Jersey Girl is one of the newest and fastest boats in Belmar Marina—powered by three brand-new Tier 3, environmentally friendly Scania engines (Swedish-built) for a smooth, comfortable ride on the Atlantic. 1800hp Will provide a smooth fast ride out to the whales or out to wherever you’d like us to take you

Furuno Radar & Navigation

Jersey Girl is equipped with Furuno marine radar—a leading name in commercial-grade marine navigation known for clear target presentation and advanced safety technology. Our Furuno system supports long-range scanning (model dependent) and features like Bird Mode, which can help reveal bird activity working over bait at the surface—often a clue to where life is concentrated offshore.

In addition to clarity, Furuno’s Doppler radar technology is designed to improve situational awareness by highlighting moving targets and supporting fast target tracking—an important part of running safe, professional trips along the coast.

With two levels, indoor and outdoor seating, VIP deck space, indoor bathrooms, and a snack bar, Jersey Girl is built for unforgettable days on the water. At approximately 110 feet long and 25 feet wide, she’s a true state-of-the-art passenger vessel, fully upgraded with new engines, transmissions, and power systems in winter 2026.

Jersey Girl accommodates up to 135 guests per trip. For larger groups, we can coordinate multiple boats and have hosted outings with up to 300 summer campers at a time.

Join us for whale watching (300+ trips a year), dolphin tours, school trips, and private charters—including birthday parties, sightseeing cruises, and fireworks trips.

About Your Trips

Jersey Girl is built for ocean travel, with the range and capability to run trips up and down the East Coast—backed by an experienced crew and one of the finest naturalists in the region.

If you’d like to book a private whale watching excursion for your company, family, or group, we’d love to help you plan it. You’re also welcome to join our public (open) whale watching trips, where you can simply choose a date and purchase tickets right here on our website.

Many guests tell us Jersey Girl is truly one of the most beautiful boats on the East Coast—and we look forward to welcoming you aboard.
