Afternoon trip today with Whitby Coastal Cruises gave good sightings of 15+ Minkes & up to 4 Humpbacks. 1 which did a full breach & 2 humpbacks who breached together.

The Whales were around 8miles offshore

Currently 2 un-identified large whales being followed & white beaked dolphins bow riding.

There's 2 trips going out a day. I think there are spaces on all except the weekend trips.

Sounds good Tyson, how many hours do the trips usually take?

Usually 4hours Richard although the Sunday evening trip ended up being 6 because of the amount of whales there were around the boat.

Funnily enough I was in Whitby last week and saw on the boards for one of the boat companies that they had been spotting a lot of Minkes and a few Humpbacks. I was somewhat dubious, to be honest, so nice to see someone on here confirm it

We had a young Fin Whale appear right next to the boat off Whitby yesterday.

It circled the boat 1 and a half times, clearly looking at us.

We also saw 2 Sunfish, 3-4minkes & plenty of Porpoises.
