whale watching boat

Marine mammal vessel

A whale watching boat is a vessel that carries passengers to observe whales in their natural habitat.

These boats range from small zodiacs to large catamarans, typically operating from coastal areas where whale populations congregate seasonally: The whale watching boat took us within fifty feet of a breaching humpback.
