Brought my family whale watching in early August. It was such an awesome experience. The boat was spacious and comfortable(and if you forget your sunglasses like me, they have some for sale at the little shop before you board the boat).The staff were super friendly and informative, and we were able to see tons of wildlife, including a pod of well over 100 dolphins!I would definitely recommend Granite State While Watch & will absolutely be returning in the near furture for more fun whale watching adventures! ??

Amazing experience!! Staff are very nice, the captain is good at sailing, and it is very cool. Food, and drink is aloud. There is indoor, and outdoor seating. There is light food. There are clean restrooms. The view is nice. If you like whale watching, and the ocean, this is for you!!If you are prone to seasickness at all, DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT step foot on this boat. A "smooth" sailing day is extremely rough, so I don't even want to picture what a "rough" day is like. It did not impact me, and did not make the experience any better, or worse, but for people prone to seasickness, it will not be fun. One of the members of our party is prone to motion sickness, and was feeling lousy throughout the ride (she almost threw up), and again, that was considered a "smooth" day, so please choose wisely.Very nice!

My family and I had such an awesome time! The crew was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. We saw not one momma and her baby but, two momma and baby pairs! They were soo active jumping out of the water and flapping around it was breathtaking. It was an experience we will never forget!

We did the Isles of Shoals tour and it was wonderful. The guide provided lots of great info and it was affordable and a great day trip!

A fantastic adventure! Remember to bundle up and anticipate the refreshing sea breeze by wearing layers. It truly is an incredible experience.

Had a great trip, crew was awesome. We saw humpback and minke whales a couple of sharks, a seal and then a pod of porpoises followed us and jumped in the wake of the boat. I recommend Granite State whale ? watch ? Percent!

What an amazing experience. We saw whales very close to the boat, and also some porpoises too. I really liked that they had an educational aspect too, with marine biologists on board to give us info on the whales. I'd do this again in a heartbeat.

We had such a great experience! We saw a lot of whales! I realize that seeing whales is luck of the draw but the staff knew exactly where to look. Plus lots of education about the sea animals!

What a fun and absolutely amazing experience. They took the time to shift us around to see as much as possible, we saw Humpbacks, Minke whales, dolphins and a seal.......The captain moved the boat around so all passengers could see these beautiful animals. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. I can't wait to come back!

my first trip to the area, my first whale watch, and my three grown kids and one kid-in-law in tow for a summer reunion, so I was hoping this would turn out. boy, did it ever! perfect weather and calm seas got us off to a good start. and soon we were seeing pilot whales, sperm whales, finbacks and minkes -- puffing out breaths that shot spray high over the horizon, swimming briefly on the surface, and gracefully diving for another meal.best of all were the white-sided dolphins! we were lucky enough to visit two *massive* pods of these beautiful creatures, numbering in the hundreds! goosebumps, let me tell you! seeing so many at once was rare and breathtaking!thanks to the skilled and knowledgeable captain and crew for making this an adventure we'll never forget!

We had a blast! We almost didn't see whales but at the last minute, they spotted one humpback which we followed for a while. A whale expert narrated the whale spottings and gave cues for where to look for breaches. Afterward on the ride in, we all got to touch whale baleen and see photos of other whales in the area. The boat is large and double tiered, but we stayed on the bottom, right side. There are concessions which offers some shelter from the wind and familiar options like ramen and chips. The water does splash up and the wind makes it colder so I'd suggest you bring a jacket!

Nice boat. Naturalists were informative and helpful. And we got to see whales breaching! (and some pelagic birds). Would recommend.

The boat is a little small, but the staff was great. They had experts come by a few times to answer questions for the kids. We saw a ton of whales and sharks, and we got great pictures. It's about 4 hours, so if you're not sure if you get sea sick be aware.

Was a very long(about 1.75 hours) boring ride on very uncomfortable bench. Suggestion maybe some music and cushions. At least got to see a bunch of whales. Then long (1.5 hours or so)boring ride back.
