It’s finally here! Our OFFSHORE WRECK WHALE WATCHING ADVENTURE! This will be an EXCLUSIVE 12-hour trip 50-60 miles offshore to search for migrating humpback, finback, and minke whales! We will also be looking for bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins, pilot whales, pelagic birds, and who knows what else! We are limiting this trip to only 30 people so get your tickets now before it sells out!
We are SO excited for our 12-hour offshore trip on October 19th!
If you are joining us, expect to see a beautiful sunrise as we make our way east towards the Triple Wrecks. You will have plenty of room to relax as our three experienced observers search the waters to find you some of the largest whales in the North Atlantic. Large schools of dolphins, jumping tuna, diving birds, and sea turtles are all commonly seen on these trips. Here are some photos of the marine animals we hope to find!
about the boat
The Queen Mary is an 85’ Gulf Craft saltwater fishing boat fully restored in 2017. It features a huge cabin with ample covered seating and tables, we will socially distance our time inside, as well as plenty of room on 2 decks. She is licensed and approved for up to 95 passengers, so space certainly isn’t an issue! The Queen Mary has a large top deck to view the action or just relax and enjoy the scenery.
Though we emphasize the whales, our trips focus on all sea life. We take time for birds, dolphins, sea turtles, fish, and anything else that we find of interest at sea. On each trip there are enough leaders for the group size. Leaders are chosen not only for their whale/ pelagic experience, but also for their abilities to help you with spotting and identifying the life forms that are found. Remember, you are one of many, if you have a question for a leader, don’t be shy, ask them, and stick close to them for identification assistance.
Thank you, and I hope to see you aboard! I can’t wait -Bill
Danielle Marie Brown Will be leading our tour
yes on bringing face masks in case we need to be inside the boat cabin at some point, rain or shine, but it will be the captain’s call on safe water conditions.

12 Hour Off Shore Whale Wat… https://billmckim.com/products/12-hour-off-shore-whale-watching-adventure
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.
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.
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.
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.

