I’m too tired to write a review for the trip so her is Linda’s
It was a Gold Medal type of day! I was disappointed that I didn’t go whale watching yesterday because they saw breaching whales.
But today was the best! Saw dolphins and then continued on in search of a whale. Unbelievable! Saw 2 whales lunge feeding simultaneously! These whales looked larger than what I am use to seeing. Remember for each foot in length, there is a ton of weight. So a 35 foot whale weighs about 35 tons! How can they lunge and breach! They lunge fed numerous times. On some of the pictures you can see the fish around the whales and in their mouths. We saw Jerry! This whale was named Jerry because he was “found” on Jerry Garcia’s birthday! I think on the right side of his body are the marks of a propeller. He is doing fine. Today was perfect “10” and it clearly won a gold medal in synchronized lunge feeding.

I knew it was gonna be a special day when I saw the early morning sky what is sunrise go to the beach Belmar.

We left the shark River headed north past the crowded beaches of Avon by the Sea. GPS directions has really put the hidden little town of Avon, on the best beaches in NewJersey map

We then encountered a nice pod of dolphins off Monmouth beach, we didn’t want to stay long as we were looking for whales! Big whales

After observing the beautiful bottlenose dolphins we continue our journey north off of Sandy Hook about 3 to 4 miles offshore oh Sandy Hook beautiful waters NewJersey near the border of New York city. These wells really prefer to be in the waters off of New Jersey it’s just a beautiful site.

Here are a few photos of the beautiful pair of humpback wells we saw one much larger than the other I won’t care says to their ages.

Tuesday was a gorgeous day in the ocean it was nice breeze beautiful come motions conditions average size crowd for a weekday round 50 people it was just beautiful come out well watching with us we have the best guides you and your family will learn a lot about wells in about a Roshan‘s and about how the whales are coming back to New Jersey. It was fitting that today was national New Jersey day and we had a fantastic experience with two beautiful humpbacks at least 50 to 60 dolphins we also saw flying fish. #nationalnewjerseyday

A whale of a family affair today!

What an incredible, unique day we had!! We headed north past Asbury , Long Branch and Sandy Hook towards the New York Harbor. Great views of the NYC skyline! We passed dolphins on the way which is always fun, but it didn’t prepare us for what we were about to see. Just past Sandy Hook we came upon two whales, but not the usual juvenile males we see. This duo was actually a mother whale and her calf!! It was so amazing to watch the mother and baby surface side by side! The mother whale was teaching her calf how to lunge feed! It was such a special thing to witness. Truly once on a lifetime experience! As a matter of fact, while seeing whales off the Jersey Shore is common, seeing a mother and calf in these waters is pretty rare. Through our partnership with Gotham Whale we hope to identify this mother whale and learn more about her and her travels. We had perfect weather, perfect ocean conditions and an amazing experience watching this family of whales! This family was spotted earlier this week but we don’t know how long they will be staying around. Don’t wait any longer to book your trip!! Bring your family, bring your friends, whale watching is something everyone enjoys! We promise you will have a great time and we also guarantee you’ll see a whale or you come back for free!
Don’t miss out, book your trip today!

Jersey Shore Whale Watching

Very short trip review I wasn’t on the trip Wednesday I took a much-needed day off seven days a week we are watching is a lot and I just needed to do some personal stuff around the house LOL anyway here it is

We left Belmar went along the shark river heading north towards Asbury park and we went about 4 miles off the coast of Monmouth Beach and saw two whales frolicking in the water. Danielle our lead naturalist thinks it was possibly a mother and her calf it wasn’t like a small calf so if it was mother and gift delivered bigger than the average calf she got some great photos I’ll get some more of them hopefully today like I said it was a little trip. The trip was lightly attended because it was forecast for rains which really only appeared on the way back to the dock so everyone had a great time they saw two whales dolphins and there was only about 40 people in the boat which is not a lot of people.

If you were on the trip we would love your review.

Today’s whale watching trip was much like Monday’s trip we kind of went along the same route up the coast north towards Seabright we saw dolphins and whale along the way. The water conditions on the ocean was perfect a flat calm day on the ocean.Visibility was a little challenging for us to spots whales as the haze from the Canadian forest fires made seeing more than 1.5 miles tough.Monday visibility was perfect over 5 miles so when using high powered binoculars to spot the whales, the Smokey haze made it tough but we still found a very active humpback whale. I will post photos from the trip shortly. Bill

The luxury yatch helped us spot the whale he slowed down in the distance we could see until he was past the whale and then continued with his powerful jet motor engines

We had a gorgeous day on the ocean today. We found over 100 dolphins that were swimming all around the boat and jumping up into the air. They were incredibly active and gave us a spectacular show! After enjoying the wild dolphin show, we headed north to the top of Sandy Hook. On our journey we found many seabirds including Wilson’s Storm-Petrel. We had an incredible view of the NYC skyline, but we did not find any whales. They are wild animals and we never know exactly where they will be. It was a 20 mile round trip looking for whales, but no luck today. Even though we didn’t find any whales today, everyone still had a great time. The ocean water was beautiful, the cool air was refreshing and the dolphins were so much fun to watch. No one was disappointed, especially since all passengers receive a free return trip from Jersey Shore Whale Watch. We look forward to welcoming them back again this season at no charge. We look forward to welcoming you, as well! It’s a great activity for a group of friends or for a fun family outing. All our naturalists are experts in the field and love sharing their knowledge of humpback whales, dolphins and other marine life we see on our cruises. We have an air conditioned cabin, large upper deck, snack bar and plenty of fresh ocean air to breathe! Feel free to bring your own coolers and drinks (adult drinks are allowed) and snacks as well. Don’t wait any longer! Book your trip with us today, we promise you will have a great time!!

Wilson’s Storm-Petrel
Oceanites oceanicus Despite its small size and seemingly weak flight, this bird is at home on the roughest of seas, flying in the troughs of the waves during gales. It also travels huge distances — from the Antarctic to the edge of the Arctic. Although it nests only in far southern oceans, Wilson’s Storm-Petrel is often the most common seabird off the Atlantic Coast of the United States.we find these birds following whales all the time.

We had many birding enthusiasts on our trip today, we will be running some pelagic tours, sign up for our newsletter.

We had a great afternoon plenty of sunshine and some cloud cover to make photographing all the dolphins and whales easier. We went north today from the BELMAR Marina toward Monmouth beach.we got the the area of Monmouth beach and saw over 75 dolphins playing in the wake of the whale watching boat. Once we go to sea bright beach area near the beach clubs we saw a whales lunge feeding and showing it’s tail. We really enjoyed the Sunday on the ocean.join us soon for mor fun on jersey shore whale Watch.
Our big boats have easy access for those in a wheelchair we have no problem getting anyone up or down our boat ramps at the Belmar marina.

Whale watching is great family fun and very educational as we have 100% fully guided whale watching tours led by some of the best naturalist in the country.
The sight of a whale showing its tail with New York City in the background is a photograph I will cherish.Come out soon on jersey shore whale Watch and make your own family memories. Any questions call us [email protected] call or text me at 732.451.6003 Thanks Bill McKim
