. We got to ride some big waves for a little bit that was fun!

Took a trip mid week, weather was super foggy in port but we lucked out! Everyone wore masks and had room to spread out. Saw humpbacks, including a mother and calf and two different types of dolphins! This was my first whale watching experience and was absolutely amazing! Staff was knowledgeable and so kind.

The trip was an absolute blast!! So worth it! The staff is very knowledgeable. Plenty of health precautions on the ship, in addition to allowing only 50% capacity. It was our first whale watch experience that will be very hard to beat.

Superbly organized whale watching cruises. The biologist is really enthusiastic and competent.

Can’t rate this tour high enough. It was an excellent whale watch experience. We spotted a number of whales pretty close to our boat and took amazing pictures. The crew was really awesome and the ongoing commentary through out the tour was very informative. I would highly recommend the 7 Seas Whale Watch tour. Thumbs up.

This was hands down the best tour! Yes, it was my first whale watch but I’ve done others like dolphin and other ocean tours. Unfortunately I was busy chasing around my two year old so I don’t remember the woman’s name who was the tour guide. She did a phenomenal job giving us history about the bay and the animals we saw on our trip. She had extensive knowledge about the dolphins and humpbacks and was the best tour guide I’ve had as well. All the staff were great. I saw a few guys helping out some people who got sick and kept checking on them for the duration of the tour.If I remember correctly we saw about 16 humpbacks and 40 common dolphins. It was something I will never forget! The dolphins were jumping in and out of the water, playing in the waves created by the boat. The humpbacks were amazing to see and so beautiful. It was truly magical! Please do a tour here it is well worth it.

My son is Autistic and unfortunately got sick when we were stopping when the whales were in view. I cannot say enough positive things about the staff on the boat. They were so professional, made sure we had ginger ale and crackers. And kept checking on us throughout the trip. Even my other son that’s 13 told me mom the staff were amazing you need to write a good review. We will definitely go again and have shared our amazing experience with friends. We also saw numerous of whales and had a blast “while the boat was moving” thank you again

Whale soup! There were sooo many whales! 7 Seas is the only watch we take. Weve never been disappointed, but today was beyond amazing! Thanks for another great tour!

A unique experience where you board a large vessel, and enter the Gulf of Maine. The day we went in July allowed for maximum viewing potential of whales!Great staff on board!!

I have been on several Whale watches and this is by far the best! They always go out of their way to make sure you have a great trip, searching for something new for you to see. The staff is simply amazing!

One of the best whale watches Ive ever been on, extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff, and saw whales about 20ft or closer for almost an hour straight!

Went on the morning trip on 8/10 (Monday)...We had such a great time - top deck had about 24 people total & everyone was great about masking. Captain was so good to get up close to the whales and not rush off....We saw 3 Humpback momma/calf pairs and other whales right near our boat. We had a calf breach very unexpectedly as we were waiting for them to resurface...it was awesome! Plus, we saw a number of tail flips and, on the way back in, a passenger spotted another whale. The captain drove the boat right over to him and we were treated to a huge tail splash! I realize we were very lucky because you cant predict their behavior but the Captain and crew were wonderful - very knowledgeable and anxious for us to have a great experience - and it certainly was! I hope to go again next week!

This tour is amazing. I researched for quite some time, and feel I definitely made the right choice. If I were to go again...Id pick this same group.The boat was great. Lots of room. Once we got out to the sanctuary, we were able to see some amazing whales.Whats even better, the captain made sure both sides of the boat got to see the whales. You didnt have to rush back and forth or push and shove. Very knowledgeable staff, and extremely friendly. This trip, we didnt see anything other than 3 whales, but it was so worth it.

Amazing experience and great people on the boat. They came around and talked to everybody explaining things and answering questions. Great great tour!!

Definitely the better choice for social distancing. Our tour was sold out and we passed another whale watching boat that had probably twice as many people. The guides are really informative and all staff was super friendly and helpful.

Had a lovely time seeing whales! Saw lots of humpbacks. Our guide was quite helpful and well informed. Only downside was that the ship was packed with people so while it was a nice whale watch it wasn’t as nice a ride on a boat (ship?). Would love to do this again with fewer people.

It was a great trip. Saw many whales and dolphins. Also saw a sunfish a first for me. Crew is always great and helpful. We try to make 2 or 3 trips a year.

Our experience was beyond amazing! Something we couldnt have even imagined happening!!! The crew was amazing as well! We will always come back to 7 seas!

We had a great time. Bring sea sick pills and you will be fine

Awesome my first out on Sea and it was great seen whales and dolphins best experience I had

Spending time in the company of whales is humbling. Just got back from a few hours on the water with 7 Seas. It was a fantastic day made better by the courtesy and professionalism of the crew. We saw at least a dozen humpback whales, including some young uns, that were diving, feeding and resurfacing. Its quite an experience and drives home the necessity of protecting our oceans and their residents. And PLEASE tip the crew! Of about 60 on board during our trip, we were the only couple who gave a little extra. These businesses are operating at half their normal passenger capacity, yet still providing top notch service. If you can afford the tickets, you can afford an extra 10 or 20 dollars for the crew.

