Whale Watching Year Round
Due to popular demand, we have decided to keep whale watching year round. That’s right, all year, even in the so-called “off season”. We are the only company doing whale watching year-round on Cape Cod, and invite you to join us on our next excursion!
Why whale watch in the off-season? You’ll not only be skipping the crowds, but you’ll see a side of Cape Cod that most tourists never get to experience. The whales are still here and the sights are incredible.
Give us a call at 508-221-5920 to book your whale watch trip today. We’ll also be happy to answer any questions you may have!

Off-Season Whale Watching
Just a quick update from all of us here at Alpha: It may be mid September, but we are still whale watching!
While many whale watching companies close down come September and October, we are happy to accommodate your off-season whale watching needs, as long as weather permits.
We will still be whale watching well into October and possibly November, depending on weather conditions.
Give us a call to book your off-season trip – we’re currently offering reduced off-season rates for smaller groups. You can also contact us via email for general questions.

About Our Boat
Many of you have been asking for info on the boat you’ll be on for your whale watch, so we thought we’d post a picture so you could all check it out.
The boat we are using for our private whale watches is called the Dixie II, a 32 foot Blue Hill Marine (BHM). It has plenty of room to seat more than 6 passengers comfortably, as well as a covered cabin area. It is also used for fishing trips in addition to whale watching.
Here is a recent photo of the Dixie II (click to enlarge):
If you have any other questions about our boat, our whale watches, or anything else, feel free to leave a comment and we’ll be happy to respond!

About Our New Whale Watches and New Location
We have received numerous emails and calls from customers who are confused about our new location and our new whale watching tours. Many things have changed from last year and we wanted to clear a few things up here so there’s no more confusion.
People want to know if we are still operating 200-person+ whale watches from Fisherman’s Wharf, and the answer is no. This year we wanted to focus on a more personalized, private, and special experience. Most whale watching tours take 200-300 people out at a time, and this often means overcrowded cabins, difficulty seeing whales, and impersonal service. We simply can’t deliver the level of service we want when there are over 200 people on board, and thus have decided to offer only private whale watches this year.
Also please note that we are no longer operating from our previous location on Fisherman’s Wharf. The company that is there now is NOT Alpha Whale Watch and is NOT affiliated with us in any way – don’t be misled! Our whale watches now depart from MacMillan Wharf in Provincetown – NOT Fisherman’s Wharf!
Hope that helps to clear up some confusion. If you have any other questions, feel free to email us at alphawhalewatch @ gmail.com or call 508-221-5920. We’ll also be adding a frequently asked questions page here soon!
