Jersey Shore Whale Watch Tour 2022 Season
We guarantee you will see a whale
Passenger Linda write our review today:
With a storm coming in for the late afternoon/evening, I wondered what type of whale watching day it would be. Well the water was rougher than yesterday but it was okay and at times like a ride on a small roller coaster. The kids on the boat were having a great time! First some dolphins were seen but we kept going north. Then we saw another pod but in a little bit we headed north. Found whale # 267 from yesterday. He has a mostly white tail. He decided to do some tail throwing and also gave us a lot of stinky whale breathe. After a while, there was a whale to the north and off we went. We were a distance away and you could see it breaching/lunge feeding . Once nearby, we’re were treated to some spectacular lunge feeding. That was so cool and amazing. A little boy next to me, who told be he never saw a whale, was speechless when he saw the whale. He just kept pointing to the whale and said “ooh, ooh, ooh I
On the way back we saw 2 dolphin pods and I was at the back of the boat. The dolphins were riding the waves and having a blast! I was very excited to see this! Back to the dock but when we were near the inlet, it started raining pretty hard. Even the rain could not bit a damper on this terrific whale watching and dolphin day!
4 whales today here is passenger Sandy’s report:
We watched one whale off of Long Branch for a long time today. It was so close to shore that it didn’t do much. No tail or anything. At one point we were waiting for it to surface and it came up quite a distance away. Then we saw another smaller whale closer to the boat. The bait fish were jumping like crazy as that whale swam through them. Trish said it was a minke whale. They are faster than humpbacks. After we went back to the first whale for a short time we headed back south. As we were coming close to Asbury Park we saw another blow right in front of us. We found our 3rd whale. It was also close to shore. At one point it swam under the bow, right in front of me. AND finally it did a deep dive and we got to see its tail. We watched for it one more time. Got another tail shot before we had to head back home. It was a beautiful day on the water. So unexpectedly calm after the 8-10 ft waves we had yesterday.
As per Linda
On a beautiful day, you go whale watching. Today Sandy spotted the whale first!!!! It was off of Long Branch. This whale would hang out a lot on the surface and then do a deeper dive. Hanging near the surface allowed for viewing the pectoral flippers that seem to glow a beon green under the water but they are white. His tail is unique so they should easily be able to identify it. Stayed with the whale but then it was time to leave him alone. Looked for other mammals but no luck. Passed by Asbury Park and the music festival. Able to hear the music in our boat! After that, back to the dock. There were many birthday celebrations aboard the boat as well as the RU female gymnastics team. We all got to see a whale and have a whale of a good time!

Once again, many first time whale watching passengers who says that they never knew whales were in the NJ area. Well, now they know! We went north out of the inlet and kept heading north towards the Highlands and Sandy Hook. Sure enough, first one whale and then another on opposite sides of the boat. They met up for a little bit and then went their own way. We stayed on the one that was away from the shore and it was # 16 which was last seen on Saturday’s trip. Learned that he had been in the Canadian feeding grounds in the past. He was moving more quickly today than Saturday and we witnessed one lunge feed. Then it was time to head back and as we were already past Long Branch, there was another whale! Saw him a few times and then continued on as we needed to catch the bridge and we already had an extra 1/2 hour. No dolphins on this whale watch but on the dolphin watch in the morning there were dolphins and a whale. It is amazing how on each trip, when we see a whale, the passengers all let out ohs and ahs. At the end of the trip, when Danielle asks who saw a humpback whale, besides a verbal response, the passengers clap! It was another fun day and hopefully about 2 more months of whale watching ahead as the whales start to migrate south.
