I can't believe that it took me so long to write a review for this place. To put it plain and simply- these are great people. My first interaction was with the lady who answered the phone. I was calling to see if they had availability for our date because I was purchasing a Groupon from another individual. She said... More

Mason and his staff are amazing people, I love them all!! They are totally dedicated to their esearch of all the whales in the are. You board the ship and are immediated treated to information about all that is around you on your way out of port. (which is the same as in the perfect storm) You et to see... More

We'd always wanted to go whalewatching and promised ourselves we'd try whilst we were in the Boston area. Unfortunately the weather was poor - drizzly and poor visibility. So, what can you do? Well, we went down to the dock and walked in only to be told that a boat was leaving in five minutes. We would normally have 'thought... More

Hubby and I recently went to Gloucester in hopes of going on a great whale watch outing. We originally wanted to go on another S.S. Whale Watch, but they didn't go out until later in the day and that would have put us home way too late. So instead we opted for Capt. Bill's because it left at 11:30 a.m.

Probably the best whale watch company we've ever seen in terms of efficiency and effort to locate whales. These folks have a passion for what they do and the result was a very enjoyable whale watch. They lose one point for the worn-out look of the boat and its appointments. For starters, they need to get rid of the diner... More

We booked the whale watching tour for Saturday 9/8. We arrived and were informed that due to high seas the trip had been cancelled (they had also left us a voicemail that we hadn't checked). We were advised that there were two other crews still going out and to my surprise they called the other crew and reserved us a... More

Fabulous whale watch! A friend had a groupon and invited me. Once I started talking about it, our group grew to 7 adults, 50 years old and up. We saw a few humpback whales, and many Fin Whales. This organization works with a naturalist who provided great information, and the crew was very friendly. We were up close .... often... More

Sunday, Sept. 2nd, our family took the afternoon whale watching tour out of Gloucester, Mass on Capt. Bill and Sons whale watch. Even though we had 4 to 6' seas, we saw a lot of whales and had a great time. They serve snacks and wine and beer on the boat. The crew is very friendly and knowledgeable. They had... More

Great whale watch - crew made a lot of effort for us to see whales but didn't crowd or stay too long by each animal. Good naturalist. Nice visitor info centre. Very good experience overall esp in comparison to Bar Harbor.
