The crew is amazing and the tour was fabulous! We sailed out on a whale watching tour on 7/11/26. The weather was perfect and we were so fortunate to have very active whales to see. The captain was informative and really did a phenomenal job of making sure he pointed out as many as could be seen. There was plenty of visibility so that everyone on board could see. On the way back, we spotted a Fin Whale so the captain slowed down and we spent some time watching this whale too. The crew was resourceful, knowledgeable, and incredibly caring. Our next trip will be with the Frances Fleet and we will highly recommend this group to any and everyone who asks for a whale watching recommendation!

I booked a morning boat trip here hoping to catch some fresh fish and enjoy a relaxing day out on the water, but it turned out to be a total disaster. The staff at the check-in area were incredibly rude and acted like answering a simple question about the boarding process was a massive chore. Once we finally got out to sea, the boat felt way too crowded with people, and the crew did a terrible job of helping anyone or keeping things organized on deck. To make matters worse, the captain barely spoke over the loudspeaker and kept us anchored in spots where absolutely nobody was catching anything for hours. It was a completely frustrating experience that felt like a total waste of my time and money, and I definitely won't be booking another trip here again.

I absolutely love the Frances Fleet. As it’s now February, I miss the trips from last year, and extremely anxious for the seasons coming up. Decided to write this while looking over the last year pictures. In the last couple years I’ve hit more “slots” (keeper fish, it’s a pun) with the Frances Fleet than any casino visited. The crew are beyond friendly, informative, helpful, polite, and entertaining. They also make a great breakfast sandwich some trips. Captain Cole knows the underwater terrain, and hits the best grounds. All my personal bests catches from last year were thanks to him, Eric, Chris, and Shayne. Can’t wait for more tog, fluke, and sea bass. And of coarse, more personal bests!

Very professional outfit. They helped us catch fish on a rough day. We went as part of a memorial to scatter the ashes of my father who was a big fisherman and loved the Frances Fleet boats. The ceremony was beautiful.
