Today’s whale-watching trip off the Jersey Shore was nothing short of spectacular. We set off from the Belmar Marina aboard the New Jersey Girl, a magnificent 125-foot vessel designed for speed and comfort with its two deck levels providing ample viewing space. Our destination was just two miles off the coast of Sandy Hook National Park beach, where we had an unforgettable encounter with one of nature’s most magnificent creatures: the humpback whale.
As we cruised past the charming towns of Asbury Park, Deal, Long Branch, Belmar, and Avon-by-the-Sea, anticipation built among the 80+ passengers on board. Everyone was eager to catch a glimpse of the marine life that the New Jersey waters have to offer. And we were not disappointed.
The sighting of the humpback whale was nothing short of thrilling. The whale was exceptionally active, breaching and tail-slapping, much to the delight of everyone on board. Cameras clicked furiously, and the air was filled with the sounds of awe and excitement. It was a remarkable experience, made all the more special by the proximity to the shore. Who would have thought that such a magnificent display could be witnessed so close to home?
Jersey Shore Whale Watch boasts an impressive 98% success rate in spotting humpback whales, and today was no exception. This week alone, we have seen multiple whales every day, along with playful dolphins. As summer progresses, we look forward to sightings of sharks, sea turtles, and even the occasional sunfish. It’s an adventure that promises to be full of surprises and unforgettable moments.
For those considering a whale-watching trip, there’s no need to travel all the way to Cape Cod or Bar Harbor, Maine. The New York and New Jersey area offers incredible opportunities to see these majestic creatures. Our tours leave from Belmar, New Jersey, making it convenient for anyone on the East Coast to join us for a day of marine adventure.
Today’s trip, on Memorial Day Saturday, May 25, was another testament to the extraordinary experiences we offer. The New Jersey Girl, with its speed and comfort, ensures that our passengers have the best possible experience. The boat’s two-deck levels provide ample space for everyone to enjoy unobstructed views of the whales and other marine life.
