About

You will be able to view Cape Cod White Sharks on a private guided tour, observing the sharks in their natural habitat, capturing pictures, videos, and making memories that will last a lifetime.

The waters of the outer beaches of Cape Cod offer some of the best possible viewing experiences for Great White Sharks around the globe. The shallow, clear, cold water coupled with white sandy bottoms offers a viewing experience that is second to none.

We use a spotter pilot flying overhead to direct us to the Cape Cod White Sharks, so you can expect to have an excellent viewing experience. We typically spot multiple Great White Sharks on each trip and come within a couple meters or less for excellent visibility.

Please note that while we have an exceptionally high success rate and make every effort to ensure a successful trip and provide the best possible opportunity to view multiple Great White Sharks on your tour, due to nature and other factors, we cannot guarantee a shark sighting on our tours.

Important Info

  • Total price is for the boat. The price is the same regardless of group size. Per USCG regulations, the maximum group size allowed is 6 passengers.
  • All tours will depart from the Bass River (South Yarmouth) boat ramp.
  • The tour is 3 hours dock-to-dock. The spotter pilot will be flying overhead directing us to the sharks for 1.5 hours.
  • All ages are welcome! Children 12 and under are required to wear a USCG certified life jacket during the tour. Life jackets will be available for use but you are welcome to bring your own if desired.
  • We strongly recommend wearing polarized sunglasses on your trip for the best possible viewing experience.
  • There is no bathroom on board the boat, so please keep this in mind as you prepare for your 3-hour tour.

All tours are subject to suitable weather conditions. Our White Shark Tours require very specific weather conditions to allow for clear visibility to view the sharks. Factors such as fog, clouds, rain, wind, and water clarity will need to be considered in the days leading up to your tour as weather forecasts become more accurate. Please review the Cancellation Policy.