We had a great whale watching trip nice group of people. We saw whales off of Deal New Jersey two of them I will post a few photos that our naturalist took on the trip. i WAS CELEBRATING A BIG 18TH BIRTHDAY OF OUR SONS IN Hoboken.We had a 94 year old whale watching fan that was able to climb and wanted to onto the 2nd floor deck to view the whales!. No excuses just do it! 2 great months of whale watching season ahead of us get your friends togeter and plan a day on the ocean. Our whale watching trips are 3 hours long.Please support us with your tshirt purchases at the boat.
We had a another great trip up to Sandy Hook beach area to see a humpback whale with the skyline of New York City in the background. A great day for everyone.We have 4 trips this coming week.
Whale watching report Aug 28th Belmar Sandy Hook
Today Friday it took us a while to find the whale, We started by searing the water off Spring Lake beach but we could not find the whale so we headed north.
we added an hour to the trip, We were able to find a whale off the coast of Sandy Hook National Park with New York City in the background.
Here are a few photos from today’s trip, We got back to the dock in pouring rain lol. The rain did not start until we were almost back to Belmar Marina.
We were all excited to see a Finback whale on our trip. Danielle our naturalist had been talking for days about 2 Finback whales being off the coast of Sandy Hook. we found it Wednesday.The families on the boat went crazy see to humpback whales come close to the boat and then we saw the finback whale and we observed it just swimming along. The whale is so huge it did not fit in my cameras view here are some of the photos i took. Join us soon the trips get better as we head towards fall whale migration season.
The fin whale is the second largest animal to ever live, in the entire history of Earth. Reaching lengths of at least 85 feet (26 m) and weights of 80 tons, this species is second only to its close relative, the blue whale. Their incredible size is only possible because of their aquatic lifestyles and the buoyancy provided by seawater. On land, an animal as large as the fin whale would almost certainly be crushed under its own weight.
We have done over 80 trips this was our first Finback whale sighting! all the otther trips have been Humpback whales and some Minke whales
Sunday whale watching review Belmar 8/23
Humpback whales eat up to 3,000 pounds of food a day. Protect these whales and other marine mammals in U.S. waters by supporting the Marine Mammal Protection Act: bit.ly/32kmySu
We used all our time searching for the whale and finally found him at 4pm. Capt. Alan was gracoius enough to extend our trip by 45 mins so we could spend that time observing and photographing the whale our group was thrilled to see a whale as most people thought we werent going to see 
September and October are amazing months to go whale watching we see the most whales during these months and the boat is less crowed, we do use social distancing on the boat.
So Wednesday’s trip was interesting, the morning started with pouring rain possible tornado up near red Bank really dark skies for about an hour. The Jersey shore whale watch phone was ringing off the hook with people asking if their trip was on or off or we going what are we doing. Long story short the skies cleared we all met at the marina in the lightest of a drizzle we got onto the boat the skies continue to clear and we had the most perfect day on the ocean flat season one got sick just a great day too beautiful Wells off of Monmouth County and people were thrilled to be out and enjoy something they’ve never seen Wells frolicking in the ocean on a perfect August day come out and join us soon we have plenty of trips scheduled including this weekend we leave from Belmar we have some trips also from point Pleasant we run the best and safest we are watching trip in New Jersey we guarantee will see you a whale.
We will have an experienced naturalist on-board to explain everything that you are seeing. For more information, you can call the office at 732.451.6003 or buy online, you are always allowed to change your date for any reason.We are easy to deal with, and We guarantee you will see a whale on our trip, or your next trip is free.
whale watching report 8/12/2020
Well today was interesting all of a sudden it started pouring rain in Monmouth county for 1 hour but we were able to have a nice day whale watching after the rain.We did not get rain on, some people rescheduled to future dates but for many this was there day and they wanted to go so when the captain said it was safe We only left the dock 20 mins late!
We had some children all related on the boat and we let them throw fish bait to the seagulls, they loved it !
A whale louse is a commensal crustacean of the family Cyamidae. Despite the name, they are not true lice (which are insects), but rather are related to the skeleton shrimp, most species of which are found in shallower waters. Whale lice are external parasites, found in skin lesions, genital folds, nostrils and eyes of marine mammals of the order Cetacea. These include not only whales but also dolphins and porpoises
Most species of whale lice are associated with a single species of whale. They remain with their host throughout their development and do not experience a free-swimming phase.[1] Although the relationship between a specific species of whale louse and a specific species of whale is more pronounced with baleen whales than with toothed whales, almost every species of whale has a louse species that is unique to it. With the sperm whale, the parasitic relationship is sex-specific. The whale louse Cyamus catodontis lives exclusively on the skin of the male, while Neocyamus physeteris is found only on females and calves.[2]
Whale lice attach themselves to the host body in places that protect them from water currents, so they can be found in natural body openings and in wounds; with baleen whales they are found primarily on the head and in the ventral pleats. Around 7,500 whale lice live on a single whale.[3]
With some species of whale lice, whale barnacle infestations play an important role. On the right whale, the parasites live mainly on callosities (raised callus-like patches of skin on the whales’ heads). The clusters of white lice contrast with the dark skin of the whale, and help researchers identify individual whales because of the lice clusters’ unique shapes.
The lice predominantly eat algae that settle on the host’s body. They usually feed off the flaking skin of the host and frequent wounds or open areas. They cause minor skin damage, but this does not lead to significant illness.
The development of the whale louse is closely connected with the life pattern of whales. The distribution of various lice species reflects migratory patterns.
We go whale watching in New Jersey from April till November, the best months for whale watching on the Jersey Shore.Whales follow the bunker fish and they are now plentiful in our area, join us bring your camera or cellphone, you will get great photos.
Spectacular Marine Wildlife On View For The Lucky Few

Jersey Shore Whale watch is the leader in whale watching at the Jersey Shore.
A lot of people ask the question who has the best, best whale watching east coast. I wiould say we are right near the top with over 80 trips and we usually see one or more whales in fact our record is over 80 trips and only 4 misses in 3 years so we ahace a pretty good idea. The whales are sometimes hard to spot in choppy seas or on a foggy day. We also rely on uour vast array of boat friends who might spot a whale and then tell us where they are. Fishermna seem happy to help whale watching boats as we are not competion for each other. Boats captains always return the favor to each other of all kinds of marine sights and fishing tips!
Join us whale watching we go just a couple miles off shore to where we expect to see the whales. Our trips are 3 hours long and are designed to give us enough time to spot the whales
SO get your family or group together and join us we even have many people that come alone on our trips! Bring your sunscreen and camera dress in layers, the ocean is cooler than inland! Any questions call us at 732.451.6003 so yes you can see whales in New Jersey and New York, join us best whale watching east coast Jersey Shore Whale watch

