Whale Watching Cruises

In addition to those fishing expeditions, you can also take the time to book a whale watching cruise and see some of nature’s most majestic animals up close. During the migration season, whales can come quite close to cruise liners, making it the ideal time to go whale watching.

When booking a trip, you’ll also want to make sure to take the weather into consideration. This goes for fishing charters as well. While it may look sunny and warm on the open sea, the wind coming off the sea itself along with any water splashing over the side can make things cooler and wetter, so bringing a warmer change of clothes is always a good idea.
