Operating from Rose's Wharf, the 115-foot Hurricane II hosts excursions focused on respectful whale observation with the guidance of onboard educators. During the three to four hours at sea, the crew helps passengers identify individual humpbacks by their distinctive fluke patterns. The vessel is designed for varied conditions, featuring a heated indoor cabin alongside upper and lower observation decks. Beyond the marine life, the route offers views of the local coastline and lighthouses, while a galley service provides meals and drinks for the journey.
