Great trip with Captain Brandon. We saw beautiful dolphins, seals and of course whales! Kids had a blast. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Campobello Island🐋🐬🦭

Had such a great time out on the water! Got to see tons of whales, caught some fish, and good friendly conversation with the Captin! The boat has snacks, water, and a bathroom on board. Would highly recommend to locals and tourists alike!

We went on a whale watching and fishing trip with Captain Riddle and we saw minke whales, dolphins, porpoises, and seals. The captain was great, super friendly and informative. The best part of the trip was the fishing. The Captain knew the best spots and in no time we had half a bucket full of mackerel. He even cleaned the fish for us. The Captain's kid was there too to help his dad, and our kids befriended him and had lots of fun. All of us really enjoyed it. This is a small family business, very personable and in many ways much better than a larger whale watching operation. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting.

Captain Brandon is awesome. The minke whales, fin whale, porpoises, seals, razorbeaks, Mola Mola, and lighthouse were AMAZING but I also caught FIVE fish; a completely new experience at 52 years old that made me feel like a little kid again. Not only does Brandon know the water but he knows people and his genuine honest personality shines. My wife and I can’t wait to take a trip with him again.

We had an amazing time with Brandon and his son Grady. We brought FOUR kids ages 1-7 on board and took them to see whales, porpoises, egals, seals and finished up with some mackerel fishing. I've been on several whale watching tours, but have never had this amount of fun. He and his son were so kind and considerate with the kids. We had a party of eight and didn't feel crowded or strapped for time to get in everything.

If you are looking for a taste of the east coast, a true look into island life, call Brandon. He's straight up, patient, reliable, knowledgeable and truly a saint! All of the extra fish we caught he brought back to a retired couple on Campobello Island.

This was a lifelong memory I am very thankful we made with Brandon and Grady, and I can't wait for our next adventure with them!

We had an amazing first time whale watch experience with Captain Riddle’s Brandon and his son. It was only the four of us, my family and I, and I highly recommend booking as soon as you arrive to the area. We saw two different finback whales, some seals, several porpoises and many minke whales. Brandon knew exactly where to take us to spot several porpoises and even see them beneath the surface as they swam towards us. We were even lucky enough to see a minke whale crest only 30 feet from the boat — but like I said that was luck! Brandon knew a lot about the area’s islands, its animals, industries, etc. He even gave us a chance to fish off the boat for a bit and each of us caught at least 2 fish! Definitely worth the time and adventure to spend an afternoon with Brandon on the boat. We will come again next year for sure!

Brandon provided us with a fantastic afternoon by showing us plenty of minkes, porpoises, eagles, and grey seals. We spent some time fishing as well and he immediately put us on some mackerel, which the kids LOVED reeling in. Brandon was knowledgeable, helpful,and made sure we had a good time. He let my son steer the boat for a while and taught him how the radar worked, a special day for sure! Look him up, you won't be disappointed.