Coney Island, Amagansett, The Hamptons, Fire Island, Jones Beach, Rockaways, Sandy Hook, Long Beach Island, Lavallette and Point Pleasant Beach are not the only places to see whales, of course.
Despite what ANY whale watch company may claim, you can never really guarantee how many whales will be seen, or even if any whales will be seen, when you go whale watching. We can guarantee a free return ticket (aka “rain check”) if you don’t see a whale, but you can’t guarantee the whales themselves.
That being said, the extremely high productivity of the Jersey Shore coastline area means that whales are usually here, often in good numbers, sometimes and that’s why we have seen whales (at least 1) on over 99% of our trips since 2018. In fact w sometimes we go years without “skunking” (a “skunk” is whale watch industry slang for a trip in which no whales were seen). Most of the time we “skunk” it is due to fog rather than lack of whales (it’s hard to find whales when you can’t see!)
So while it is impossible to say for certain how many individual whales you will see when you go whale watching the most likely answer to this question is: probably between 1 and 5. Pretty vague, huh? Well, that’s because these animals are WILD. They are not captive creatures in the confines of a zoo or aquarium, and they certainly don’t perform tricks for our amusement.
These whales are wild animals that come here to feed in the biologically rich waters the New York Bight. Their abundance is determined by the amount of food available to them. At times (many times, actually) there are so many whales in the area that we can’t possibly visit with them all in the limited time we have on the water. But at other times it takes cooperation between all whale watch boats and fishing boats in the area to find just one or two whales. We never know what we will see when we leave the dock but that’s part of the fun of whale watching! It is unscripted and unpredictable.
Okay, so if we can’t predict exactly how many whales we will see, how about the best time to go look? When is that?
Well, once again it is impossible to say what time of day, or even what time of the year is best to go whale watching because the answer to that question also changes based on the amount of food (ie small schooling fish) available to the whales.
But before we get too hung-up on the total number of whales we might see, consider these questions: If whales had not been hunted to the brink of extinction would they be the iconic symbol of endangered wildlife that they are today?
I suspect not. Remember that these whales are endangered! Their numbers are only a small fraction of what existed in the pre-whaling era. One of the most exciting things about seeing a wild whale is simply encountering an animal which still teeters on the brink of extinction. It is estimated that less than 1% of people living on planet Earth will see a whale in their lifetime. Therefore, any time you see a whale, even one whale, you are truly privileged. To see many whales at one time, as we often do, is a sight VERY few people will ever get a chance to see.
We have the most experienced whale watching staff, they don’t just explain whales and talk about the great history of our lovely area, they are also very knowledgeable about your safety, our vessel is rated the #1 safest whale watching vessel Jersey Shore , make this the highlight of your summer, take a beautiful ride around the Jersey Shore coastline take a tour with us.
Jersey Shore is one of the most spectacular whale watching places in the world. Many different species of whales can be seen here including the Minke, Humpbacks, and the occasional North American Right Whale . Feeding on bunker, Krill and Squid along the coast between April and November, you can catch a glimpse of majestic mammals breaching the surface of the water and playing along our shores.
In addition to our Spectacular Whales, be prepared to adventure alongside Bald Eagles, Diving Gannets, Gigantic Leatherback Turtles, Sea Loving Guillemots, Sensational Sunfish and much more!
If you dont see a whale you are welcome to come back for a free return trip! We have done over 80 trips and have only missed seeing a whale on 4 trips!
We go whale watching from the Belmar Marina , 4 times a week, We have the largest safest boat at the marina to get you to where the whales are feeding just off shore. Here are some photos from our trips. We include a free photo gallery link with every trip that our professional photographer takes, Bring your camera or cell phone whale watching is great photography.

A few people have been asking me about groupon deals this year so I figure i would write down my thoughts.
Groupon leads to bad sight lines on a boat by having too many people on board, the boat needs a certain amount of money for each trip I would rather have us all pay a few more dollars person and have less people on the boat and better sight lines for seeing the whales .
Crowded boats sell deals and groupons I do not use groupon deals as i want us all to have a safe enjoyable trip and i believe we price it fairly and we deliver.
We guarantee you will see a whale with us if you dont your next trip is free. We fill our boat with happy customers who tell their friends about the special day and safe relaxed atmosphere we provide on the ocean during these uncertain Covid 19 times We are all living in. Any questions call us at 732.451.6003
I think groupon is great for buying an item but not so great if its just going to lead to a full boat, less is more these days book now.

