We can't say enough good things about the experience we had on the boat. The whales and sights were beautiful. The boat was clean and there was plenty of room. The staff were very helpful and were pleased to find a snack bar aboard (saved us from bringing water!).
We called that morning and were lucky to reserve tickets for the same afternoon. Our biggest tip - arrive early. Parking is a short walk away (and cost us $20!). Provincetown is very busy and moving through the crowds was difficult at times. After getting tickets it's another short walk down the pier with more crowds, it got very busy! Seating is first on - so get in line early if you want prime seats (rumored to be on the second floor deck).
The company also offers a DVD or download of the trip. We ordered it as a keepsake but we didn't learn about it until the end. It's a bonus if you don't want to be glued to a camera the whole time!
The highlight of our trip, so many majestic whales and dolphins too!! We have used Dolphin Fleet every time we come to the cape and never been disappointed!
How many whales today it was a beautiful day and the employees were very helpful but when I told the employees that the people who are in the front of the boat and they never moved once and they had a family of five one was heavy set but the big bag getting everybody you couldn't even get up to see the whales that is the only thing that I would have changed is that they should tell people they can't stay up there the whole time otherwise the boat was nice to hear was amazing
Prompt, organized, clean and well kept boat, knowledgable crew and whales galore! We took our 6 and 4 year old and they were absolutely amazed by the number of whales we saw. Can't wait to go back again in the future!
We thoroughly enjoyed going on the Dolphin Fleet Wale watch. Plenty of room to sit down. The best views seem to be from the second level deck. Whale sightings happened on both left and right side so no one side seemed to be at an advantage during our excursion. We saw a total of 13 sightings and some were pretty close to the ship. This was an awesome experience and we highly recommend going on a whale watch.
This trip was the highlight of our stay on Cape Cod. The company virtually guarantees sightings of whales and as the boat was sailing to the Stellwagen Bank feeding ground, the extremely knowledgable guide explained that the crew were in contact with other boats so that they could take us to the location which would give us the best chance of seeing whales. He also explained the ecology of the area and told us about the regulations governing whale watching today, largely developed by the Dolphin company. We were not disappointed! We saw humpback, minke and fin whales, many at very close quarters. The whole trip lasted around three hours and was well worth the money. We booked online and picked up our tickets at the office near the harbour in Provincetown. You are advised to arrive an hour before the trip, to allow time to park and walk to the harbour and I would agree with this advice, as Provincetown is a very busy place.