Excellent crew for the whale watch. We saw lots of whales and beautiful views. Easily able to social distance and plenty of room for everyone. Nice to get outside and see nature and do something related to nature. Great social distance activity for the family.

GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!! I took my daughter for her first whale watch!! And as youd expect whales first go!!!! I recommend this for anyone!!! Crew was knowledgeable and great as well definitely will be returning!!!

The best whale watch company out of Gloucester! Clean boat, helpful and informative crew, very knowledgeable naturalists.If you are going to give whale watching a try, start with the best! I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

Excellent tour!! Very professional staff! Most amazing fried Doug!! Bring the family or your significant other! Cant go wrong spending a day on the water with these guys.

Fun and informative. We learned a lot and saw quite a bit of whale activity. The crew was fabulous and friendly. Wed do it again.

So great. The whole crew was wonderful and we had the best time.

Weve been to 7 Seas many times as a family. But this week we finally took my nephew on his first whale watch. It was awesome!! The crew, even with limitations due to the pandemic were spot on and you could tell they enjoyed interacting with the passengers.

Loved it, amazing trip, saw lots of whales & dolphins. Staff was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable knowing precisely where to go to find whales also gave information about Gloucester harbour and allowed plenty of time for photo ops. On-board was great, beer on tap for around $7 a pint as well as other snacks and drinks and trinkets for sale all very reasonably priced. Wil absolutely go back out with this venue. Word of advice, make sure to wear comfortable and warm clothes it can get very cold on deck.

The whale watch was wonderful. Not too full during the pandemic and we saw many whales up close! Id definitely recommend!!

We had a wonderful time. Carol was one of the nicest people I have ever met. We saw 8 different whales and a pod of dolphins. The crew was all wonderful

The price was right for this once in a lifetime experience! They book their boat to only 1/2 of its capacity to make their passengers more comfortable. Also, when they spot whales and other sea animals, its much easier to move from one side of the boat to the other for unprecedented viewing. I cannot confirm whether or not it is true that the whale watching boats in Boston (1 hour by car) book theirs to capacity and cram their passengers in like sardines. See what I did there? LOL I did hear from several sources that the boats in Boston do that. In addition, the crew at 7 Seas was very knowledgeable about the whales we saw, knew exactly where to find them and were super friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this family friendly activity without reservations. I do recommend you make reservations several days in advance because they fill up fast. I would totally do this again!

This was great! I highly recommended 7 Seas, the staff is fabby and so sweet. Ms. Liz was able to help us with recommendations for taking the train from Boston out to Gloucester to make this magic happen. The on board naturalist was a bonus! She and the intern had great information on the Humpback Whale Diablo we saw.

Great time. Saw several whales. Go early to get a place to sit of choice. The upper deck has limited seating. Below deck is the bulk of the seating, snack bar etc. Great trip and not to crowded at all.

Extremely professional, great explanations and saw so many whales. Beautiful, majestic, and extremely fun! Our kids enjoyed it.

We spent 3 hours chasing whales only to see pieces of whales. It lasted way too long . I know the lady narrating was supposed to be informative and helpful, but by the 2nd hour I really just wanted to throw her overboard! Very anticlimactic. The excuse they use is the whales are wild animals and we cant control their behavior. But, you CAN control how you advertise, and this was NOTHING like what it looked like in the brochure. I wouldnt go again.

We saw 2 groups of 4 whales together, & 1 group of 5!!! Not only that, but we saw them FULLY breach!!! BEST experience of these majestic creatures... The staff were pretty terrific as well!!!

Second time going on a whale watch but first time with this establishment, was absolutely impressed with the staffs knowledge about all of the wildlife in the area along with the landmarks leading out to sea. Saw 5 separate humpback whales, one of them was first spotted back in 1977! Highly recommend 7 seas whale watch!!

Best whale watch Ive been on!

It was amazing to see the whales and dolphins. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would definitely take the trip again.

Where do i start plenty of cheap parking10 hours$ 5.00. Booking at 50% capacity not crowded clean crew helpful great family fun. Pricey. but ok for a special day saw many whales close up mother s and. calfs.

Awesome whale watching excursion. We were lucky enough to see 12 whales on our trip! Some of which were within 30 yards from the boat. Amazing!

What an amazing day, will remember forever. The entire crew were fantastic, going all the extra miles, literally, to make our day. Multiple humpback whales including Tongs and Quote, ocean sunfish, and an incredible pod of 100s of dolphins, both Atlantic white sides and Common! Highly recommend 7 Seas Whale Watch!!!!

We saw 33 humpback whales including a mother and calf! I got great video and pictures. They offer a voucher for a free whale watch if you dont see whales but most people see quite a few. We also saw dolphins. The whales were close. Keep in mind, seas can be rough sometimes but youre always in sight of shore. Its 45 min from dock to whales and you can still see land when at the refuge. If seasick take Dramamine or if its bad, reconsider. Ship has food, bathrooms and heated cabins. Dress with rain gear and in layers. Totally worth it and already planning to do another trip. Naturalists were great too!

