Yes, New Jersey Has Incredible Whale Watching
Many people are surprised to learn that some of the most exciting whale watching on the East Coast happens right here in New Jersey.
Our waters are rich with bait, and where the food goes, the whales follow.
Whales are wild animals, and they move daily based on where the fish are. Some days we can find whales
just a half mile from the dock. Other days it may take us
30 minutes or more to reach the area where they are actively feeding.
That is part of what makes every trip real, exciting, and different. We are not following a script. We are tracking nature
in real time and giving guests a genuine chance to witness whales where they actually live and feed.
Why Guests Say We’re the Best
Ride aboard the Jersey Girl, a large, stable vessel with room to move, comfortable seating, bathrooms, snack bar service, and indoor and outdoor viewing areas.
Our crew knows these waters, understands marine wildlife, and helps guests enjoy the trip whether they are first-timers or longtime whale watchers.
Every trip is built around finding wildlife, not just taking a ride. Depending on the day, guests may see humpback whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and more.
Belmar, New Jersey is an easy drive from much of New Jersey, New York, and eastern Pennsylvania, making this an ideal East Coast whale watching destination.
This Isn’t Just a Boat Ride
Whale watching with Jersey Shore Whale Watch is about excitement, anticipation, and the moment everyone rushes to the rail
when a whale surfaces. It is the ocean breeze, the open Atlantic, the energy on the boat, and the thrill of seeing something
wild and enormous appear in front of you.
Some trips bring action fast. Other days require a little more searching. That is the nature of true whale watching, and it is exactly
why people come back again and again.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far out do you go to find whales?
It depends entirely on where the wildlife is feeding that day. Sometimes whales may be found only a half mile from the dock.
Other days we may run 20 to 30 minutes to get to the best activity. Fish move, and whales move with them.
Why does the whale location change?
Whales are wild animals tracking food in real time. If schools of bait fish shift, whales may shift too. That is why no two trips
are ever exactly the same.
Is this really one of the best whale watching tours on the East Coast?
We believe our guest reviews speak for themselves. A 4.8-star Google rating with 2,425+ reviews is exceptional by any standard,
and it reflects the quality of the boat, the crew, and the overall experience we provide.
What if we do not see a whale?
We offer a whale sighting guarantee, giving guests added confidence when they book. We work hard to locate wildlife on every trip,
because that is what we are known for.
