We offer a unique promise: if you don’t spot a whale on your trip, we provide a free return trip within the same calendar year. For trips after October 15th, if no whales are seen, you’re welcome to try again the following spring. All free ticket orders are subject to a $20 booking fee per order, not per ticket.
Most of our whale-watching excursions start from the marina in Belmar, New Jersey. Our boats are ideally situated, often encountering whales just three minutes from the marina inlet. We’re proud to be the closest whale-watching tour to New Jersey’s whales, offering an exciting experience for your family.

We cannot guarantee that we will see whales on every tour. With a sightings success rate of over 95%, it is highly likely that you will see a whale. But, if this isn’t the case, don’t worry! We will get you out on another tour, whenever is most convenient for you. Our guarantee is offered year-round
