The sky was clear, but the waves were sizable, so Mark opted to stick to calmer water and man, did it pay off! We work very closely with other companies on the water in order to locate whales. No… Read more »

While we heard about some other companies going out later this afternoon, at 12:15pm we were literally the only whale watching boat on the water. But this time of year, that’s no problem. Jeff, Matt and I know… Read more »

It was with a light sprinkling of rain that Jeff, Casey, Andrea, and I, aboard Ocean Magic II, made our way through the calm… Read more »
Another gorgeous whale filled day out there! Things are a little chilly on the water nowadays, but the hot chocolate on Ocean Magic II makes it all better. And cold water is actually more productive than warm water, so we have these chilly days to thank for the astounding variety of wildlife we are so… Read more »
Guess what? More humpbacks today! Between Mark’s zodiac trip at 12:30 and Ocean Magic II’s 12:15 trip with Jeff, Matt and I, we saw at least 12 different whales!

Humpback peak season is still in full swing! Today was all about our giant cetaceans! I had a little vacation this weekend, and wouldn’t you know it, we had some of the best sightings of the year!