Here are some photos from our whale watching trip Belmar Marina July 26 2020 Belmar New Jersey Sandy Hook area
Full report in the morning but i felt like i was on an Alaskan Whale Watching Cruise today off Monmouth County
Sunday’s whale watching trip started out as just another normal trip on a beautiful day with a socially distanced crowd going whale watching. We headed north towards the report from earlier in the day of a whale about three or 4 miles off the coast of Monmouth Beach. We got to the area near Mount Beach, slowed down and indeed our naturalist and captain saw the spout of a whale. For 20 minutes we looked for the whale, which is an eternity when you’re on a boat. We didn’t see the whale really again, after the first two or three spouts a large dredge could come through the area and might’ve chased the whale out of the area, or to the surface on the other side of the dredge. We soon moved further north to try to find the first whale report when I saw a blow a short distance away. That was probably about 30-40 minutes into the trip, after that whale we saw a second whale and then myself and the captain saw a third whale distant behind the boat. We could see that the whale was breaching nonstop, but it was a good 2 miles away. As for the two whales closer to us, they were kind of interesting. One of them had a lot of sea lice on it, and Danielle, our naturalist, wanted to photograph it more to get its tail, but we kind of lost them. Then, we went out to the third whale, who put it on the greatest breaching show any of us had ever seen. The whale didn’t stop breaching, the entire time we were out there he must’ve breached 30 times! If there was ever a whale named after Michael Jordan, this would be the one.
One of the great things about taking people whale watching is hearing them experience when the blow is closer and make it and everybody in the boat seeing the whale. It’s amazing to hear them cheering and just in awe of nature, for most of them have never seen it before. This whale put on a show that none of us will ever probably see again, it was unbelievable, probably once-in-a-lifetime! 30 breaches all over the place, I have some fantastic photos to share with all of you, and they are below. Thanks, we hope to see you soon on Jersey Shore Whale Watch.
We go whale watching in Belmar New Jersey from the Belmar marina 3 days a week and sometimes more than that, we socially distance on the boat so we all stay safe. We have the largest whale watching boat in central New Jersey, with two full size bathrrom and an indoor cabin. our two outdoor bench style seating decks allow for the best views of the whales breaching and lunge feeding off the coast of new jersey.
Enjoy a leisurely guide 3 hour tour, fell free to bring your own food and beverage on board. Beer and wine are also allowed but no hard booze.
Our most popular is the 3 hour whale watch, either as a shared tour, or private tour for your family and friends. We also have a private extended 7 hour tour or “photo safari.” See the descriptions of both shared versus private options. callus at 732.4561.6003

Belmar whale watching trip review July 15 2020
Wednesday WAS ANOTHER GREAT DAY WHALE WATCHING THE WHALE WAS JUST 3 MILES OFF THE BEACH IN Asbury Park as we were going north toward the Sandy Hook area
Danielle, our amazing naturalist spotted the Humpback whale from about two miles away by seeing its 20-foot-high spout on the horizon. This trip is an amazing time to just get out in some real fresh ocean air and you can bring your own food and drink beer wine! We also saw a loggerhead sea turtle and spinner sharks, though they were so fast I could not photograph them and when we go closer to where they were they moved away quickly!
Summer is moving fast these days are a great book friends and family now we are absolutely social distance people on the boat, the boat also has a huge 2nd floor sun deck!

Here are two ways to get to belmar
Belmar Marina trips all summer long
The normality you feel while being outdoor on a warm summer day with the ocean breeze in your face helps you forget about the Covid 19 at least for a few hours, said one passenger yesterday aboard our whale watching trip
Humpback and Dolphin Love 🐋🐬❤️
Tail flukes, pectoral fin slaps, looks like he’s waving 👋 🐋 lunge feeding, missed that picture.
A pod of dolphins smiling as they bow in and out of the water 🐬🌊 gorgeous animals, so. much. fun.
We also saw many dolphins near the whale they were swimming together for a while

