More about the Whale Watch:
The New England Aquarium Whale Watch in partnership with
Boston Harbor City Cruises (BHCC) will kick off another season of cruises beginning May 16,
2024, giving guests an up-close experience with whales and ocean life off the coast of
Massachusetts. New England Aquarium naturalists serve as guides onboard the whale watch cruises as
passengers see the wildlife in Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary, a feeding ground for many
whale, dolphin, and bird species. Passengers have the opportunity to learn about these marine
animals and their behaviors from the naturalists who set sail daily.
"The start of whale watching season is our favorite time of year here at BHCC,” said Bob Lawler,
BHCC’s General Manager and Regional Vice President. “Together with the New England
Aquarium, we're thrilled to continue to provide the unique opportunity for Boston-area
residents and visitors to see and learn about whales in their natural habitat. Each year, we
welcome thousands of passengers aboard for an experience they'll never forget, and we look
forward to another spectacular season ahead. Out of a shared goal to protect the critically
endangered North Atlantic right whales, long-time partners BHCC and the Aquarium delayed
the start of the New England Aquarium Whale Watch until the right whales had migrated north
out of Cape Cod Bay.”
“At the New England Aquarium, we aim to inspire everyone to form a deeper connection to the
ocean and take action to protect it. Education is at the core of our mission, and these whale
watches provide a wonderful opportunity to experience the wonders of our blue planet firsthand,” said New England Aquarium President and CEO Vikki N. Spruill.

Departing from Boston’s Central Wharf, the whale watches run three to four hours on highspeed catamarans with outdoor viewing decks and indoor spaces with large windows. A full bar
is available onboard along with light snacks for purchase. BHCC has also taken steps toward
reducing single-use plastics onboard whale watch vessels, including the removal of plastic
water bottles.
Backed with 7 years of experience at BHCC and a degree in Marine Biology, Linnea Mayfield
starts the 2024 season in her new role as Head Naturalist. "I'm super excited to get back out to
Stellwagen Bank and see familiar flukes," she reports. "Each year, one of my favorite questions
is how much do whales eat? My answer always gets wows because it's 1 million calories a day!
That's the equivalent of a human eating 16 Oreos a minute, every minute, 24 hours a day!"
BHCC will be running multiple whale watch cruises a day. To see the schedule and learn more,
