We went Jerry from Aquaventures's Wave Chieftain boat. He took us to the spots where we can watch whales and dolphins. He was really the best at his job. He has so much information to share and he does it so so well. He was equally excited yet calm when we spotted whales. He had quite a lot of experience in this job. He extended our trip duration just to spot a different whale which we didn't see in our trip. I enjoyed it a lot and surely will go there again. Most certainly with Wave Chieftain and Jerry.

We had a fantastic day with captain Jerry. Great conversation and successful at locating a fun pod of dolphin as well as a pair of minke whales. Great day on the water.

Got the trip offered via the hotel in Baltimore. Loved it! Jerry gave a short introduction what to look for and to shout and point if we saw anything. We were lucky to encounter dolphins 10 minutes from the harbor. Jerry headed out for the place we had the best change of watching whales. First met one puffin, incredibly funny bird, than a group of about 10 dolphins started swimming alongside the boat. After an hour or so plumes of water from whales were seen in the distance and Jerry headed of that way. We saw several finwhales! Small groups with dolphins swimming along. Great experience! Last but not least, we could sit or stand in the boat wherever we wanted so everybody had a great view!

Absolutely terrible experience; the owners are surfing on the popularity of similar businesses in the area but offer nothing of value here. If you fancy sitting on a rough wooden bench full of shards doing nothing for hours, then this may be for you. No commentary, no actual tour, just sitting there with the hope you'll get to see some marine life. The only thing promised on the website they did fulfill was having toilets on board. It is rather obvious this whole operation is made to milk as much money out of tourists as possible; avoid at all costs.
