Whale Watching Tours Departing Daily for Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary
7 Seas Whale Watch has been leading whale watching tours from Gloucester, MA for over 30 years. We are located in the heart of historic downtown Gloucester (web cam). Gloucester itself sits on the southern shore of a rocky cape called " Cape Ann", and is just a forty-five minute drive north of Boston, MA.
Gloucester/Cape Ann happens to be situated directly between two major whale feeding grounds: Stellwagen Bank and Jeffrey's Ledge (see map). Both areas are home to numerous whales, dolphins aand a wide variety of seabirds
Together these two areas make up "Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary" which was listed as one of the world's top 10 whale watching sites by USA TODAY (5/24/07)
Our location gives us the fastest access to the very best whale watching in New England!
Eco-tourism, Education, and Responsible Whale Watching
7 Seas Whale Watch takes pride in our commitment to education and environmental awareness. Every one of our whale watching trips is led by a professional marine biologist that is there not only to study the whales we see, but also to pass on information to our passengers that is fun, educational, and inspires a deeper appreciation for all natural environments...that's what Eco-tourism is all about!
Our Commitment To Our Passengers

The Privateer IV Features Extra-Wide Outside Decks Which Makes For Easy Viewing Of The Whales And The Freedom To Move About The Boat During Your Time With The Whales
The PRIVATEER IV now features a large-screen GPS display which allows you to track the vessel's speed, position, heading, and changes in ocean depth. This new GPS can even create a 3-D image of the ocean floor beneath you! This is a great way to better understand the underwater habitat that the whales live in, track where you travel on the ocean during your trip, and know exactly where whales are sighted
The PRIVATEER IV also has a large inner cabin complete with natural wood tables, cushioned seats, a full-service galley with food and beverages, and is heated during cold weather
