Your captains have spent the majority of their lives on the ocean. Captains Paul and Sebby grew up in Gloucester and were captains on board Gloucester fishing vessels. The years spent searching out the most productive fishing areas of the Gulf of Maine have given them a unique and intimate knowledge of the wildlife that frequents the area and where it can be found. We adhere to the whalewatch guidelines set forth by the National Marine Fisheries Service for safe and respectful boat conduct around the whales.
