You can now rent Binoculars on the boat in advance!

September 11, 2019 //  by billmckim//  Leave a Comment

You can now rent Binoculars on the boat in advance! Jersey shore whale watch guarantees whale sightings!
You are now able to rent at a great price binoculars for the day of your whale watching trip the price is very good, $5 for childrens and $8 for adults!

Whale watching with binoculars, especially from a boat, requires a lot of stability. Additionally, the distance you need to maintain from these majestic animals means that you need a long focal length with a wide, crystal clear field of view.

Most tour operators have strict guidelines to follow when approaching whales and they need to stay a certain acceptable distance away from the whales for obvious reasons.

So when you choose a pair of binoculars we need to bear a few simple things in mind. Lookout for weatherproof capabilities, weight, magnification and ease of use on a boat.

We guarantee you will see a whale!

July 10, 2019 //  by billmckim//  Leave a Comment

Brand new program starting July 2019!

The Jersey Shore Whale watch is the only whale watching boat that we know of to offer whale Checks. A whale check is our guarantee and commitment to you. If you come out on a paid trip with us and we are unable to see any whales, you will get to come back this season for free to have another opportunity to see them. While we do see whales very often (Over 96% of the time), we sometimes get unlucky, and that is why we came up with whale checks to truly guarantee our customers a chance at seeing a whale.We wgo even further in 2020 if we need to extend the trip to find the whale we will, only once in 2020 have we not seen a whale!

Our trips along the coastline of New Jersey are educational and a relaxing day on the ocean. See you soon, any questions call us at 732.451.6003
