Whale feeding a few miles off Cape Ann
Adventure on Land and at Sea
For your family vacation, romantic getaway or ocean adventure, you can have a new thrill every day on Cape Ann.

Known as “the whale watching capital of the world”, the great whales put on a spectacular show just 15 miles off our shores. Miles of protected land grace our sandy to rocky coastline that is home to hundreds of species of birds and other wildlife.

Experience Cape Ann on the water with our fleet of boats offering tours, charters, rentals, kayaking, sailing, fishing and more.
