The New England Aquarium has partnered with Boston Harbor City Cruises to give visitors front-row seats to view the ocean’s most fascinating and magnificent animals. The New England Aquarium Whale Watch conveniently departs from Boston's Central Wharf.

Set sail for the whale watch experience of a lifetime. Your destination: Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary, a rich feeding ground for whales, dolphins, sea birds and other marine creatures. From Boston, Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary is just a short ride away. One of the world’s most active marine sanctuaries, Stellwagen is home to several kinds of large whales, including acrobatic humpback whales, finback whales, minke whales, as well as pilot whales and the critically endangered right whales. White-sided dolphins may also put in an appearance. Learn about all these fascinating marine mammals from onboard naturalists trained by Aquarium experts.

Adventure awaits. The custom whale watch catamarans are among the largest and most comfortable in the country. They are also incredibly stable, and feature outside viewing decks as well as a climate-controlled interior cabin with cushy seats and snack bar. Don’t just get to the whales—get to them in style and comfort.

On a New England Aquarium Whale Watch, you are guaranteed to see whales. If there are no whale sightings on your trip, you will receive a free ticket for a future whale watch with Boston Harbor City Cruises.
