**Embark on an Unforgettable Whale Watching Adventure with Jersey Shore Whale Watch**
Sometimes, you just have to seize the moment, and that’s exactly what we did on Thursday, June 20. At 12:30 PM, we embarked on a whale watching adventure that turned out to be one of the most memorable trips ever. The previous night, we had heard reports of around 100 whales spotted between Little Italy and further out towards the Triple Wrecks—an area we’ve visited many times. Though typically an 18-hour round trip, we decided to venture into this new location, hoping for an incredible experience.
Leaving Belmar, New Jersey, we set our sights on Little Italy, an area about an hour and a half away. The decision proved to be worthwhile. Within just half an hour of arriving, we encountered a very active humpback whale in the crystal-clear blue waters off the coast of New Jersey. It was truly awe-inspiring to be only 25 miles east of Belmar and Manasquan Beach, yet feel like we were in the Caribbean. The water was exceptionally clear and beautiful, making for stunning photos that all passengers loved.
The weather was absolutely perfect. We started the day in the hot beach weather of Belmar, and as we moved out to the ocean, it became refreshingly cool. Amazingly, 24 miles offshore, the ocean temperature was a warm 71°F, which was considerably warmer than onshore. This range of temperatures added to the thrill of the day, and everyone on board was delighted by the fantastic conditions.
Our planned three-hour trip extended to 4.5 hours, thanks to our dedicated crew who ensured everyone had the thrill of a lifetime. The trip was filled with excitement and lifelong memories, especially for the many regular passengers and first-timers who were thrilled to see their first humpback whale. In addition to the humpback, we also spotted a minke whale, making the day even more special.
As we returned home, it was clear that this season has been incredible for whale sightings. At Jersey Shore Whale Watch, we offer daily trips from Belmar, New Jersey, on our boat, the Jersey Girl. We are the only ones running whale watching tours seven days a week, providing multiple times each day. Each trip is narrated by working scientists in the field, with marine biology interns onboard to explain everything to the passengers. This makes for a fantastic and educational experience that we are proud to offer.
If you haven’t yet experienced the magic of whale watching with us, now is the time. The sight of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat is truly unforgettable. Join us at Jersey Shore Whale Watch and embark on an adventure that combines the beauty of nature, the thrill of discovery, and the joy of learning.
