Cape Ann Whale Watch was named to the Top 5 American Whale Watching Tours by Joshua Horwitz of War of the Whales.

Watching surface action by the whales is fun. Watching these enormous creatures jump out of the water is an incredible sight.
Gloucester was America’s first port. It is the closest port to the whale’s two major feeding grounds on the Massachusett coast, Jeffrey’s Ledge and Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. USA Today lists Stellwagen Bank as one of the world’s top 10 whale-watching sites.
