The Vessel
Quick Cat II spotter aircraft
As the only company that owns a spotter aircraft, you'll love our tour. Years ago spotter aircrafts were used to spot whales, but today our aircraft is mostly used for security purposes, as well as spotting the creatures on days that make it a little harder than normal. You'll love our guarantee of spotting a whale with the help of our spotter aircraft!
If you have somewhere to be in the afternoon, please check out our Morning Whale Watch Cruise.
