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.
Moby Dick:
Offers you dry storage for your camera and belongings;
Provides you with bottled water and snacks;
Has 2 bathrooms on board;
Is the only whale-watching boat certified to operate more than 6 miles off shore;
Is the only commercial whale-watching boat;
Is certified and regularly inspected by the IPTM (Instituto Portuário e dos Transportes Marítimos);
Is the only owner-operated whale-watching boat on São Miguel.

Tour Description
Heading towards the sunset escorted by the Atlantic Ocean and warm breeze and embark on this memorable experience. Watch the beautiful coast line with the different volcanic structures as caves, lava tubes and islet of São Roque. Enjoy the Atlantic waters and have a dip at deep sea or if you feel more comfortable close in the coast. Then, smell the salt air, fell the warmth of the sun on your skin and get prepared to see the sun touching the horizon spreading in the sky the most amazing fire colors and be delighted with the reflection of Ponta Delgada lights - the main town of the Azores - on your arrival to the Marina. Don’t forget to bring your swimming suits and towels in case that you are up for a late afternoon swim!

Intense in knowledge transmission. They excel in animal tracking with non-intrusive methods. I had an amazing, unexpected experience. Wonderful. They teach the importance of caring for and respecting our seas and oceans, which is crucial.
Exciting excursion, friendly and knowledgeable staff, not too crowded catamaran. We saw two different species of dolphins and a sperm whale with its calf. Thanks for the wonderful experience!
A magical moment! We were able to easily see and interact with the dolphins. There was only our boat with 8 swimmers in total, making it even more enjoyable – a special time with the dolphins. Very clear explanations and a guide who listened and was very pleasant. We will be back 👍
During our vacation, we enjoyed both stand-up paddle and kayaking, resulting in an unforgettable experience. The staff were all incredibly friendly. They recommended restaurants after the activity with a personal touch. 100% recommended.
An outstanding experience. The marine biologist and the driver were both incredibly passionate. We saw 2 dolphins and 2 sperm whales that dived. An unforgettable memory under perfect weather. Thank you for all these unforgettable moments.
It’s impressive that we haven’t found anybody during our walking tour. It was amazing the communion with nature. It feels that nature is still untouched.
