Wildlife Cruises off Belmar, NJ
Way Overboard Sportfishing offers private wildlife cruises out of Belmar, NJ, giving your group the chance to spot humpback whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and other marine life along the Jersey Shore. Unlike the large narrated tour boats that run out of Belmar Marina, our wildlife cruises are private — it's just your group aboard our 32' Regulator FS, with Capt. Chris at the helm.
What You Might See
The waters off Belmar, Manasquan, and the greater Jersey Shore are part of a rich feeding ground for humpback whales, especially from late spring through fall. Bottlenose dolphins are commonly seen year-round, often riding the boat's wake. Depending on the season and conditions, you may also spot sea turtles, seabirds, and other marine life along the way.
A Private, Personalized Experience
Most whale and dolphin watching trips out of Belmar Marina are large, narrated tour boats carrying dozens of passengers. Our wildlife cruises are different — a private, small-boat trip built around your group's schedule and pace, without the crowd. We follow responsible wildlife-viewing guidelines throughout the trip, keeping a safe, respectful distance from whales, dolphins, and other marine life at all times.
Serving the Jersey Shore
We depart from Belmar, NJ and welcome guests from Point Pleasant, Manasquan, Brielle, Bay Head, Mantoloking, Avon-by-the-Sea, Asbury Park, Wall Township, Seaside Park, Toms River, and throughout Monmouth and Ocean County. Sightings are never guaranteed — wildlife-watching depends on the day — but our local knowledge of the water gives you the best chance of an unforgettable encounter.
