About Frances Fleet:

Whale Watching occurs in many ports in and around New England. The port of Galilee is no exception. The ocean waters off our coast are exposed to warm water eddies that break off from the Gulf Stream. Waters in mid summer can reach temperatures in the high 70’s. It is in these warm waters where the majestic Finback Whales come to feed. On a Whale watch trip you might see other whales such as Humpbacks, Minke, Pilot, False Killer, and even a Sei whale. The warm waters also attract giant ocean sunfish, sharks, tuna and marlin. Portuguese man of war, leatherback and loggerhead turtles also might be seen, as well as and also many varieties of dolphin. While on the Rhode Island whale watch boat, you may have the opportunity to view many different types of sea birds. Trips begin on June 30th and run through September 1st.

The Frances Fleet offers a variety of fishing trips, including ½ day, full day, night, offshore and overnight extended trips. Novices and experienced anglers alike are welcome on all our trips, and our crew will be happy to give instructions to anyone who wants/needs assistance.
