The 45' M/V TAZ is an ideal vessel for observing and photographing wildlife. It is extremely stable, with large observation windows which allow for great viewing from both inside or outside on the deck. In addition, our unique hydrophone system allows us to hear the calls of the whales underwater. We also have a comfortable heated interior and enclosed restroom for the comfort of our passengers.

Humpback Whales!     
The TAZ and crew are fully certified by the US Coast Guard for your safety. When you join us you will have the best opportunity to see Humpback whales and other marine mammals such as Minke whales, Orcas (killer whales), Steller Sea Lions, Sea Otters, and both Dall's and Harbor Porpoises.

Bald Eagle, Puffin and a wide variety of other sea birds are often observed as well.

All tours include quality binoculars for your use, snacks and an assortment of hot beverages.

As Baba Dioum, an African ecologist once wrote: "In the end we will preserve only what we love, love only what we understand, understand only what we are taught."

We also offer custom whale watch tours and personalized group charters (up to 23 passengers).
