"Great Outing Despite a Cloudy Day"
“Third time out with Captain Rob and as always it was a blast! Despite a cooler, cloudier day we were able to catch the seals, do some beachcombing (my daughter found all kinds of seaglass) and learn about the history. My kids especially loved the stories about hidden treasure and pirates! We highly recommend booking with Captain Rob. Being out on the water is a great way to see the area as well”-cesl20
"Excellent Experience"
“We had a great seal tour with Blue Claw. We saw lots of seals and beautiful scenery. Our guide was fun and informative. They were also super flexible when we added an extra person at the last minute.”-pamelalowe
"Blue Claw is the Best!"
“Blue Claw Boats Tours is the best on the cape! We have done seal tours, private tours and the the sunset cruise and will keep coming back again and again. Captain Rob is always fun! Pointing out local history and stories. He is so knowledgeable. Cathy is always so helpful with booking! Everytime we bring friends to the cape we take them with us on a blue claw tour! Highly recommend and so fun for all ages!”-Steph K
