What better way to spend a Saturday but on the ocean and celebrate Earth Day! As part of the celebration, each adventurer on the Jersey Girl receive a whale watching t shirt. It was a large group of adventures, ready for an exciting time. Most people had not seen a whale before even though they tried in place like California and Hawaii. Well, that changed today!
We exited the inlet and headed north. Passed Asbury Park, Deal, Long Branch, Sea Bright and onto Sandy Hook. Along the way, saw some dolphins and slowed to watch them for awhile. Also saw some type of kite demonstration/competition. The best part was yet to come: there was a spout. Didn’t get to see it’s flukes but the entire boat got to see this whale. as many times when we thought he would surface in one area, he was in a different area. So if you were in the front, back, right or left, it didn’t matter! Eventually, it was time to leave our whale as we waved good bye or should I say, until next time! On the way back to port, saw more dolphins who then enjoyed riding the waves at the back of the boat. Had 2 birthday celebrations on board today! Such a great day at the Jersey Shore on the Jersey Girl

There was a humpback whale breaching about a 1.5 miles of the Belmar Beach around 16th Ave. last night. Whale watching season in New Jersey runs from April thru the beginning of December . This is the view from the boardwalk come out with us on the Jersey Girl whale watching boat to see it up close.

Get tickets today

Here are the photos from last night

Spent the afternoon on the water. Yes, it is whale watching time again! It has been a little over 4 months since the last whale watching trip. Today was opening day: the first trip of the year with Jersey Shore Whale Watch. It was a great crowd and the anticipation was high. Many of the people had never seen a whale before and if they did, they saw it in Hawaii. Although the sky was mostly clear, the winds were from the east causing some rough seas. Started off heading north to Asbury Park and then went south. Saw fish on the fish finder and was hoping a whale would be around. We tried finding the whales but unfortunately, it was not meant to be. The good news, everyone comes back for free. Got to talk to people from Philly, northern Jersey and even from Germany. I sure wish we would have found some whales.

Monday update whales were spotted breaching this morning in Bay Head NJ k=just 2 miles from where we were.

We will be on the new boat next week.
