Go Whale Watching in Virginia Beach
Our knowledgeable captain and crew will lead you on an educational journey along the Atlantic coast in search of whales, dolphins, seals, and seabirds. The highlight of these trips is spotting humpback whales, which can often be seen breaching, flipper slapping, or tail lobbing. Witness the world’s largest marine mammals!
With 40+ years of experience navigating our coastal waters, we are sure to give you and your family the experience of a lifetime. All of our boats are ADA compliant, equipped with two bathrooms, a snack bar, a full bar, a heated indoor cabin with comfortable seating, and have a spacious upper deck that is perfect for spotting Virginia’s magnificent wildlife.
Experience the best of Virginia’s marine wildlife with the experts at Rudee Tours. Whale sightings are guaranteed from December through February, if none are seen then you may ride again for FREE! No refunds will be offered. We can promise you this is not a trip you want to miss!

- Dress for the weather! It can be slightly cooler out on the water especially in the spring, fall, and winter. We may have to cancel trips due to high winds, but our cruises will still go when it is raining.
- Your comfort is a priority! We want to ensure that all of our passengers feel at home on the water and have everything they could need right at the tip of their fingers. Whether you want to enjoy an adult beverage (don’t forget to bring your ID for our craft beers & spirits!) while watching the wildlife in their homes or to purchase a memento to remember the trip, the Rudee fleet has it all inside the climate-controlled cabin and ship store.
- Departs from Rudee Inlet at the Virginia Beach Fishing Center (parking is free while you are on the trip).
- The duration of the trip may vary dependent upon conditions and sightings. Allow for flexibility around the anticipated return time and prepare appropriately.
