Whale Tales

What better way to see the whales of Stellwagen Bank than on a 7.8m RIBCRAFT from Flagship Adventures. Last Sunday, a hot and humid day in Boston, but comfortable and cool on the water, we headed approximately 22 miles offshore to get up close and personal with these wonderful creatures of the deep. After an exciting, high speed trip to
the whales' feeding grounds, we spotted our first whale, breaching, just a few hundred yards ahead. We stopped the RIB, turned off the engine, and quickly learned that the whales in the area were just as curious about us and our RIB as we were of them. For over an hour, a group of eight whales swam around us, up to us, and under us, investigating the peculiar craft that had entered their waters and its passengers. If you want to really get up close and personal with the whales, this is the only way to visit them.
