I wanted to talk a bit about the boat we go whale watching on>
The boat is 115 feet long has 2 levels and also has separate full size men’s and ladies bathrooms that are always kept extremely clean
We promise that you and your guests will be impressed with the experience on the boat and the cabin is air conditioned!
Here are a few photos I took of the boat this morning before we went whale watching from the Belmar Marina on route 35 in Belmar New Jersey
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!

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
We take a very large safe boats to go whale watching some of the boats can hold as many as 80 people so you don’t have to worry about anything about safety on the boats will be a great time great trip kids of all ages love it I’m not sure I would bring an infant there’s really no reason so if you’re going to really remember anything I would probably gets in the way of the parents are in good time just having to hold the baby the whole time brother was young children are welcome to come on the whale watching trip we leave out of Belmar we do weekdays and weekends weekends
I have spoken to a couple of boat captains finback whales of Belmar off the coast of belmar this week we will be going whale watching in May we won’t be going in April because the fin back whales or migrating north up towards Cape Cod Fish just kind of passing through the area so we will be waiting till the whale are feeding in the in the area is the humpback whales feeding the air is off of Sandy Hook down to Manasquan inlet and we know it’s more predictable trip we will see whales. Whale watching is a fun join is https://jerseyshorewhalewatchingtour.com Jersey Shore Whale Watch Tour