I took my Fiancé out on this whale watch this past Saturday morning while we were visiting my parents in Massachusetts, were from Northern New York. It was her first time out on the ocean.I couldnt have asked for a better adventure, the company is very professional and the staff was/is both friendly and great. We got a chance to see many whales.At one point while the snack counter was slow, the woman working the stand came out and made sure my fiancé was seeing a whale we had come upon. An awesome moment, her seeing a whale in its natural habitat for the first time and the woman working the stand coming out and making sure she was seeing it.As I said, the staff was both friendly and great everyone enjoyed the trip, many happy faces. The boat was also at half capacity and the company/staff followed all Covid-19 protocols, a very safe trip.I look forward to taking my fiances grand children with us on our next whale watching adventure with 7 Seas.Thank you for the picture perfect Saturday morning, a memory that will last a lifetime. :)George Flynn

My first time out was August 14 th and it was an amazing experience the staff was great and the ride was amazing, they spoke about the history of the seaport as we left to head out to the ocean and we saw about 14 whales and a good amount of dolphins while out, I definitely recommend and I will be goi g on another watch with this company

This far exceeded my expectations! We saw 4 whales up close and some seals and a few whales off in the distance. Overall had a wonderful time! The boat wasnt overcrowded and everyone had a chance to get some amazing pictures! The head of the tour was also extremely informative and gave us great facts about the whales during our time. If back in the area we would definitely do this again!

Excellent service

It was awesome. Would definitely do it again

THIS WAS AN AMAZING EXCURSION!!!! THE CREW WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND MADE SURE WE GOT TO SEE THE WHALES!!!! WUD DO THIS AGAIN DEFINITELY!!!!

Really great time. Literally the only thing was that they made a point to say something to my boyfriend about how close he held our daughter to the railing meanwhile,a woman literally had her infant bent over the railing and there were atleast 4 to 6 kids running all over the deck.but we saw a ton of awesome things.seals,2 kinda of whales and dolphins. Regardless of how nice the weather,bring warm clothes! Really fun

Great crew saw lots of whales and very informative

We were the only boat out of Gloucester during our visit to see whales. I highly recommend!! It was a truly amazing experienceand the staff are all extremely friendly and knowledgeable!

We love 7 seas whale watching they are the best place to go. We have done this several times with them and always had good time and always see several whales.

Our captain went the extra mile or two for us to appreciate more whale interaction. The bathroom were really clean.

Staff was well informed. Reasonably priced AND we saw a LOT of whales

Best whale watch around! Clean boat, friendly knowledgable crew!

I cant wait to go back out to see so many whales like I finally got the chance to go on my very first whale watch for the first time in my life. I wanted to go since I was little girl and I went out with them and its been 10 years and I only want to go back with 7 Seas whale watch.

I couldnt see the whale but crew said bcoz of froggy whale didnt come out and none of other ship people didnt whale on that day..but they give n pass valid for one year n recheck in again tats very good.

Love the people that operate this, I think 7 Seas I one of the best, 2nd time with them, never disappoints,

Great experience, great staff, awesome accomodations for covid. Will be returning sooner than later.

Great place great people a must do

Cool experience if the whales decide they want to be seen. On board food and snacks are a little over priced. If whales arent seen, you will offered a rain check for another time because they offer a guarantee on whale sightings

Holy Moly, saw a bunch of whales today! Beautiful weather and knowledgeable commentary from the tour guide. Highly recommend!

First time out on sea and whàle watching it was great I lived it seen dolphins too it a was amazing

Saw tons of whales and dolphines. Was a great tour

I had a great experience on 7 Seas Whale Watch. The tour guide was entertaining, the boat ride was fun, and the whales were wonderful.

We had such a great time. We saw so many whales!

This was an incredible experience and we will DEFINITELY do this again! We couldnt have asked for a better day weather wise and only had to travel about 30 minutes out in order to find the whales! I was impressed by the naturalists knowledge and the captain went above an beyond to allow us to experience the best views of these incredible animals! I highly recommend 7 Seas Whale Watch!

The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Clean boat and facilities. Explained some history and areas where we were going. Only issue is it isnt long enough for me!! We had so much fun!!!

An attendant and knowledgeable staff make this an amazing experience for all.

Great crew, boat! And the whales cooperated saw minke and humpbacks!

Great experience, staff was super helpful and friendly

The BEST Whale Watch company in Massachusetts. I highly recommend them, you will not be disappointed.

We went out August 30,2019 1:30pm we saw 28 whales. We also saw about 12 white belly dolphins in one sighting.

Loved it!! Not to crowded, lady was great looking out for us so we didnt miss whales, and dolphins! Had a great trip!

Thanks to 7 Seas Whale Watch, whale watching will become our new annual tradition. The crew were excellent: professional, courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. We saw 12 individual humpback whales, minke whales, many dolphins and seals, all in their natural habitat in one afternoon. Its very exciting and unforgettable. I would recommend making the trip to Gloucester and seeing these incredible beauties of nature with 7 Seas.

Informational and fun ! First whale watching ever and loved the experience. The guided tour was very much informational. Even the receptionist was very cooperative and helpful in helping us in clearing an issue happened during online booking
