Enjoy a Unique Yankee Whale Watching Advantage
We have a whole fleet of vessels, some leaving as early as 5am. - all on the look-out for whales! We spend more time viewing whales and less time trying to find them! Yankee fishing excursions travel to the world renowned whale feeding areas known as Stellwagen Bank and Jeffrey's Ledge. Our whale watching captains communicate about current whale sightings with our early morning Deep Sea Fishing captains who have been out for hours earlier that morning. This allows us to bring you directly to the whales' location (and spend less time searching for them). This up-to-date communication coupled with the speed of our vessels means our whale watching passengers spend more time enjoying the whales. We know where the whales are before other captains are even out of bed! -- a unique Yankee Whale Watching advantage. |

Our commitment to conservation, research and education
The Center for Oceanic Research and Education performs field research on whales aboard each Yankee Whale Watching trip. CORE Director, Lisa Fox has been a Yankee Whale Watching Staff Scientist and has conducted research on cetaceans (whales, dolphins & porpoises) since 1988. With a combined experience of 27 years, CORE's research staff is among the most experienced in the cetacean field. In collaboration with other research organizations, CORE's staff members have contributed to a wide scope of whale research conferences, symposia and literature. Yankee Whale Watching is proud of Jerry Hill, our founder and president, who has been on the advisory council for the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, the only representative from any whale watching organization. This hand in hand commitment to conservation and research assures the future for these magnificent creatures. |