Bring your good camera, it wont get wet the boat is huge, but was also bring a camera bag to protect it while we are going to the whale watching area.
As you probably know, composition is key. That being said, photographing from above does not compliment the enormous whale. Shooting from the 2nd florr crows makes the whale appear smaller that if you stay on the boats deck so we recommend staying there. Which leads us to our next point
While being at the front might seem the most sensible thing to do, it’s also the most popular spot. But you’re out there to get in some amazing frames of the whales and you will need a little space to move around. Thus our photographer Bill Mckim recommends staying at the back of the right hand side on the boat. The captain will most often need to turn the boat so he sees the whale clearly for all safety, and if it happens that he’ll choose to have the whale at the left hand side, it will only take 5 seconds to change. There are less people back here and you are away from the iphone crowd!
While I would in almost all situations recommend the Manual mode as it opens doors to photographing in new ways I wouldn’t recommend it while out there. With constant changes in light and the clouds moving around, it’s difficult to be always looking at the built-in meter to decide on aperture and shutter speed. Instead I would recommend the aperture priority mode, setting your ISO as high as you trust your camera to handle (without noise creeping in), and then setting your aperture as high as the lightning allows (A high aperture will reduce the damage if you don’t get the focus on point) . A good rule of thumb is to never let the shutter speed get lower that 1/2000s as you will risk having your photos shaky. I like to shoot at around 4000 of a second.
This tip is a one I love. Often you’ll have the luck to have birds all around, getting one in your frame for comparison to the whale is really fun to underline the size of the whales. But when the birds just don’t go into the frame you can get really creative, putting people inside the frame or even holding some things in front of the camera (if your lens is wide enough)!
This is a common question and the answer is: Just take the your camera bag! Given that you don’t carry more than 2 lenses, you can take your camera bag – with the lenses, onboard. You can keep it inside the steering house and then take it out and switch lenses later on! It’s crucial on a trip like this to have options – If you got a good zoom lens 100-400 is my go to lens for whale watching(100-400mm, 70-200mm) that would be ideal for the first minutes of the tour but then when we get closer it’s great to be able to grab a wider lens (24-105mm).
Jersey Shore Whale Watch has resumed daily operations for whale watching and harbor tours
Face covering is need for boarding the ship , not when seated on the ship but we want you to wear it if you are up and moving around or in the bow of the boat, the boat is huge so there is plenty of sight lines to see the whales and we have had our best breaches when the whale has been to the rear of the boat.

Wednesday, July 8 Whale Watching report:
We had a great socially distanced whale watching trip a great group of people some with some very nice Canon Cameras and lens!
We left Belmar Marina at 1:30 PM, and headed north towards Asbury Park fixing to go up towards Sea Bright. There we saw the first of the three whales we saw today. Captain Alan spotted the whale about a mile away from us and made his way towards it; it was great to see. Then Danielle, our naturalist, spotted the second whale about 30 minutes later a little bit to the north of us. The third whale appeared while we were watching the second whale. The second one breached a few times and the third well was doing chain lunges. Everyone on the boat was thrilled; we had a lot of returning customers, and some new faces too. It was a great day on the ocean. I got some sea spray from the warm ocean water on the way back. Speaking of, the water was beautiful and clear; you could see many dolphins everywhere we went today. Join us soon at Jersey Shore Whale Watch, great family fun. We do not overcrowd the boat, we guarantee you will see a whale and you’ll get some fresh air.
We had a small group Sunday, but we had fun and were well rewarded with many sightings. We had a hard time deciding whether to look to look left or right, we were out on one of are farther out trips near where the Sea Bass eat and live about 8 miles off shore! We saw at least four different whales, and many dolphins too, some as close to Belmar as just outside the mouth of Shark River.
Danielle our naturalist was able to confirm that the whales were around 35 feet long and were lunge feeding and it was beautiful to see. Whale breath is a unique smells you sometimes get if you are close and downwind from a blowing whale as it surfaces. The sound is loud, and the smell is… Well, lets says unique!
I promise you we do not overcrowd the boat, and we ask everyone to wear a mask while boarding until seated. We want a safe enjoyable trip for everyone. This past weekend we had little children to adults over 80 years, we are respectful of everyone during these times.
On today’s whale watching trip, we went south out of the Belmar Marina down to the Manahawkin area looking for whales. We saw a large pod of dolphins along with a smaller pod there. On the way back, we saw a whale in Spring Lake that was feeding underwater. It came up and took a few looks at us, but it did not lunge at the bridge. Everyone on the trip was thrilled, it was a gorgeous day to be out on the ocean. The temperature was a perfect ~80 degrees, with a nice breeze.
The whale we observed today was about 1.5 miles off the beach in spring lake New Jersey
The next trip is Sunday, but we will also have trips on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of July, all at 1:30 in the afternoon. Buy your tickets now; the capacity of the boats is limited, so don’t wait!
We are asking our customers to write reviews of there trip on Jersey Shore Whale Watch

