Dolphin Fleet Whale Watching Cruises

Provincetown, MA 02652Website: whalewatch.com
Phone: (800) 826-9300
In 1975 the Dolphin Fleet started whale watching out of Provincetown, Massachusetts with the hope of bringing an understanding and awareness to the public about whales and their environment. We ventured out on educational trips with scientists to study whales as well as educate the public about marine mammals and their habitat. The first trips where a great success! Our customers were awed by these magnificent creatures charging out of the depths to capture the small fish that that is their diet. Even more exciting was a whale leaving the water with it’s 40 tons of mass crashing back with an explosion of water in it’s wake. People were eager to go again to see these whales in their natural habitat and learn more about them.

The Island of Martha's Vineyard covers roughly 100 square miles, and is home to both year-round and seasonal residents. Some live "up-island" in the more rural towns of Aquinnah, Chilmark and West Tisbury, and others live "down-island" in the more populous towns of Edgartown, Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven (also known as Tisbury). Each Island town is unique in its geography, personality, and character. All blend together to create this special place many of us love to call our home. If possible, take time to visit each of the Island towns during your visit.
