Whitby Whale Watching

Whitby Whale Watching take passengers on boat trips in search of whales, dolphins, seals and sea birds. They are located in the harbour area of Whitby, North Yorkshire.

Whitby Whale Watching Overview

Their Whale watching cruises run through the month of September as this is peak season. Please note that trips may be cancelled or cut short due to weather conditions. Their cruises last for around 4 hours and there are refreshments that you can purchase onboard.

In the summer and autumn months, whales move south along the east coast of Yorkshire, following the shoals of mackerel and herring. Skipper Bryan Clarkson is an expert in finding whales off the Whitby coast. Minke whales are spotted most often and other recent sightings have included sei, fin and humpback whales. The chance of seeing whales in September is over a 90% probability although not guaranteed.

The boat goes some distance out to see so please ensure you have plenty of layers, a waterproof/windproof coat, trousers, hat and gloves. Sunscreen is also a necessity. The boat has indoor and outdoor seating.
