Whale watching in Boothbay Harbor is one of the most popular things to do. There is no question that most vacationers coming to Maine are interested in seeing whales. Those who are less enthusiastic usually have some fears or concerns about the time of the trip, distance out to sea and the possibility of getting sea sick.
About 20 miles off the coast of Maine is a feeding ground for hungry whales. It is the perfect spot to catch a glimpse of the world’s largest living creatures. All of the whale watching excursions leave out of Boothbay Harbor. The chance of sighting a whale during one of these cruises is so high, some companies offer a money back guarantee. Whale watching is a family friendly activity that is both educational and enjoyable. Revel in the excitement as a whale spouts a stream of water into the air or breaches the ocean’s surface, crashing back to the water with a spectacular splash. While cruising in the Gulf of Maine, keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, seals and puffins too.
One recommendation for Whale Watching in Boothbay Harbor is the Harbor Princess. The Harbor Princess is a stable, custom-designed, high speed aluminum vessel. She is 100 feet long and 24 feet wide and can comfortably accommodate 149 passengers. The bridge of the Harbor Princess is equipped with the latest navigation electronics including marine radios, radars and GPS to help them keep track of the locations of whales. The design of the Harbor Princess allow you to have a great viewing area for watching whales. You can choose the open-air deck or heated enclosed cabin for your whale watching experience. The bottom deck is also designed for passengers to walk 360 degrees around the boat to see whales from any vantage point. While in Maine be sure to experience this amazing adventure!

This is one of our favorite family activities every summer in Boothbay! Our three kids absolutely love trying to be the first to spot a whale, and all of us are blown away by the sheer size of them! The other summer, one was swimming alongside the boat watching us from below the water's surface. Very, very cool
