What To Expect

The Jersey Girl is the largest, fastest, and most comfortable whale watching vessel departing from Belmar Marina. Our brand new engines are the difference maker — we get you to the feeding grounds faster than any other boat, which means more time watching wildlife and less time traveling. That’s why our 2-hour tour delivers more action than longer tours on slower boats. Step aboard our newly renovated luxury cabin, fully updated for the 2026 season. Choose the indoor climate-controlled cabin with cushioned seating, flat screen TVs, and live onboard cameras that stream wildlife action in real time — or head up to the open-air second level sun deck for an unobstructed 360-degree view of the Atlantic.
What to expect media
Every tour is led by Dr. Danielle Brown, Director of Research at Gotham Whale for over 10 years. Dr. Brown has published scientific research papers on whale behavior in Jersey Shore and New York waters and trains naturalists from programs around the world. When she narrates your tour, you’re hearing from the foremost expert on the marine life in these exact waters — not a rehearsed script, but ten years of active fieldwork. The Jersey Girl is the only whale watch in the region where your lead naturalist is an active, published marine scientist. Nobody else at Belmar Marina comes close.
