General Comments
Whale Watcher is a very comfortable 50 foot catamaran, purpose built for whale watching, so you can get down nice and close to the whales, with full walk around deck. There is seating on the bow, upper deck, and rear deck. Facilities also include well shaded areas upstairs and downstairs, an inside cab with full toilet facilities and a kitchenette/lounge area. Full surround sound so that you can hear the great commentary or the whales and dolphins singing via their hydrophone, no matter where you are on the boat.
Enjoy the great view from all aspects of the vessel so you can see the beautiful Humpback Whales at play, feel the excitement as they come to the boat or breach around the boat - you won't believe how good this is. When you go whale watching with them you will notice a very important fact - there are no other boats to interrupt your magnificent view as they are the only whale watching vessel operating from this area - enjoy!
