Activity Overview
For many years Captain John have been offering trips out to see whales up close or to catch various types of fish. Operating out of Plymouth, Massachusetts they offer excellent services for those interested in whale watching and deep sea fishing. Whale watching is a particularly amazing experience that one should try while visiting the area. The waters around here are populated by great numbers of the rare, majestic sea creature so the success rate for seeing the whales is very high.
Things to Do
- Captain John whale tours start out from Town Wharf in Plymouth. They head out to Cape Cod Bay and Stellwagen Bank where there is a high concentration of whales seeing as it is a primary feeding ground for the wonderful mammals in this part of the ocean.
- Each journey is accompanied by a naturalist who will explain to you all about the animals themselves and their behaviors so that the trip is not just entertaining but educational too.
- Captain John also offer deep sea fishing trips. These trips head out onto the sea at 7 am and return at 4 pm so you have plenty of time out on the waters to catch plenty of different types of fish. Cod, haddock, mackerel, pollack and flounder can all be caught; if you have an interest in one type in particular let the crew know and they will take you to the best spot for that species.
