Spectacular Shark Sightings Off Cape Ann

Thrilling news for ocean enthusiasts! Guides and passengers aboard a whale-watching tour near Cape Ann were treated to an extraordinary sight: two great white sharks swimming just 10 miles north of Gloucester. This rare encounter was highlighted by Amanda Johnston, the lead naturalist at 7 Seas Whale Watch, who described the moment as 'incredible.'

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Encounter

With seven seasons of guiding experience, Johnston was exhilarated to witness such an event for the first time. "The sea was so calm, almost glass-like," she recalled, sharing that the captain had an instinct that they were in for a surprise that day. Instead of heading straight toward a distant group of whales, they chose to explore, leading to the unexpected shark sighting.
