We've had excellent sightings with several humpbacks, finbacks, minke whales...and white-sided dolphins! This has been the best season for sightings in more than 10 years.

JOIN US NEXT WEEKEND!
September 14 Lighthouse Cruise from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Cape Neddick's Nubble Light is always a favorite!

Join Newburyport Whale Watch for a cruise past the historic lighthouses of northern Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and southern Maine. On the way out of the Merrimack River, we'll view the Newburyport Harbor Range Lights and Plum Island Light. On the short New Hampshire seacoast we'll pass close to White Island Light in the Isles of Shoals, as well as Portsmouth Harbor Light in New Castle. In southern Maine, we'll cruise near Whaleback Light, Boon Island Light (the tallest lighthouse in New England), and the scenic Cape Neddick "Nubble" Light in York.

The cruise will be narrated by Jeremy D'Entremont, historian for the American Lighthouse Foundation and author of several books, including his latest, "The Lighthouse Handbook: New England." Jeremy will have signed copies of his book available.

Cost is $55 per person or $100 per couple.
Kids welcome! $30 per child ages 4 to 12.

This curious humpback was especially fun to watch!
