Whale Watching, Fishing, Boating

The North of Boston region is the whale watching capital of America and includes excursions from some of the area's most picturesque seaside villages. Gloucester, America's oldest seaport, is the closest point in Massachusetts to the whale feeding grounds, meaning you'll spend less time on the boat before whale sightings! In Newburyport, depart for your whale watching excursion from the same banks as some of America's famous sea captains. Whale watching, boating and fishing adventures can be done from May - December in the region.
