Another great day whale watching we saw 3 Humpback whales on the trip we were just 2-3 off the coast of Asbury Park and Long Branch nj. Join us soon. Whale watching season is peak season right now.
Every year thousands of humpbacks travel along the east coast. We follow them
We follow them for a few months each year. Each year in late summer to mid fall, whales all types of whales head south to the warm Caribbean waters. We will take you out to see for yourself the giants of the sea.The sounds they make blowing or slapping their fins is something you won’t forget. Join us soon on a 3 hour whale watching trip,it’s great family fun. We do socially distance people so make sure to book early as most trips sellout due to reduced capacity.
whale watching trip 4 whales!
Wednesday was a great trip. We started with a Minke whale these whales are the smallest of the big whales and are very fast and difficult to photograph Here are a couple images of the Minke whale we saw off Asbury Park Wednesday
Below is a Minke whale off the coast of New Jersey
The minke whales are the second smallest baleen whale; only the pygmy right whale is smaller. Upon reaching sexual maturity (6–8 years of age), males measure an average of 6.9 m (23 ft) and females 8 m (26 ft) in length, respectively. Reported maximum lengths vary from 9.1 to 10.7 m (30 to 35 ft) for females and 8.8 to 9.8 m (29 to 32 ft) for males. Both sexes typically weigh 4–5 t (3.9–4.9 long tons; 4.4–5.5 short tons) at sexual maturity, and the maximum weight may be as much as 10 t (9.8 long tons; 11 short tons).
The minke whale is a black/gray/purple color.[clarification needed] Common minke whales (Northern Hemisphere variety) are distinguished from other whales by a white band on each flipper. The body is usually black or dark-gray above and white underneath. Minke whales in New Jersey have between 240 and 360 baleen plates on each side of their mouths. Most of the length of the back, including dorsal fin and blowholes, appears at once when the whale surfaces to breathe.
Minke whales typically live for 30–50 years; in some cases they may live for up to 60 years.
Whale watching trip review
Saturday was a great trip. It Mickey where was Budd within the first 20 minutes of the trip off of Asbury Park deal beach area. Everyone loves seeing the Minkey Whales and there was tons of bait fish around the area. We then continued north and spotted at least three different humpback whales . Bill was not on the trip so we don’t have as many photos. Bill was photographing a wedding Saturday so he wasn’t able to be with us but here are some photos taken by some of the customers on the boat the first few are from our friend and who some of you have met selling shirts at the boat.
