The difference is Fun.
There are a few boats to choose from both in New Jersey and on the East Coast. Some of these boats offer a ride to see wildlife in the area. Some offer a science light tour, or a history theme, or an educational aspect. None of these other boats offer what Captain Jeff and Cape May Whale Watcher offers.
When you ride with us you are embarking on a journey with Captain Jeff Stewart and his family. We are taking you aboard our tour boats, customized by us for your tour. We have designed it, welded it, powered it, trimmed it, planned it, painted it and maintained it, specifically for your trip.
