Why You Should Go...

Sail with Cape Ann and let the most experienced captain and crew in Gloucester navigate the 115 ft Hurricane II 15 miles off the coast of Gloucester to view nature's gentle giants feed and frolic at close range.

They offer guaranteed sightings, a full galley, a bar at reasonable prices, and, best of all, free parking.   

Cape Ann Whale Watch has been the pioneer of whale watching in Gloucester since 1979. They are the home of Hurricane II, the largest and fastest whale watch vessel north of Boston.  

In 2014, CAWW was ranked as one of the top 5 U.S.-based whale watches by Joshua Horwitz, author of War on Whales (CBS local).

Cape Ann Whale Watch was also chosen by the World Cetacean Alliance to be the only U.S based ambassador for this international organization. WCA is dedicated to raising the standards of whale watching worldwide through education.
