Our whale watching captains communicate about current whale sightings with our early morning Deep Sea Fishing captains who have already been out for hours. This allows us to bring you directly to the whales' location. This up-to-date communication coupled with the speed of our vessels means our whale watching passengers spend more time enjoying the whales. We know where the whales are before other captains are even out of bed! -- a unique Yankee Whale Watching advantage.
