Offshore Pelagic Trip 08/15/2022 (approx. 24 hours)

We will explore the deep offshore waters up to and possibly beyond the edge of the Continental Shelf and the Hudson Canyon waters.  This ultra-deep trip coincides with pelagic migration. 

There is a good chance for a variety of species including Cory’s, Great, Manx, Sooty and Audobon’s Shearwaters, Black-capped Petrel, Leach’s, White-faced, Band-rumped, and Wilson’s Storm-Petrels, Red and Red-necked Phalaropes, Arctic Tern and all 3 jaegers.  Phalaropes may already be in breeding plumage and jaegers may be adults. Other rarities we’ve found in our region in summer include Trindade (formerly Herald) and Fea’s Petrel, Masked Booby, and South Polar Skua.

Deep water cetaceans are also possible like Cuvier’s Beaked Whale, several species of Mesoplodon Beaked Whale, Atlantic Spotted, Offshore Bottlenose, Striped & Risso’s Dolphin, and Pilot Whale with Fin, Humpback, and Minke Whales more likely in a bit shallower water.

This trip is approximately 24-hours. Capacity is limited.  Reservations are required. Rain/cancellation date is Monday August 22nd departing Sunday August 21st at 9:00 PM

Boarding begins at 8:00 PM on Sunday evening, August 14th. Passengers will board in the order in which their booking was received.

After checking in, passengers will board one at a time and be able to choose a location on the boat for their belongings and an area to sleep, etc. (example one side of each table).

After your reservation is booked, we will send a trip disclaimer that will need to be signed and sent back as acknowledgment and agreement.