Thank you
Bill and crew of Jersey Shore Whale Watch.
I will write a better trip report but here are a few photos from todays whale watching trip, We went all the way up to Sandy Hook and then saw a whale off Sea Girt beach! about 2-3 miles off shore
We had a great whale watching trip yesterday, June 14th
We left Belmar marina, cruising along the Shark River going onto the open Atlantic. No sooner had we done this than we were met by over a hundred dolphins cruising along with us.
They definitely were both beautiful and entertaining to watch.
As we sailed along past Asbury Park beaches we encountered our first whale of the day!
Danielle, our naturalist, spotted a 2nd whale about 2 miles out off the beach at Ocean Grove. The whale stayed with us quite a while. It was fantastic
Our next whale siting was in the northern part of Asbury Park. This whale was a lot more active. Danielle realized that this whale was different from one she had seen a week before. As it was breaking out of the water, which it did several times, we saw in the wake of it a beautiful sun fish. Luckily we and others were able to capture a shot of this event.
Upon our return trip I spotted a logger head sea turtle. This is something I had never seen before.
For our first trip of the season it was terrific. In spite of all the regulations required for all of us adhering to the stay safe mandates, it was a great day that I have to thank all of those folks who joined us for their cooperation with the guidelines and still being able to enjoy the beauty and peace of just being free to share this special trip together
And to our Captain and staff Thank you for all the prep work on the boat plus the maintenance of all the facilities our passengers needed
Well Done

Our captain has 30 years experience boating and our boat is the fastest clean and biggest boat in Monmouth County, We started the whale watching tours in 2018 and We love it, read our reviews!
Trip report: The weather was perfect; there was a nice, warm, ocean breeze once we were on the water. At first it was chilly, but I was fine with a long sleeved t-shirt. The ocean water was very calm on the way up towards Sandy Hook beach, but on the way back it was a little choppy.
June 3rd 2020 whale watching report Long Branch NJ
We are happy to report a whale sighting off the coast of Long Brach New Jersey today.

We want to let you know that whale watching near me, Monmouth County has become the hotbed for whale watching in New Jersey.
Jersey shore whale watching tour has seen whales on 47 of 50 trips in the last two years. We our the only tour company that guarantees you will see a whale or your next trip is free.We leave most trips from the marina in Belmar depending on the size of our group We use different boats so you never feel crowded!

Every trip is unique as the Humpback whales are wild animals and therefore We have no idea what their behavior will be on any given day. The whales are here to feed on the bunker fish called Menhaden and many times you will experience them lunge feeding through a large school of bait fish.
Whale watching is very sage our crew is very experienced on the water and our boats all have mens and ladies bathroom and full kitchens that serve food during the trips.
You can bring our own beer or wine on board our trips as long as you are 21 years old or above. Please use cans you dont want a beer bottle dropping and breaking on the floor!Wine bottles are fine, dress in layers and remember to bring sunblock!
Some November whale watching photos from our trip down toward Island Beach State Park last week.

Great time. 🐳
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.

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 go even further in 2020 if we need to extend the trip to find the whale we will, only three times in 2020 did 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

Here are a few photos from the trip yesterday the whale was spotted off Long Branch.
We saw many ,many dolphins and a whale off the coast of Long Branch Sunday. We traveled Sunday morning north from Belmar searching for whales. We have had 11 trips this years and 10 of them we have seen whales on.
Join us this fall on a quick local funtrip to see whhales along the jersey shore.It was July 7th, a warm summer day, with calm waters. We went whale watching out of Belmar Marina. We cruised up towards Sandy Hook passing the beaches of, Avon, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Deal, Monmouth Beach, Long Branch, Sandy Hook National Park, and eventually we saw New York City in the background. When we were off the coast of Sandy Hook, we saw many pods of dolphins, sea birds, and two humpback whales!
Our guide on that trip was Danielle, a whale researcher that works with Gotham Whale. Danielle is pursuing a doctorate at Rutger’s University in marine biology. She has a wealth of whale information for the guests on Bill McKim’s Jersey Shore whale watching trip. Danielle points out what to look for in the water to spot the whales and shares information about the whales we see.
Guests on the boat trip have a great time, and bring snacks and coolers on board. One group was a bridal party enjoying champange on the open sea. Often the younger travelers take a nap. The gentle rocking and salt air seems to be a natural sleep aid! It is recommended to bring binoculars, a light jacket or sweatshirt, and some drinks and snacks.
Upon return to Belmar, there is still lots to do in the area. Marina Grill is in the same marina parking lot, a great place for cocktails, dinner, and conversation about the whale trip. Bill McKim’s Jersey Shore Whale Watches are sure to be one of your fondest memories! -n Billy
