Guaranteed Sightings! Positioned in the center of historic downtown Gloucester, MA and in one of the most active parts of Gloucester harbor, 7 Seas Whale Watch provides an immersive experience. From the moment you step onto the Privateer, you will find yourself amidst the bustle of Gloucester’s vibrant waterfront. You can witness fishing boats offloading their catch, see lobster men loading and placing their traps, and possibly spot some local wildlife like Harbor and Gray seals, as well as diverse bird species. The excursion begins with cruising around Gloucester Harbor, initiating at Cape Pond Ice (familiar to many from Wicked Tuna) and concluding at the Dog Bar Breakwater. A standard trip lasts around 3-4 hours, but could extend depending on the feeding location of the whales. Although the Privateer IV has the capacity for 300 passengers, we restrict bookings to 150 to prioritize passengers’ comfort and safety. The boat features restrooms, a food galley, and a bar.
