Whale Watching & Dolphin Adventure Cruise 

Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge

One Day Tour ~ Wednesday , July 21, 2021

or Thursday, July 22, 2021

It’s all aboard as we enjoy a four-hour long Whale Watch & Dolphin Adventure Cruise on the 95-foot long American Princess. The American Princess has a large upper deck with a canopy, a large main deck and cabin with cushioned seating. It has a 90% rate of a whale and/or dolphin sightings. However, sightings are not guaranteed. Cruises are rain or shine. After departing Rockaway, we pass the Marine Parkway Bridge, where peregrine falcons have been seen diving for prey. While passing the Breezy Point jetty, dolphins may appear off the coast of New York City and have been known to jump near and under the American Princess. Further offshore toward Ambrose Channel, the entrance to New York harbor, we may see the blow of a whale and hear the captain shout, “Thar she blows!” We hope to view humpback whales that are approximately 45 feet in length weighing about 40 tons. Prior to boarding our cruise we visit the scenic Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, a 9,000-acre National Refuge, located just to the east of Breezy Point, Rockaway Park and the Mill Basin. Lunch is not included, but we may bring our own lunch, snacks and water aboard. Coolers are not allowed; hot dogs, mac and cheese, snacks and drinks are available for purchase on board.
