Introducing our creature of the week, the seal! Common and gray seals are frequently seen along the New England coast, often resting in groups called haul-outs. Did you know that seals can hold their breath for up to 30 minutes and dive over 1,000 feet deep?

Have you seen any seals around this summer? Let us know where in the comments below! (And if not, consider booking a lobster boat tour with Rockport SeaVenture, because we often see seals in the water!)

I’ve always been interested in fishing and lobster trapping, and figured I’d do this tour after it came highly reviewed. It’s located at the end of tuna wharf right beside the 7 seas restaurant and beside motif #1. Jim and John are retired school teachers who lobster trap on the weekends and take a visitors along for the ride with them. They have an old fishing boat that has a ton of charm docked right in Rockport Harbor.

I took a 3 PM tour and had a blast! Complementary beer and water make for a very fun time as well. There’s a couple seats at the back of the boat and they take you out and show you how to bait, cast, and reel the lobster traps in. We caught a few keepers as well! Both Jim and John are genuinely good people and show you a great time. They teach you about the local fishing industry, history of Rockport and Massachusetts, as well as taking you on a little ride past the harbou seals and the big lighthouse before heading back to shore. It was approx 1.5 h total, which was the perfect amount of time. We had a beautiful day on the water with ideal weather.

Thanks again for the amazing trip, I will return! - Mitchell G.
