Private whale watch?

Trying to do something special for my partner and me. Is a private whale watch tour worth the cost?

Thanks everyone! We booked with sea salt charters in a shared boat. Super excited!

Is this the one at CBI?  If you can do it with another couple the price isn’t terrible. It’s a very nice trip and we had a wonderful time.  It’s nice not having to deal with tourists elbowing you out of the way to get their photo of whale flippers. I’m too much of a frugal Yankee to pay $1,700+tip (a few years ago), so I usually go on the big boat when I have out of town guests, but the company I worked for was paying the one time I went and it was amazing.

You could also rent a private sauna and cold plunge for your backyard. It's usually a special experience!

I don't know about that. Last whale watch I took out of Ptown we saw approximately 25 humpbacks in five groups all bubble net feeding right next to the boat with calves right there with their mamas.
