Based in Montauk, NY, our private whale watching trips offer a unique and intimate experience witnessing the majestic marine life off the coast of Long Island. The waters surrounding Montauk have seen a significant resurgence of whales, including humpbacks, minke whales, and finbacks, making it one of the prime whale-watching spots on the East Coast. Charter the Susie E II and get to know these awe-inspiring creatures up close.
Join us for a 4-hour private charter where we pass the iconic Montauk Lighthouse and head into the Atlantic in search of these gentle giants. Our experienced crew will guide you through this unique ecosystem while offering insights into whale behavior, marine conservation, and the importance of protecting these majestic creatures. Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast or looking for a family-friendly adventure, this trip promises breathtaking sights and thrilling moments as whales breach, tail-slap, and feed right in front of your eyes. It’s one thing to view these creatures from 5 stories up in the air, but nothing compares to meeting these gentle giants at eye-level.
