First class operation! This is our 2nd time with 7 Seas and they deliver. We had multiple sightings of Humpback whales and when they dive with their tail in the air, it is just awesome. The crew kept us informed so the trip was both educational and awesome in the sightings. Highly recommended.

My family and I are so happy with our experience from 7 Seas Whale Watch. This was my son’s first whale watching experience and he is still talking about it with his friends and teachers at preschool. The crew and staff at 7 Seas are so nice and knowledgeable. It’s a 4 hour boat trip, so the staff (especially Noah) was so supportive as he checked in with us and made sure our little guy was supported and directed us to when the whale will show up. Every staff member on this boat was amazing, which is why we will be back with our friends. The captain of the boat was such a great driver, and he/she helped us find various whales in the ocean. I wish I can give 7 Seas 10 stars for customer service, cultural competency and most of all, their efforts to protect and respect whales and their environment. Highly recommended, will most likely be back before the Summer ends. You all are amazing and kind people!!!!My first whale watch the crew was great telling us about the different whales we saw the water was so calm and flat we were actually able to see harbor porpoises! I highly recommend them and we’ll definitely be back

Specifically booked this excursion to Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary, as advertised for guaranteed whale sightings. Once on the excursion, was told that Captain would choose where he wanted yo go. (False advertising). So Captain decided to go up towards Cape Ann, which is no where near the “advertised Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary. Well into the trip they said no humpbacks and or big whales have been seen for a few weeks now. I understand that wildlife is unpredictable but at least go to where you advertise for a specific excursion and maybe have some options to please your guests for a 4 1/2 boat ride. They do offer a return ticket for another time but when you travel 1700 miles and you guarantee a sighting at least offer a refund especially when you do not go to the place advertised. I know from personal experience in Sitka Alaska at least we got to see otters, eagles and harbor seals( a back up plan) to make up for no whales . So with this being said I have given you a two star rating. I hope this helps other travelers from far away states.The staff, experience, and whole trip was one to remember for a lifetime.

The staff, experience, and whole trip was one to remember for a lifetime. I took my mother on her first whale watching trip and we had an experience that will never be forgotten. The staff was so informative and as excited as we were when we saw a pod of dolphins and not one, not two, but three whales! Thank you for being a part of a mother-daughter experience that will live forever.
