ON BOARD ‘MOBY DICK’

‘Moby Dick’ is an 18-metre wooden boat that can carry up to 60 passengers.

It is the largest and most comfortable whale-watching boat operating on São Miguel Island.

We travel at a leisurely speed of between 9 and 12 knots and thus do not endanger the sea fauna..

The ship’s size enables you to move around freely and choose whether you want to...

  • Stay inside, 100% dry and out of the sun.

 

  • Sit comfortably on one of the benches either at the front or the back of the boat, wherever there is just enough sun, wind and ocean-spray for you.

 

  • Sit on the open viewing platform at the top for even more photographic opportunities. From up there you can enjoy an unrestricted 360° view of the breath-taking wildlife and scenery.
