See for Yourself!
For over 30 years, the Stewart family has welcomed guests aboard the Cape May Whale Watcher to share the magic of the sea and the incredible marine life that calls Cape May home. Founded in 1993 by Captain Jeff Stewart and his wife Mary, Cape May Whale Watcher remains a true family business — proudly owned, operated, and crewed by generations of the Stewart family. From the moment you step aboard, you’re greeted not by a corporation, but by a family of lifelong mariners, naturalists, and storytellers who live and work right here on the water. Our experienced captains, seasoned naturalists, and dedicated crew combine deep local knowledge with genuine hospitality to make every trip personal, educational, and unforgettable. When you sail with us, you’re part of the family — and part of a Cape May tradition that has been sharing dolphins, whales, and ocean adventures for more than three decades
