7 SEAS WHALE WATCH

This family-run business has been operating for 35 years and is Gloucester's most reputable, not least because its guides are true scientists and professionals in marine biology! Board the Privateer IV for a 3.5-hour marine safari. On the program: whale encounters, of course, but also a wealth of information about Gloucester's port and historical landmarks, the birds you'll encounter and, depending on the season, the dolphins, turtles, seals and other marine species you may be lucky enough to spot.
